Kiwi Living in the UK? |
She's Alllliiiiiiiivvvveee! Posted on 07 Sep 2008 Folks - contrary to popular belief, I am still in the land of the living. I've just been enduring the worst kind of computer problems known to man. The last few months the computer I had basically wasn't working (it was taking 15 minutes+ just to load up, what?!), and alas, what with life getting very busy with things and a complete lack of funds, I wasn't able to send it off to be fixed until the other week, whereupon it ended up (and this is a direct quote) "fried" when just trying to install some new RAM. Oh dear, oh dear.

So, as I still had no funds to speak of, I had to do some major research into what could be done next, and it turns out PC World do a lovely renting option so I have plumped for that, and with any luck my new laptop (a Macbook Air, whee!) costing only £40 a month will be with me next Thursday. It may yet still be a few weeks until I can get back to grips with everthing, but rest assured I shall do as soon as possible. Take care :)
Right, back to that big sweep I was doing last time. I didn't mean to leave it so long, last week just got really busy for some reason. Oh, talking of last week, I was down in Edinburgh to see Hollie Smith. Totally fabulous stuff, her voice is so gorgeous. Her music does, really, have that NZ vibe to it, made me want to go back so bad (must get saving!).
So, until I can fly from these shores, I suppose I should up the time listing up some gigs... Minuit (UK, Holland, Hungary, USA), Adi Dick (UK), Liam Finn (UK, Ireland, loadsa USA, Canada), Rodney Fisher (UK), Simon Flower (Australia, France, Russia), Leigh Franklin (UK), Brooke Fraser (USA, Canada), The Greenmatics (Australia), Tim Guy (Spain), Katbite (Holland, Belguim) and Little Pictures (Australia).
Lunch break! Will be back. ;)
ETA: Ok, back again. (I had muesli, oatcakes & strawberry yoghurt if you must know). Jayson Norris (UK). [...argh, why is my computer freezing up on moi? Must reboot. Will be back. Again.]
ETA2: Third Time Lucky? Over The Atlantic (USA), Pitch Black (Australia, UK, Holland, Poland), Pumice (UK, Ireland, France, Germany, USA), The Rabble (UK). Right, that's it for today, just one last thing to leave you with...
Talking of Hollie Smith. Video! http://youtube.com/watch?v=PU5qMF5v8Q8
Well, it's sleeting outside, seems like a nice day to snuggle down and list up some gigs. Hollie Smith (Switzerland, France), Lawrence Arabia (UK, Holland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal), Freq Nasty (UK), The Fluids (UK), Ghost Club (UK), Lisa Crawley (UK), Concord Dawn (Italy, Russia, USA, Czech Republic, Belgium), Mana3 (India) and Opshop (Holland).
Back from my lunch (veg omlette yum), and got a few more dates to list up... The Twitch (Australia), Die! Die! Die! (UK), The Brunettes (UK, USA, Belgium, Germany), Flight Of The Conchords (USA), Moana Maniapoto (Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Poland), The Thin Men (UK), A Band Called Dave (UK), Leila Adu (UK, Italy), Antagonist (Australia), Audiac (Australia), Rietta Austin (UK, Dubai), Bachelorette (USA) and Bulletproof (UK, Holland, Romania, Serbia, Spain). Whew! That's it for today, my computer's packing up on me so I suppose it's a sign to go do something else. Kia Kaha!
Well, it's been pretty quiet around here on the gig front, although I've been like a little worker bee backstage bringing together lots of fun stuff for the site... all in good time though. ;)
So, lets see who's out on the road in the coming months... Flight of the Conchords (USA), Crowded House (USA, Canada, Spain), Midnight Youth (USA), Little Pictures (Australia), Die! Die! Die! (UK, USA, Canada), Cherry's Gemstones (Australia) omigod, I flipping lurve Cherry's Gemstones! So glad to see them making waves overseas, and that also goes for Charlie ASH (Australia)... with any luck the two of them will head over to the UK sometime. Seriously, if they were playing anywhere in Europe I would try and get down to see them lovethemsomuch!
Also shows on the go for Cut Off Your Hands (UK, Australia), Urbantramper (UK).
Just a few dates seeping through for Minuit (UK), The Black Seeds (UK) and Scribe (UK)... no doubt they'll have more shows up their sleeves, I'm just waiting for them to be announced.
