TV ONE’s music video show HUM returns from Saturday 04 September. Presented by Francesca Rudkin, the hour-long episodes will air at 10.30pm.
HUM is aimed at people who have an interest in music but find it hard to keep up with the ever-changing musical landscape.
Producer Michael Higgins says, “The show will be the equivalent of the dedicated music fan who compiles mix CDs for their friends – and a guide for people keen to hear new music but who don’t know where to start when they walk into a record shop”.
Every Saturday night HUM will present a capsule-sized instalment of the latest releases from the cutting edge of contemporary music - and some old favourites.
HUM will draw a lot of its music from the less mainstream end of the spectrum – and it will appeal to an audience who know that they like acts such as REM, Goldenhorse and the White Stripes but who are also interested in other genres like alternative country and electronica.
The first series of HUM featured music from overseas acts including Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello and the Chemical Brothers, and locals Pluto, SJD, The Chills, Concord Dawn and Nathan Haines.
Once again HUM has received part of its funding from NZ On Air and local artists will provide half of the show’s play list. For this series, HUM will be recording performances by a number of local acts.
