    Super Narco Man: Near Kill Experience

     Not sure what they’re putting in the water up there in Tauranga, but it’s sure working.

    Ty Tuesdays: Feel

    Ty weaves his magic into Wand for a stomping rendition of Feel. King Tuff lurks in awe in the background and the Woods Stage throng is held captive by Cory and Ty’s riff-raffery and overdriven fret fuckery. To really feel this, put on the headphones and chew on the bass.

    The Breeders Are Back

    The band who wrote one of the best songs ever amongst a host of great songs are back and sounding as fresh as a band who hasn’t played together for decades can sound. No matter how fucked up they may be or have been, the Deal sisters can still lay down a groove for an…
