Highlight or Twink it

If you could promote to death (not literally) one NZ band, singer or musician on the international stage, who would it be?

Likewise, if you could Twink out (literally) one NZ band, singer or musician who would it be?

Forums: NZ Music,

i would highlight the mint chicks and blot out kitsch.

I would highlight Pluto and there are too many that should be gone. i'd start with the feelers, and those one hit wonders voom.

RUBICON! THEY"RE GONE!

holy shit- ¿have we had a hit?- ¿why didn't anyone tell me?- ¿where's my big fat royalty cheque?

twink out voom? sort it out cock.

voom>pluto*100

relax guys- he's just shittin ya- trying to get a reaction

Either Way, Voom Stiil own Pruto

after watching space last nite i'd have to say: see ya later two lane blacktop

yeah, that was utter crap

Are any bands ever really good on Space?
Think of the lighting, sound, camerawork and lack of audience. I don't think many bands would ever seem outstandingly good in the Space format, some things (like music and comedy) just don't translate well onto TV - certain types of music especially. I think TLBT are probably a probably a band you'd have to see live to fully appriciate. Any comments from those who have seen them live?

haven't seen them in a while but they are tight.
Definitely a good live band.

agreed, you never judge a band by the internet, i mean batrider were shit on good morning but they rocked everyones socks off live in orkland...

rokane, name some bands who have come off well (in your eyes) off space

i'd have to say they are amazing live. saw them on thursday night, and they were really really really good :)

sorry re-phrase that before anyone else does internet in that context meant TV

yeh well im a wellintonian and seen them from there first few gigs and they are a great live band

it's hard to come across as being a really wicked live band when you are on space - the mix can be unpredictable and if you have ever been into the studio where it is filmed then you would probably understand how difficult it is to play well there...good on people who can tho, extra special talent...as for TLBT, I saw them last week...they were wicked.

i have seen more than one band live who on space did match up.......... rather disappointing really.

I'm not very familiar with TLBT as they are a bit too rocky for my liking but anyways I didn't think there was anything wrong with there performance. And the other time they played they weren't bad either. They don't get the twink out from me either way.

id highlight elemeno p, laconic (phat as tauranga band) and stylus...........id twink rubicon (theyre songs are pointless and irritating, theyre only good one is energy levels which doesnt have paul singing it) and nesian mystik, all of theyre songs sound the same and are bashed too much

oops missed the most important band ever.......i wanna highlight 48May....they rock

Cool. So what you're saying is that you want NZ music to sound just like American power-pop. Just what the world needs more of, I'm sure.

Dumbass.

out of the ones i mentioned only elemeno p could be classed as pop (kinda) and they hardly sound american quality. what makes u think id want american power-pop on our shores anyway?? who would u want to see more of

Kareoke.

i would highlight The Hot Grits, Goldenhorse and Ben King and twink Elemeno P, Deep Obsession and anyone who enters NZ Idol

deep obsession are twinked dude/ette, and your'e only allowed one of each, im telling mummy.
keep carly tococockkas, twink all the 'the' bands. then chop chop chop...DONE!

I would highlight Cripple Mr. Onion and Jakob (Although I don't want uncool people to start liking them...)

There are too many to twink.

uncool people?

That's a wierd thing to say

I just don't want to see either of those bands on Most Wanted.

So you don't want them to enjoy any success?

yeah that's pretty uncool in itself

I think I've dug myself a hole.
Um. I think I'll live down here.
I was in two different states of mind when I did the above posts, the first one I was assuming the role of being a music snob and by the time the second post came around I felt I had to justify myself.
I know I don't have a right to choose who likes these bands.

i hope all these small independent bands go on most wanted. People need their musical tastes broadened.

You'll never fight tha (lol) big labels domination of the music industry with that attitude

the upside would be that most wanted would be more interesting, not being the same old shit and all

I think if one independant band went on Most Wanted, they'd be sell-outs and would probably end up fading into obscurity (maybe...). But if a big group of bands started getting play on Most Wanted it would definatly make it more exciting to watch. One band can't change Most Wanted. But lots of bands combining can.

Highlight Chris Knox and HDU

Twink off the face of the earth Shihad/Pacifier

Sorry folks!!!

highlight minisnap
twink fur patrol

call of the day/gay/day

Although the *international* stage part seems to be ignored...

Highlight 1QA... then go over it agin to make sure its properly done.

Twink out... hmmm... The brunnettes. Sorry, but i just dont understand them. Wicked music vids though.

haha..i don't really like the brunettes eiter....i think their plan of kooky 60's style pop is cool, but sadly, they're going about it all wrong.....

highlight this night creeps

twink out brubeck.... (i'm geting really sick of them now)

http://www.mp3.com.au ]

i thoguth the brunettes first album was cool. The pathetic "issues" based Boy Racer EP warrants more then just twink.... perhaps BOILING twink?

highlight : 1qa, autozamm and batrider

and theres far too many to twink.

Highlight 1QA.

//after watching space last nite i'd have to say: see ya later two lane blacktop

Agreed.

Didn't see 2 lane black top on space but I like them.

Jay you are a penis with that link

Cheers, person whom I do not know, and who does not know me. Your critical judgement of my slaved over website has left me feeling as though a hot dagger has been stabbed through my heart.

Now this is ironic, perhaps that 'dagger like pain' you are feeling is the same pain bands feel when people cut them and their music down with unconstructive brainless topics like this one. Wake up 'Jay' it doesnt matter if these people dont know you, I mean you have just agreed that Two Lane Black Top should be 'twinked out' yourself, do you know them? does it matter?
tut tut 'you shouldnt throw stones'.

sarcasm

/Sar"casm/, n. [F. sarcasme, L. sarcasmus, Gr. sarkasmo`s, from sarka`zein to tear flesh like dogs, to bite the lips in rage, to speak bitterly, to sneer, fr. sa`rx, sa`rkos, flesh.] A keen, reproachful expression; a satirical remark uttered with some degree of scorn or contempt; a taunt; a gibe; a cutting jest.

The point here being I wasn't really hurt at all by Ronalds remark. Bands shouldn't be hurt by remarks on this site, but take them with a grain of salt.

Granted, I didn't give a reason for wanting twink out TLBT. I use to like them. But I'm bored. Gimme something new.

'Emm' - I'm sure there are some bands you'd want to twink out. Stop acting the pacifist. We're not here to all feel the same.

2 lane blacktop sucked on space anyways :P

I would highlight orkid coz the're very good.
I would twink The Peter Styvesant Hit List because the drummer he... he kinda...
He did bad things....
