Just so we are all signing from the same Hymn book, let me state where i am comming from: I am a thirty year old white women who is involved ( as producer) woth a recording studio. No we dont do music we di film sound tracks.

Now to what I want to say.

NZ get off your arse and show some guts!!!!!!
I am an Aussie but have lived here for the last 4 years and I am so shocked at the support you show to your local music. You should climb into a hole and pull th earth over you head.

Here are some statments: I have toured the world. The best muso's live in NZ. I have been to some of the biggest concerts ever and yet i have been moved more by kiwi music than any other.

You guys have the best there is, but do you support it???? No!!!!

Stop snaffling on about selling out, nz on air and all the rest and start putting you money where your mouth is and support this amazing talent that you have here. Go and see them gig.

I flew down to Nelson on Friday morning to se a band that i have faith in. They were in rockquest until two weeks ago. Kids really. But they missed out on selection. then i read that they are playing in support of those who have gone thru. And I thought any band that can put that sort o diss behind them and perform qualifies for me to spend $600.00 to go and see them (for the first time).

I am talking about The Housewives. Anfd man! if it had cost $1000 I would not have been dissapointed. I arrived and saw not just the Housewives, but, falter, Monkey puzzler and Somerset!!!!!!!

hre is where I am at I love NZ I love being here, but shit, you guys suck when it comes to supporting you supe talent! Only the support of the fans will get the pub circuit going again!

Letr's get there and do it. Big Up Kiwi music!!! Not Rap and Beebop, immitations of America. but good Kiwi Rock!!!
