Back in the day "The Gathering" as the new age 15yr old Eurotrash/Pop wanna be ravers like to call it, was formaly know as N'Tr...ai..n....Damn I forgot my friend told me 3 days ago....fuck'n short term memory.... any way back then 1-2 days before this wonderfull event on top of the hill (not 30km on the other side) the main street of the town thats more like a rest home for hippies (Motueka) would be full of slow moving diesil power house trucks and bedford vans, this year every boy-racer from the South Is made there way up here expecting the petrol to be cheap and keg partys to be in abundance, don't they know every 4th person you meet on a friday is a farmer of some sort.
Where have all the hippies gone?
I believe later on in the afternoon of new years day after the stall had been shifted to a more
Un-noticeable but still profitable spot, the organisers say, "we have found and evicted him" then "the gathering does not condone the use of drugs". I suppose the police weren’t to worried about crushed glass, white sprits or phamalderhide* in this year’s batch of pills.
I saw in the paper a lovely picture of the trance zone with two people sparking up, a bunch of 40+ lawyers and accountants trying to be part of a new revolution and some bogan in tight black jeans and a holey black t-shirt trying to find where he left his groove, if he ever had one. So I wonder what will go down at next years?
More incidents like that one will do wonders for tourism market all over the country.
*Heard a few rumours about some of the shit that has been found in some batch’s of Ecstasy any true?
It's more like a police oppressive in this area, the latest event was one of an early morning new years day booking at a local BYO restaurant where two tourists had a bottle of wine in a shopping bag and were pondering the menu and along came a member of the local volunteer police department and ask the lady to open the bag, on finding the bottle of wine put her in hand-cuffs and took her down to the police station where she was not charged.
Also some guy had a small business of testing the strength and quality of the Methylenedioxy-methamphetamine you just happen to have in your pocket (The stuff that is popular with a wide range of clubbers and the US Army as a truth serum in the '50s) the Gathering management denied all knowledge that he even had his stall on site but the police kindly asked him to take it else where...Vision perhaps.
How obvious was the undercover police this year at the gathering?
Is it even possible to split a tab into 7, I didn't go this year because I was on a yacht with 3 mates and 5 lovely women. we wached fights on the beach, a hill catch on fire as a result from a signal flare and the local law enforcement trying to enforce the ban on drinking in public. John Dickweed was employed for his international superstar number one DJ skills for a reasonable $75,000 for 4 hours* the only thing lacking at vision around the corner was enough porta'loo's and one of the major events I belive was when a number of cows escaped through an open gate.
That sums up the top of the south new years gigs any other in NZ?
Doctor O its harvest season soon in this area, some good deals going.
*Suposing he played for 4 hours? Don't know if he did.
I supose the "Gathering" is still a global top 10 dance party, I was talking to the boss (Murray) and he said they had a turn out of about 6500 and that they don't know if they came out on top. But the Gathering itself has changed so much in the last 4 years for better or for worse I don't know but 4 years ago it was mainly hippies and their bus's so you would be in the tribal zone, then someone hands you a splif so you just pass it to the left, now you've got boy racers and flash cars just dinking piss, Then there is Vision that picked up about 3000 people around the corner out Collingwood somewhere, its in the same stage the gathering was 4 years ago but they don't have resource consent yet.
So take your pick.
Bless You jimi
I'm an athiest, but one day they will be all gone (Religions) wether thats a good or bad thing who knows?, but any way I think christmas is just another game for big business's to play, many business's cash in on this day and thats very wrong.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the NZMUSIC.com team
and everybody else of course!
I thought this was the "Fellowship Of The Ring - Comments" I must be lost.
If anyone didn't know petrol was 10c cheaper today at all fully owned service stations (Not privately owned ones).
I reckon the argument/catfight/discussion/literarystressreleaseposts was all because of Christmas stress (ONLY 3 DAYS TO GO)
If "that wasnt the final ending" was for me, I know that theres still more to come, I was ment to say that it was a strange place to stop a movie? you know "I don't supose we will see them ever again.......its great that your with me Sam.."then the credits roll.
Great movie, Elfs can sure use their Bows professionaly, Lovely to see so much quality NZ landscape, the ending was strange but thats the way it goes.

First Physiopath has just as much right to express his/her opinion, views and anything else about RIU just as much as the next 100, 50 or 5 people, MAD DOG calling anyone who slag off Rip It Up "the stupidest bunch of fucks i've ever come across. You sound like fuckin inbred losers from MataMata" Does't have the right because if he wanted to defend RIU well he would have said the positive things about it.
There were no personal maybe I haven't read this whole forum but no where did I see "David Rose - Managing Director Satellite Media Group
is a capilist bastard or Scott Kara doesn't know what the f**k he's talking about" I'm not attacking anyone but this forum was not for people who hated you but what people hated about RIU.
Also RIP IT UP you have the right to defend your product but don't try and stop us from saying what we hate about it.
What it comes down to is peoples own perpective of the kind of mag they like, but I still don't agree with RE-MIX puting 10+ pages of useless donkey shite. They maybe good photos but I don't know who the hell the model in the photo is and what music he likes, those pages could have some more informing material.....
I didn't think Dillinja was that bad...If NZMUSIC had a mag I would be just about NZ music, theres plenty of different sfuff and it's been around, NZ music culture is as big as it ever was. Some mags (RIU, RE-MIX) preach the fact that they know what NZ music needs but really it's just so they can increase the hype for their own mag in the market.
I'm %100 in favour of a NZMUSIC mag.
"Viva la Risistance"
Is he realy......what about DJ Siren? there is always no less than 10 tinnie houses in an area with only 10,000 people, I don't you any way...
Well if you think thats bad have a look at the latest RE-MIX mag, 10+ pages of nameless people in effortless fashion. The free CDs are all good, I've never read RIU before......
(maybe NZMUSIC.com needs a mag.....unless they already have one?)
They play Nelson quite a bit....I've got their 12" dub plate record signed by them. How much would any one pay for it?
I'm new so I don't care, we can all be friends, can't we? unless someone starts talking about your mom.......after that it gets ugly.
Ummm...Doc the going rate for 1 oz. in this area is only $200 - $250, maybe Greg Churchill playing live at the Artery is better. Tickets were $30.
I live in Motueka the town south of the Takaka Hill, and working at the local Shell petrol station I see the region gets a boost every time the Gathering goes off, I wonder why the tickets are $150+, yes it is rated one of the Top 5 Dance Partys in the world and yes there are World Class people playing there. But at such a cost?
"Remote".......Is that there new name?
Maybe it has some spritual meaning that only the band knows, or that it means that there from a "remote" part of the world, or we as a band "remotely" don't give a shit about what americans think?. Its not as good as "Shihad" but hey they will still play the same........
