GAYWYRE

I don’t normally do this, infact, i pretty much never do this, but there is this band in Wellington who are seriously a good time live, and they are doing an EP release show this Friday at Bodega. I didn’t think it was possible to have this much fun at a metal show, but please, if you like it heavy and if you like a goodtime (and slightly erotic), don’t miss this show! Only $5 too.

Camp A Low Hum 2009
Blair Young from Glasgow made a real sweet little edit of highlights of his time at Camp ’09, currently only on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=178502233053

Fields of Dreams
Tickets are going swell for the inaugural Fields of Dreams at Camp Wainui this NYE. They’ll all be sold out pretty soon, don’t be a typical kiwi and slack around buying tickets and be stuck at some boring pub gig on NYE, while we’re out under the stars.

Tickets are only $30 for 2 days of relaxed beauty and 2 nights of chaotic party.

It’s been a very quiet 2009 for A Low Hum, the label. The one and only CD I’ll be releasing in 2009 is coming out November 23rd and I am so proud that it’s the third album from the one and only SIGNER! His new album “Next we Bring you the Fire” I guess is best described as “pop infused lush shoegaze ambient techno”, though…just have a listen, cause that description sounds absolutely terrible. The NZ release of the album features two tracks not on the US Carpark Records release.

You can download an mp3 of the new single +kicks and kicks here: http://www.alowhum.com/free/Signer_kicksandkicks.zip

And, click on “Free MP3s” above to download another track from the album called “Languidly Toot”.

Disasteradio
D-rad is heading off in one week for his third totally self funded European tour and is having a HUGE fundraising show this Saturday at Bodega in Wellington. Two floors of party with friends Gaywyre, Reptilian Future Cops, The Postures, Cartoon, Body 125, Cult of the Cobra, Tengu and KazaamBLAM!

Bodega, Sat Nov 7th. 9pm. $10

Campus A Low Hum 2010
*^#*! Tickets have only been on sale for three weeks, and Campus is already just under HALF sold out!! It’s gonna sell out soon. Real soon. All you need to do to secure a place is put down a $50 deposit. Easy. Please don’t miss out, trust me, you’ll be hearing about how awesome Campus was for the rest of your life.
http://alowhum.com/camp-a-low-hum/enrolments/

I’ll be announcing details of some of the things you need to know in advance over the next couple of weeks, details about some of the sweet parties and some homework you can start doing over summer in preparation for term 1. Keep checking back at www.campusalh.com every week. First additional announcements this weekend.

Fields of Dreams
Fields of Dreams is happening at Camp Wainui this New Years Eve, people may recognise Camp Wainui from such events as Camp A Low Hum 2009, except this time, there are tons less people, heaps less bands and you can tent wherever you want over the huge space.

This is NOT Camp(us).This isn’t the kind of party you can come to by yourself and have heaps of fun, there aren’t tons of bands and crazy amounts of stuff to do, Fields of Dreams is created for groups of friends who want to get together out of the city and hang out in a beautiful stress free environment not packed full of idiots and maybe watch some bands, or not.

Fields of Dreams runs over two days and nights. Just roll up anytime from midday on Dec 31st. Bands won’t be on till around 9pm or so, but please come and hang out, or arrive later…whatever.

Because I imagine people will want to crash out most of Jan 1st and I’d need to pay for an extra days rental so as not to kick people out early…i figured I may as well keep the party going, so if you want to hang around for a new years day party, please do. Again, bands kicking in around 8pm, but there will be people to hang out with all day.

Basically… just bring some friends, some drinks and either entertain yourselves in this stunningly beautiful location, or hang out and watch some bands. Pretty simple.

Dec 31/Jan 1, 2010. 2 days/nights.
VERY LIMITED Tickets just $30. Click on NYE above to sort tickets.
Bunk rooms available.

OTA and LHAWKE
Long-time friends and coincidentally, both members of my old “band” – The Fantastical Blink Band, Nik (Over the Atlantic) and Pip (Ladyhawke) will be touring NZ together real soon, Pip has just dropped her new single (which name checks OTA) “Magic” and I think OTA are releasing a special digital only release to coincide with the tour as well. After the tour Nik will be going to LA to record a Psychic Powers record for US label Geographic North. (A video me and Nik made for a PP song: “Wellington”, will be on youtube soon)

Nik has also made a video for one of my fav ever Over the Atlantic songs – Jen, only avail so far on the compilation I released at Camp in ’09, but I think the track might be on the digital release EP.

Was school the best time of your life?

Was it the worst time of your life?

What if school was the most inspiring, revelatory, exciting and dreamlike period of your entire life, where amazing shit was constantly happening everywhere and your teachers were your friends and your friends were the sound of a thousand high fives.

It’s happening.

Campus A Low Hum is taking place at a historical agricultural college just outside of Bulls. Sitting unused since 1989, this incredible site features a Gymnasium, Library, Classrooms, Dorms and heaps more on a large landscaped property. The first term of Campus A Low Hum will begin soon. Will you enrol?

I have retained everything that was special about the Camp A Low Hum philosophy: intimate performances, small crowds, multiple environments, renegade performances, no band announcements, multiple performances by bands, spontaneous party action – and taken it bak 2 skool and added a whole bunch of new concepts to make it a brand new experience.

Campus A Low Hum will feature just as many amazing live music performances as you’ve come to expect (in 2009 over 100 acts played, including renegades). But Campus A Low Hum is not just about music, it’s about bringing together a whole bunch of creative ideas and interactive experiences. Anything awesome that is happening anywhere could make its way onto Campus.

And don’t worry, wagging and studying is encouraged at CALH, particularly with some sweet sand dunes and a beach only 5 minutes down the road. And you don’t need mum’s permission for the field trips.

There’s even the possibility of hooking up one of the (very limited) dorm rooms at the Campus for those who don’t want to tent it. Frat party.

CAMPUS A LOW HUM 2010
BULLS
TERM 1 – JAN 23/24/25
$200
Enrol by clicking on CALH above

As usual, if you can’t pay the full tuition now, you can just make a deposit. Also, I have a very special travel offer for those from the South Island…but you need to be QUICK!

Camp A Low Hum 2009 sold out very early and I am not increasing the allotted tickets for CALH2010 by much at all, so don’t let the dog eat your homework and miss out on the first ever term of Campus A Low Hum.

PS. If you were expecting some sort of band announcement obviously you don’t know me yet.
