About the bands:
THE RUBY SUNS
Indie-pop darlings The Ruby
Suns have been making more than a splash overseas. Signed to
Sub Pop records (Nirvana, Fleet Foxes, The Shins), Ryan
McPhun and his Ruby Suns now spend a fair whack of the year
touring the United States and Europe. Their latest album,
Sea Lion, has garnered international critical acclaim. Catch
them before they head off back to the States in
September.

BRAND
NEW MATH
Brand New Math are an alt-pop 4 piece
bubbling with the energy and excitement of an attention
seeking 4-year-old armed with a pot and a wooden spoon.
Utilizing gang harmonies, synthesizer stabs and samples, as
well as anything else at hand, they add new elements that
take them away from the usual indie guitar pop formula,
creating a unique and addictive
sound.

STREET
CHANT
One of the most exciting new bands to come out
of Auckland's K' Rd underground scene, Street Chant
(formerly Mean Street) have achieved a reputation for their
additively tight and fast live show. Already familiar with
the bFM Top Ten, they are working with producer Bob Frisbee
to capture that live energy in their debut album. Expect to
hear much more from them this year.

PANTHER
AND THE ZOO
Unashamed pop through and through, Graham
Panther's Zoo has gone through a few incarnations. Their
debut EP featured the talents of an array of NZ and
international musicians. The band now tours as a 3 piece,
and is recording their debut album with an anticipated
late-2009 release.
