Happy New Zealand music month!

Have you heard any great NZ music lately? If so, comment below and let us know – it’s great to find new local bands.

Have a look at http://www.nzmusicmonth.co.nz and see what’s going on this month and get out there and support NZ music.

I have found some great NZ tunes by listening here.

I’m looking forward to hearing the Christchurch band “Troika” soon with their new band member on keys – I was unfortunately out of town for their last gig.

Also, just following NZ music month I’m very keen to see Blacklistt on their “From the Blind Spot” tour at the Bedford on Saturday 2nd June. Hope to see you there!

What are BSS up to? We are getting our set gig-ready with Ryan on drums and writing some new songs too. The songs are sounding great and some are evolving a bit as well. If any Christchurch bands are looking for support at upcoming gigs we would be happy to help out. Otherwise we will see you on stage soon with our full set and maybe a few new tracks!
