Dirty Pixels - EP Review: Spacesuit
26 Jun 2017 // A review by tonymcdonald
Have you ever imagined MGMT mixed with some Beach boys, then meeting Weezer to beef things up a little?
Well here you have it and it is frickin awesome. I am always looking for new bands and this ticks all the boxes.
The whole Spacesuit EP is upbeat with a happy, almost dreamy summer feel with great tunes. Indie rock perhaps would be a suitable genre if you need a pigeonhole.
The song Spacesuit is my favourite track on this short 4 track EP, however Rhetorical Baby is a close second.
Throwing another band reference at you is The Pixies who could easily have written and performed track 3 You Took My Mind. It’s a little more spacey though rather than the dirty raw sound of the Pixies.
Funky bass lines and rums throughout are a key feature as are the jangly guitars with an overtone of 80’s synth thrown in for good measure. The floaty vocals fit beautifully. Nice work guys.
Please check them out on Facebook.

In the sweaty snake pit that is Valhalla I was ordering a Fireball when two feet appeared next to me at the bar. Looking up I discover it’s the one and only Jared from Dead Favours.

27 Feb 2021 // by tonymcdonald
New Zealand’s very own Blink 182, Elemeno P, with support from Fruit Juice Parade and Valentina hit San Fran, on a fantastic warm Wellington evening. It was packed out; beers were flowing, and the sticky smell of the low-ceilinged venue was absolutely buzzing.

Gig Review: Devilskin with Shepherds Reign @ San Fran, Wellington - 08/10/2020
11 Oct 2020 // by tonymcdonald
Even during a period of uncertainty in New Zealand with Covid-19, Devilskin and support act Shepherds Reign managed to fill San Francisco Bath House in Wellington. In fact, I have not seen a queue outside on the street for quite some time.

Album Review: MudBelly
20 May 2020 // by tonymcdonald
I'm glad we are on lockdown, as its time to really put my speakers to the test and turn them up loud (but not too loud, my health & safety hat is on).MudBelly (what a great name) are fairly new, but this debut album will ensure that they are going to be well-known from now on!
