Elemeno P - Elemeno P – Elemeno P
16 Sep 2008 // A review by JohnS
The long awaited self-titled third album from New Zealand’s own Elemeno P has not disappointed one bit. From the Debut release of Baby come on which has been used for a very clever Telecom add showing Friday night drinks, to the third single Better Days with the video set at the bowling club in Grey Lynn they have made me proud to be a supporter of Kiwi music.
A cunning ploy was used to release this album with the band deciding to place a song from the album on their Myspace page each day starting from the 19 May 2008 through to Sunday 25th may 2008 for fans to listen to, so by the time of the album being released on Monday the 26th May, you could have heard the whole album. Also as a hidden bonus you can also download the bonus track, Yesterday.
The music heard has definitely matured from their previous releases but fan reactions to the album have been good.
Buy the album. It’s well worth it.

About Elemeno P
Their debut album, Love & Disrespect (2003), shot to #1 on the NZ album charts, achieving triple-platinum status. Two more albums followed, earning Platinum and Gold certifications, and solidifying their legacy. Along the way, Elemeno P took home Best Group at the NZ Music Awards and received a prestigious APRA Silver Scrolls finalist nod for their 2008 hit Baby Come On.
Fronted by the charismatic Dave Gibson, alongside Scotty Pearson, Justyn Pilbrow, and Lani Purkis, Elemeno P’s influence on Kiwi rock remains undeniable. Following their triumphant return to touring in 2023/2024, the band continues to captivate audiences with their timeless anthems and infectious energy as they gear up for more in 2025.

School holidays for my family almost always involve a decent amount of time traveling via the car and I always use this time to introduce my boys to new music to expand their every growing playlists on their MP3 players.

Nervous Doll Dancing - Eidolon - Album Review
09 Sep 2012 // by JohnS
Nervous Doll Dancing is a new name to me, which came as a surprise. I consider myself to have an above average knowledge of kiwi musicians and I’m always a little taken back when I haven’t heard of someone who is this talented before.

It’s hard not to pick an album and solo judge the music inside by its cover. It’s the whole basis of trying something new, Do you like the look of them, are they wearing the latest fashions or even the classic do I know that guy?
