One Man Bannister - Moth

Moth is a CD of songs written and performed by Matthew Bannister (ex Sneaky Feelings, Dribbling Darts of Love, author of Positively George Street) over the period 2002-2006. It was put together using just a computer, a guitar and a voice at his (former) home in Sandringham, Auckland. And there's plenty more where they came from. "I've probably demoed almost a hundred songs, so these are the tip of the iceberg," he says.

Otis Mace - Bird In Bush Road
Performers of rock music come and go, but Otis plays on, a peripheral fringe figure-though he no longer inhabits the punk ghetto-a hardy perennial on the touring circuit, his trademark, edgy, semi-syncopated strum underlining his impassioned, slightly nasal, still-Canadian-accented delivery, his foot steadily tapping out a rhythmic accompaniment. "Music in New Zealand Magazine" - Article by David Eggleton. Otis will be doing a national tour throughout November with Bill Direen.
