steph_j : 13 November 2006 - 3:01am

Just a message to let everyone know that Fraser is back to booking gigs at Bar Bodega. Tane has moved on.
Some of you will be very familiar with Fraser, for those who are not: Fraser has been with Bodega for 15years and is the owner/licencee of the bar, he has been involved in establishing much of the Kiwi music scene over the years.
It is a pleasure to see him back in THE CHAIR.
Send him a message to welcome him back or to query gig availablity or venue hire at bar@bodega.co.nz, alternatively you can contact me via the myspace site.

Big cheers to the Fraise

Its not usually like me to take it upon myself to get worked up over a band article. But it actually made me feel pretty grim...if he wants to talk to his mates about stuff like that...sweet, but bloody hell....as a bands claim to fame. Grim. Gave me the shivers.

Has anyone read this weeks Tourist interview in the Groove Guide. What do you think?
I'm quite disgusted and disappointed.
Keen to hear other peoples views on it because it was seriously NOT COOL

After recent success at the Handle the Jandle Awards, winning the cinematography award for Send in The Clones, Battle Circus will be playing at Bar Bodega this Saturday the 21st of October.

Starting 10pm sharp with This City Sunrise - one of the most promising new acts I have seen in a long time and possibly my favourite band in Wellington aside from Thought Creature and Percy Feral...of course.

The Evils - Quirky band fronted by James Goldsmith, most bands who have performed at the San Fran Bathhouse, or when it was called Indigo, will be familiar with James as he probably did your sound! Heres your chance to see him in "action" ON the stage.

Percy Feral - A good dose of good old fashioned Rock and Roll with a twist of Acid Lounge, a sprinkle of Glam and a large lashing of Grunge.

Come along! Bodega is showing the rugby also so if you're a fan, come see the rugby and stay for the gig!

Thats awesome. Chatted to Willy today about it, really excited to hear it!!

steph_j : 12 September 2006 - 1:37am

Finding it hard to find contact details for any bands from Tauranga, I am doing a well advertised tour of the north island, playing with high profile-ish bands in Auckland. The 28th of September needs to be filled and I'm hoping to have this as a light, fun, houseparty with lots of crazyness. If you're in a band in Tauranga and would like to know more leave you're email address and I'll email you right away.

steph_j : 11 April 2006 - 4:22pm

For sure, I have a few bands that I can recommend, send me an email at tightpants.nz@gmail.com and take it from there or checkout the link below and find me on myspace

steph_j : 11 April 2006 - 4:14pm

Sorry the bands name is "In it for the money"

steph_j : 11 April 2006 - 4:12pm

As if Disasteradio wasn't cool enough, this is GREAT! I was at Bodega the other day and I was really surprised to hear downstairs this brilliant electro stuff, the band was In in for the money, me and the bartender were gobsmacked, I don't think I've ever found a use for that word until now. Unfortunately there were about 6 people in the audience, we all got a copy of their great EP, Burnt Orange. But anyway, has anyone heard of them before? They would be brilliant in a gig with Disasteradio, both acts have that effect on me. I don't know, I think it was the guys killer wig that got me in the end!!!!

steph_j : 20 March 2006 - 2:20pm

I want people to track me down and practice on me for April Fools Day, the point is that if the trick is a good one and I like it (I mean don't hurt me!!!) then I'll give you tickets to a wee gig that I have running @ the San Francisco Bathhouse (AKA Indigo).
Running between the 25th of March and midday on the 1st of April and including partner in crime Shane Forge. To view a poster and details of our whereabouts click the link at the bottom!!!!

//Oh and Tane, I hope it wasn't you that asked Lou Barlow for $25 doorcharge when he turned up to play at Bodega, as reported in todays paper.

I don't think it was Tane but good on the door man for doing his job! Its hard sometimes, everyones got an excuse, I'm sure if it did happen Lou found it funny anyway! Good story

steph_j : 14 March 2006 - 12:03pm

Haha. Shameless. Did I mention Seamus from Elston Gun....aren't they playing on Friday with Percy Feral and Mad Max, what a wicked lineup, I wish I could go. Thanks for the fish n chips (pizza), pity it took TWO HOURS!!

steph_j : 12 March 2006 - 5:47pm

You don't make sense. Perhaps we should have fish and chips sometime. Perhaps tomorrow at 8. I heard its the Listening Post on at Bar Bodega!!!!

steph_j : 12 March 2006 - 5:45pm

I manage a few bands in Wellington and have close relationships with alot of others, send me an email and we can discuss options if you like. I also do some bookings for Bar Bodega especially Room 101.

At least you know how to pour a beer now Tane!!!!! Now, lets get onto stealing customers...its not on really you really need to pull your head in in that department. Perhaps Adam could give you a tutorial, perhaps over a steak and oyster pie.

steph_j : 6 March 2006 - 1:38pm

james mcleay, you're a dick

steph_j : 6 March 2006 - 1:37pm

CHUR!!!

steph_j : 6 March 2006 - 1:36pm

Its helpful if people aren't total wankers on it like instinct. Its a shame you suffered through so much abuse, but do you not realise that by talking how you do you are abusing other people. Isn't being a hypicrite also a form of being weak, or how you put it being a pussy?
