Go West
02.03.10
This week signals the start for many of their academic year in our countries Universities and other tertiary institutions. Most hold some form of Orientation festivities for their new and returning students which generally feature local bands - if you're studying make the most of the activities on your campus before your workload kicks in.
For those of you who aren't studying you may like to check your nearest campus (or entertainment guide) to see if any of the events are also open to the public, many are, as there are some great gigs on offer.
The Phoenix Foundation are shooting a video this weekend in Wellington and need extras! email felicitydonaldson@hotmail.com if you're keen. Some long haired dudes would be cool apparently.
We head out to West Auckland for today's featured release;
Yebiisu - West Coast
In 2009, with thundering tribal drums, growly bass riffs and majestic horns lines, Yebiisu brought their unique style of dub-hop to New Zealand.
Now in 2010 this 8 piece band are taking their music to the world, starting with their first release, West Coast. The song was mixed by Stu Bainbridge and mastered by Chris Chetland from Kog.
The music reflects upon the lives, experiences and dreams of the band members and their 'home' the beautiful Waitakere Ranges of West Auckland.
