Feature CD / Lawrence Arabia – Chant Darling. Win It Next Week

Lawrence Arabia’s new album Chant Darling features the musical contributions of James Dansey & Daniel Ward (The Sneaks), Matt Eccles (Betchadupa), Liam Finn, Luke Buda & Sam Scott (The Phoenix Foundation), Tom Watson (Cassette), Andy Watts (Hot Grits), John White (Mestar) and various other friends. It was recorded between Nov. 2007 & Jan. 2009, in Stockholm, London, Auckland, Wellington and Port Chalmers and was produced by Milne himself.
The songs for the album were penned half and half between NZ and London, where Lawrence has been based for the past two years. The subject matter varies from the NZ space programme to naughty liaisons on Quay Street, from laziness and drinking problems amongst the shy, to sexually frustrated hipsters, drug-induced death visions, lust for teacher and a theme-in-waiting for the National Government's soon to be announced war on drugs. WIN To Chant Darling all next week at 8.15am on Breakfast.

NATURAL SELECTION – Jon Spencer w/ Oscar. This Sunday 15th March, 6 – 8pm on Radio One

After a long and semi-successful tenure as leader of scuzz-rock heroes Pussy Galore, Jon Spencer took his anti-rock vision and hooked up with guitarist Judah Bauer and drummer Russell Simins to create the skronk-blues trio the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Postmodern to the core, this is an ironic name; little of what this band plays resembles standard blues. There is, however, a blues feel to what they play, meaning that in many instances they appropriate aspects of the blues (very often clichés) and incorporate them into their anarchic, noisy sound. Not part of alternarock's commercial establishment, Spencer also managed to sharply divide critics who tended to see him as either inspired showman or mendacious con man (frankly, he's both). The Jon Spencer Natural Selection with Oscar. Sunday, 6 - 8pm, only on Radio One.

Red Bull Live Session Next Week – Sola Rosa / Thursday 19th March, 3.30pm on the Afternooner

Since 1999 Sola Rosa’s Andrew Spraggon has been tantalising listeners with otherworldly aural experiences, honing his craft and taking Sola Rosa from a self-released one man project to fully-fledged live powerhouse along the way. He’s kept good company on the road and in the studio, collaborating with members of Dimmer, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Goldenhorse, Pluto and Sommerset amongst the ranks over the years, not to mention pilfering the best members of Che Fu, King Kapisi and Anika Moa’s bands and tapping the talents of internationally renowned artists like Nathan Haines and Spikey Tee. Add to the mix a succession of highly regarded releases the world over on a slew of stunning labels that includes household names Ministry of Sound, Guidance, Different Drummer, Stereo Deluxe, and Satellite K, and you’ll see why so many eager ears and heavy-lidded eyes are always fixed to fasten on what Sola Rosa does next. Tune into the Red Bull Studio LTA next Thursday to hear Sola Rosa perform LIVE! 3.30pm on Radio One & bNet wide.
