Our Musicial Team Part 2
A couple of issues ago, we told you about the musical projects members of the muzic.net.nz team are involved in. Since then, we have had two new members join our team and today we'd like to tell you about their musical projects.
Jason McIver plays guitar and sings lead vocals for Auckland band Heathen Eyes. Heathen Eyes formed in 2010, quickly cutting a 5 track demo which received nationwide airplay. They were placed second in the 2011 NZ leg of the Global Battle Of The Bands.
They are currently in pre-production before recording their first official EP for release. You can read the review of their single Ocea here.
Jess Reeves is the bassist for Auckland band Blackleaf Gardens. Blackleaf Gardens are a four piece experimental/progressive metal band which bring crushing riffs, groovy tunes and chaotically progressive rhythmic sounds together with catchy bipolar vocals delivering screams to lullabies.
Winners of The Flat FM K.I.L.L competition in 2012 and grand finalists of the Battle of the Bands in 2013, Blackleaf Gardens' debut album is due for release in November 2013. Jess was interviewed for Blackleaf Gardens in September 2012, and you can read the interview here.
