mbey cusp 03 will educate me concerning non nz bands

Forums: NZ Music,

buddy. that's pretty much just die dj die again.

man there is a huge slip just there jj talking about you bias towards welly bands ....... fair enuff but going on to imply that welly = nz was a big mistake teehee ;p
let's hope that this years Cusp being the 1st will go with out any "problems" so we can have another next year.
I'm thinking about my list and will post it later, but I know right now that it will be made up from a % of nelson bands and others ..... I mean thats what I love about the Cusp line up it's unashamed promotion of Nelson Music, and covering as many styles as possible.

is metal covered? if nadir were to reform i would come.

who are nadir?

nadir were a nelson band. i think they broke up maybe three or four years ago. they had an album called rust which was wicked. and an ep after that called with fury which finished with two of the most token remixes i have ever heard. i dont really know much about them. they were apparently way better live (like every other band?) you should dig round for their album.

Are Ejector not good enough to qualify..Well fuck you! Nah ejector suck and I hope they split up soon!!!

are they not split up yet??? the rumours abound surrounding ejector's present status. Missing out on jon's official selection for cusp 04....could this be the end for ejector...

nope, its just the bassist is in germany for a year, im not prediciting anything for ejecotr, i'd love to see em start up again...
and its not like im the official NZM fortune teller am i???

nik, you silly fuck.

fucking with jon jr. is a good way to kill a slow sunday 'arvo

only in mentally, i don't want any of that physical shit (ignore that hopeless pun)

don't ya pick i fight with me boy, cause once i start a fight i don't finish it till i stop!!!

ha!!!

Ejector rule . Would have loved to have seen them @ Die DJ DIe......alas.

Anyways, please excuse my total ignorance...but what is Cusp ??????

cusp is the shit....check out below link.

basically a kick ass new years eve celebration in Nelson. I'm going down and doing a little story with pictures. Look out for it. I am hanging out to see degrees k again...it has been too long....

sounds fukin aweosme. If only I could afford to catch the ferry...

Elmo you could go busking for a few days and get some pennies together.

don't u get royalties for the ep???

u can get a makeshift band together, my m8s made $200 in bout 4-5 hrs last week, keep playing till u get enough for a boat fare, do the same at cusp and ur laid!!! (metaphorically)

don't andoru have a boat he got to wgtn in???? u could start now and row to nelson???

degrees k
pacifier
orkid
betchadupa (again)
trinity roots
nathan and the muntaz (heard some good things, and with a name like that..... jeeeez im curioso)
stardrunk
motherguru
the datsuns
nesian mystic

can't think of any more at this stage. man, nelson is the shit :)

i don't care who's playing. I'm coming cause i love to watch unsigned bands who have passion. I'd still come if it was 10 nelson bands i'd never heard of. Nelson is a nice place to spend new years.

youre so supportive blink.

//i love to watch unsigned bands who have passion

youll be showing up at the rockquests around the country next year then?

ha,ha..nice..

I would love to see:
Sabiani
Bleakhouse (yeah its my brothers band, im not bias!)
Pacifier
Paselode
Betchadupa
Orkid
Sleater Kinney (iv'e never heard them dammit)
Che Fu
MY OWN CRAPPY BAND!
any other good stuff i guess.

how do you know of Sabiani? And by the way they broke up ages ago.

a reunion show dude. Nah when did they break up??
They went to my school. Ha, the singer was my maths teachers son.

They went to mine as well. Speaking of a renunion show Sabiani got together to play at College Rock Charts after months of not playing together. I'm not sure if its true but according to their bass player he said they weren't going with the band anymore and he went to join Ample Cleavage.

Burnside??!!

You said it

You still go there? and if so, what division you in man??

Last year was my last year there. i was in North the years b4. What 'bout u?

west

cool, west is way better than north. Are you 6th form this year?

ok...
changing my list of who i'd like to see at cusp "04"
i went down there had a whirl of a time and my opinions have changed entirely since then

two lane blacktop
ejector
clowndog
mother guru
1QA
marystaple
the shinning path
minuit (sorry if i spelt it wrong)

and so other bands, the thing i loved about cusp was i was shown so much music i'd never heard before... part of the fun was just goin up, not knowing what was coming next... and loving it!!!

cusp rocks im goin there again next year :)
stuff BDO

Well i might as well make a list to:

Pacifier
Permafrost
1QA
Lucid 3
The Brunettes

I just got back from down south yesterday. I went to the Cusp which i thought was chioce etc.

I was soo impressed with that band that played earlier on in the day. im pretty sure they were 1QA (the band with the singer on bass)

I reckon if they keep it up they will be huge by the end of the year most likely earlier.

can someone tell me which city they are from please

//(the band with the singer on bass)
Has anyone noticed a bit of a trend toward bass players that sing? (or singers that play bass)
The Datsuns, The Brunettes, Fang, SJD band, Mightyscoop...

1QA hail from Wellington...definitely one of my favourite bands at The Cusp also!!!
