I'm a female, jazz, blues vocalist who's played some reasonably well-paid gigs in Auckland. I have access to excellent but very busy session musicians. I'm looking for a competent, confident collaborator who can play keys like it's good sex. I quit piano lessons too soon so I need to find the right person who can help translate and improve the songs in my head in to something other people can actually hear.
Paid gigs practically guaranteed if it all works out nicely.
That's brooding actually. But come to think of it, brooding only works if it doesn't equal out and out self-centred dick-head.
I think I chose my lover for his Mister Darcy qualities, actually, more to the point, Colin Firth playing Mister Darcy. Dear God - a broading gent with rough edges. Sexy Ugly
New Years is always such an anti-climax. This year, I said to myself I'm going to the local to see a gig and have a barbie - good old, low-key fun. No great expectations but Pluto was fantastic - stole the show as far as raucous New Year vibe goes. Not a bad way to see in 2004. The only weirdness was being unmasked by a nzmusic.comer.
Don't you just love it when we get personal!??? Remember that old trick - ignore it and it might go away?
Here Here Hollis! And by the way...what have you done with my lemonde???
Len o??? Is this person REALLY pitching the musicality of ELEMENOP against Pluto? God help us!!!
Len o obviously claims to be an expert in the field. Does he/she/it realise that even the elemenop members don't take their music that seriously. Granted Justin in particular has massively impressive credentials as a musician, but they're totally aware and braizenly unconcerned that they make popcorn for the poulous.
Sure - Milan's words aren't always clear, but you can't beat his vocal freedom, the musical arrangement and that goddamn fantastic rhythm section!
Was Hollis actually here? And who is spacehollis? Is it the same creature? If it is you Hollis. We miss your attitude.

Red Wine. So much mythology surrounding it and I feel like I'm savouring history just sipping it.
Port is another favourite - another sipper drink. They both give me migraines but are warm, mellow drops.
Any one ever heard of Buddy Rich? Before the guitar became so important, some drumemrs were actually put front and centre stage. The drumming was a big part of the show. Of course, they did more than just carry a beat. Poor bastards these days are lucky to get royalties and lug more gear. Is that why we call them stupid? Or is it just the fact that the drum dates back to the neanderthal days? Depends which way we look at it. Do we call drumemrs "the original musicians" or "the least evolved"? Of course, I happen to be in love with a drummer who happens to have a Psychology degree, so maybe I'm biased.
Ah yes....the rock n roll wedding...we'll be singing raucously around the grand piano thinking of you smirking whilst we butcher one of your favourite songs.
So do you just approach people and say "Hey, you look like the icon with the bunches...you must be her."??? I may have met NZMers without even knowing it!!! It might have been some arsehole in a bar pinching my arse or the girl that asked me to pass her some toilet paper under the door. Oh my God! I might have seen one of your arms!
It's so bizarre that we've created pseudo celebrities out of ourselves because we haven't the first clue about each other. The musos aren't the only stars on this here web site. What happens when you meet an NZMer who's given you attitude on line? Is it really uncomfortable?
Pluto at Galatos Basement...mmmmmmm....soooo good. Pretty rare that you experience a band that makes you wanna break, things, have sex and fall in love all in the space of an hour. Let's post them international like anthrax!

Hi Piano Chris.
Sorry it took ages to get back - holiday etc. I do originals mainly, with a few covers thrown in for the hand that feeds. Be good to get together for a chat. How do we contact eachother without the entire site learning our phone numbers?
