for further instructions

p.s all we require is petrol money and maybe some accomadation

Aren't they having something else instead?? I think I saw in the paper that it was going to held at Tillermans threw out Labour weekend.

No!!!!!!! The 96 hours gig at Tillermans is NOT a replacement for Cherrystock! They are being run by different organisations. 96 hours is being run by Sputnik Productions, Glazed Cherry Promotions (organisers of Cherrystock) had tied itself to a couple of out of town bands and Tillermans decided that they would still like to have them play this Labour Weekend... hopefully Motherguru will still be coming down.
So Tama Drummer... kill that rumour! (: Jay doesn't have anything to do with that gig at Tilli's and without Jay there is no Cherrystock!
Glad to see you care though!

Going by the paper it looked like it, it looked like the had the same bands playing - Hatred, Nude Ruby, Haze, Resin 8 etc

yeah, between you and I someone is jumping on the Cherrystock Bandwagon... did the article mention that 96 hours is not free? The organiser works for the Southland Times... could be some propanganda! (: In Vegas thats highly likely...

it mention nothing about it being not free, it didn't even have a name!!
I reckon they should of picked a better venue like the Embassy, Tillys is too small for something like that
// could be some propanganda! (: In Vegas thats highly likely...
Very true!!

Look, to be honest I don't think it'll be supported as much as something like Cherry. People want to be out in the sunshine, a few bevies, nice buzz and some good sounds. They don't wanna go to the same ol' place, you know? It's just really sad that people are associating it with Cherrystock all cause of one person wanting to cash in. Cherrystock will happen though... and by the way, your rumour on the 8 Foot Sativa page was correct. They were very keen to come down and play but the timing is all wrong cause of their tour in November. Never mind...

I was talking to the drummer of the Haze band & they didn't know anything about it.
Quite stupid to put in the paper that a band is playing, but they no nothing about it!!

I agree...but thats Invercargill 2bit promoters for you...they are only thinking of what they get out of it not about actually sussing things out legitimately. Its a small town and bad press can get around fast. It'll bite them on the ass... such a shame.

I went to Tillys on sunday, didn't stay that long but saw Haze & Resin 8, they were quite good, it gives some hope for Invers music.
I saw you there, but you weren't there very long.
Notice how Tillys looks quite bad in the daynight?

I love Resin 8...I have a Cd of theirs and they are about to release an EP! Why didn't you come and say "Hi"?... I feel all violated...lol
POWA finishes up in 2 weeks...I've been flat tack trying to suss things out b 4 I go...I 'm off back up to Aucks to live...no more POWA...):
Hey, I've been having trouble dubbing off that footage for you...will try again tomorrow...crappy dubbing suite.
Take it easy.

Oh yeah and Tillis looks really shit during the day...
I wasn't keen on saying round...the atmosphere was like a bad 16 year olds birthday party... love the music but the music needs Cherrystock...

Resin 8 had a good set, there was a lot more people there when they played, but left after they finished.
//Why didn't you come and say "Hi"?... I feel all violated...lol
I was thinking about it, but then you left, but I was talking to a guy that I hadn't talk to for about 6 or 8 years, he's actually the drummer on the Anals. It seems a lot of drummers know each other here
//I 'm off back up to Aucks to live...no more POWA...):
Are you not coming back?? You going to see RHCP?? I will be coming up for that.
//Hey, I've been having trouble dubbing off that footage for you...will try again tomorrow...crappy dubbing suite.
No hurry, take your time, doesn't worry me that much.
//I wasn't keen on saying round...the atmosphere was like a bad 16 year olds birthday party
Haha, yes it was like that, I thought it was R18.
I would of liked to have seen Nude Ruby & Hatred play, but I getting tired, also I felt like a outsider there anyway.

No, I'm not coming back...I'll so miss Invers though aye...really love it down here....my friends and the lifestyle...similar to where I grew up (Kaitaia...) but I've gotta move on career wise...I was employed to start up POWA and I've done that and now after two seasons of late night TV I'm keen to try and see what the networks can offer me...RAT RACE....aarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! lol
I love the Anals....they are fantastic...I just wish they'd get their shit together and do things properly....with the right management and committment they could be huge... I have an 8 foot Sativa poster for you and I'll do that dub tonight if those bastards are off the dubbing suite....dubbing off Buddy Holly Tapes....gag! As soon as I have the dub done I'll email you....
Shit, this is turning into our own wee Invers forum....are we the only ones from Invers who are members here?
See ya... (well, you'll see me!!!)

//are we the only ones from Invers who are members here?
Nope, there are a few/were some in the Rubicon & Zed forums, but they don't count ;)
Also a guy from Radio Southland posted here about a month or 2 ago

Is Powa still be going to be on next year without you?? Is Jay staying??
Good luck in your future career's

Oh yeah, Prozaco was living here last here too, but now she's back in Auckland

Jay will be staying on in Invers... but no POWA... I produce and present it you see and nobody here is willing to do the hard work behind the show. Lots of people are keen to present....(everyone wanting to be stars, huh?) but unless MTV employs someone from outta town then there won't be a student show. Sucks... I really wish it would continue...I think its a shame that we worked so hard on it for 380 shows and then its gonna die in the ass... Jay isn't sure what hes up too, I think hes abit sick of the ol' window cleaning...now that he has a taste for TV, he wants more......mooowahhhhh ha ha....!!!! lol
See ya...
