No More 08/09 Album Funds
The 2008/2009 funding year has seen a big increase in the demand for Phase Four album grants. The upside of this is that we’ve ended up funding a record 32 albums in the 2008/09 financial year. This year’s artists include Gin Wigmore, Collapsing Cities, Opensouls, Shihad, Ladi6, Midnight Youth, Sarah Brown, These Four Walls, The Exiles, Devolo, Deja Voodoo, and Smashproof among many others.
But the downside is that with two rounds to go we have run out of money for albums this financial year. So there will be no Phase Four album funding granted at either the April or June board meetings. The next opportunity to apply will be in July (deadline is Friday 10 July) for the August 2009 board meeting.
NZ Music Showcasing in LA and Texas
The Phase Five campaign hits a busy period in the next month with the annual South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. This event attracts bands from all over the world, and a healthy contingent of NZ acts are on their way Stateside.
NZ On Air and the NZ Music Commission, alongside tastemaker international radio show Passport Approved, are hosting an LA showcase on 16 March as a warm up. It’s a chance to get some industry heavy hitters tuned in to the sounds of Midnight Youth, David Dallas, Bang Bang Eche, and Pistol Youth. Then it’s on to Austin, Texas, where Cut Off Your Hands, The Brunettes, Midnight Youth, Bang Bang Eche, and Ladyhawke appear at this year’s NZ BBQ party. Look out America you are being invaded with good music this month!
