What Was That Thing? Live Music Videos — indie

FODR (pronounced fodder) is a project from Isaac McFarlane (guitar/vocals), Kieran Ormandy (bass) and Jamie Hannah (drums).  Now split across the islands of Aotearoa FODR is embracing the intuitive philosophy of quick writing, quick recording and quick releasing - producing and performing music in concentrated bursts and using music as a great excuse for the three friends to get together in one place and have some fun. If you like tight and intelligent political post-punk that references everything from Judith Collins to Chat GPT - then this tune is for you. Recorded live in the Flying Nun Record store in Wellington.

This weeks session is by Wellington legend Terry Shore. 'The Daleks Are Coming In' is an absolute Dr Who humdinger of a sci-fi action packed earworm. Combine that with an ominous robotic Dalek chorus, a bit of Terry magic and then you've got one hell of a tune. Honestly. We are wondering, is Terry Wellington legend Aotearoa’s answer to the music of Daniel Johnston? We might be pushing the limits here - because Terry definitely has his own unique thing going on - but we detect musical hints of new wave passion and intergalactic innocence. You decide. It's worth noting,...

Bleeding Star are a young Te Whanganui-a-Tara band named after a particular song and album released by a Ōtautahi band via Flying Nun Records, in 1993. Yep, I'm sure you guessed the original band. They were named after a rather famous French existentialist. Anyway, Bleeding Star's music certainly has traces of their namesakes song and album, but with their own refreshing take.
