Music News - Peter Jefferies Live in Wellington - 18 August 2018
16 July 2018 - 0 Comments
Peter Jefferies needs no introduction; his internationally renowned solo career followed time in Nocturnal Projections, This Kind of Punishment, Plagal Grind and more.
These days he performs infrequently so the chance to see him play is best taken. This year has seen the vinyl re-issue of classic albums by This Kind of Punishment and Nocturnal Projections, much to the delight of fans in Aotearoa and the world over.
He’s also re-issued a handful of solo records prior to this, and says he’ll be choosing stuff from across his back catalogue. “There’s quite a few songs that didn’t get played when I was down here earlier in the year with Chris and Heath”, he said, “so this will be a chance to play them. I’ll be playing some songs that people won’t have heard for years.” Jefferies’ next project is an album of singles and rarities, including new material that has never been heard before.
After arriving in Dunedin during 1993 Darryl Baser began establishing himself as a regular performer, arranging gigs with some of the cities more famous sons and daughters. baser has never played live in Wellington before. He’s been a prolific recorder of music, but not prolific at releasing it, putting out a 7” single in 1997 and a cassette in 1995 before Austrian label Zelle released his debut LP #Rawselfie in 2016. #Rawselfie was recorded in Baser’s St Kilda flat as series of live takes into a cell phone, then mastered complete with traffic noise and phone buzzes as notifications came in. He’s currently working a follow up, called #Secondselfie which is a continuation of the theme, the chorus of the title track asks, “what are your alternative facts, the truths you hide from yourself and the world?” - “I’m talking with other musicians and am planning to record four or five of the tracks with a well-known bass player and a professional drum teacher,” Baser said.
The night is being opened by Wellington’s own Mark Williams from Marineville, who’s latest LP Penguins Ate My Chips was released on Zelle and has sold out, however it’s still available on a digital download. Williams is not known as a solo performer so the chance to hear him play solo is as rare as a whale swimming in Wellington Harbour, if not more so.
