NEW ZEALAND MUSIC MONTH GIGS

With the assistance of the New Zealand Music Commission, we are proud to present a series of FREE concerts this May for your listening/partying pleasure:

MILK BAR :: ADI DICK :: 01/05/08

Adi Dick’s album, “Our Place” was one of the best releases in 2007 – a perfect blend of soul, funk, reggae and electronica, all welded together with original songs and an amazing voice. His live set is equally excellent, and it is an honour to have him open our series of events, as well as launch the new Flat White owned café, The Milk Bar at 3 Bateman Street in Soho. This event will run from 6.30 til 9pm only, and thanks go to Lion Nathan for their support.

BIG CHILL HOUSE :: JAYSON NORRIS, PRECIOUS CLARK + LEIGH FRANKLIN :: 06/05/08

Jayson Norris needs little introduction these days – he has built his fanbase on the strength of his excellent live set and catchy songs. Supporting him on the night are two up and coming London based singers – Precious Clark oozes South Pacific soul, while Leigh Franklin seems to be channeling Joni Mitchell and Rickie Lee Jones.

BIG CHILL HOUSE :: BRUCE CONLON, THE THIN MEN + DAVE :: 20/05/08

Bruce Conlon found fame as frontman for Eight, and since then has been beavering away on his debut solo album, “Audience of One”, due out in NZ this May. He is ably supported by Gothic country rockers The Thin Men, and the legendary Dave.

CARGO :: RAGAMUFFIN CHILDREN, THE O’LOVELYS + THE BASSBIN KID :: 26/05/08

Our final installment falls on the Bank Holiday Monday, so we have arranged for sunshine all day, and a Kiwi flavoured BBQ in the yard! Outdoor entertainment comes from The Bassbin Kid and his wheelie bin soundsystem, while indoors Christchurch is providing us with two up and coming talents, the folksy Ragamuffin Children and the seemingly unclassifiable O’Lovelys.

More information on all these shows, and on the acts themselves, can be found at www.spaciific.net.

**PLEASE NOTE ALL THESE GIGS ARE FREE**

*******************************************************************************************
NEW ZEALAND MUSIC MONTH T-SHIRTS

To help pay for the events above, we have been given permission to print up a very limited run of London edition NZ Music Month T-shirts. You can check out the design on the front page of www.spacific.net: they will be for sale for £15 at Flat White, 17 Berwick Street, Soho or Rough Trade, Dray Walk, off Brick Lane. They will also be on sale at all the gigs we are running in May, or if you can’t get out of the house, we can post them to you – please email kiaora@spacific.net to arrange this.

Rough Trade are also celebrating NZ Music Month by giving over one of their display stands to Kiwi music for the whole of May, thanks to the persuasive powers of Margot, who works there. So while buying a t-shirt, why not pick up some Kiwi classics as well!

*******************************************************************************************
ISLINGTON ACADEMY :: OPSHOP :: 13+14/05/08

Opshop’s debut UK single is out May 12th and is already getting some airplay, so hopefully this is just the start of their European career. Currently in the US playing some shows there, they will be touring Europe for a week, with gigs in Edinburgh, Dublin and Amsterdam booked in, so if you can’t get tickets to these London shows (there aren’t many left), then why not go on an adventure? Or at least tell your friends who live in those cities to go along! For more info, check www.myspace.com/opshop.

Tickets: £10 +b/f from Ticketweb (08700 600 100) or £15 on the door.

CLOCKWORK :: MINUIT :: 29/05/08

Tickets are flying out the door for the album launch party for Nelson’s finest breakbeat banditos, with only 40 left at the time of writing. Their northern hemispheric debut dropped yesterday, so if you don’t have any of their albums, then please pop into HMV, Zavvi or your local independent store and pick up a copy. Called, deep breath, “I went to this party and there were 88 Guards with Guns”, it collates all the best tracks from their two NZ albums, “The 88” and “The Guards Themselves”.

If you can’t make the show, and are a fan, then they will be playing on KISS FM on Tuesday 27th May at some point in the evening. Check www.minuit.co.nz for more info.

THE FORUM :: SCRIBE :: 13/06/08

In what is shaping up to be one of the shows of the year, The “Crusader” returns to London for his only European appearance this year, with thanks to welcomestranger.com for their support.

Scribble first became widely known thanks to his excellent verses on the stand out tracks of P-Money’s debut album, “”Remember?” and “Scribe 2001”. He then smashed it with his debut single, the amazing “Stand Up”, which is still the longest running No 1 in NZ music history. No one was surprised then when “The Crusader” album went on to be one of the fastest selling albums of 2003, selling 8,000 copies in the first few hours of release, and then tripling that in the next few days. The next single, “Not Many – The Remix” confirmed his genius, and found him success over the Tasman, where the Aussies embraced him with a passion, sending him into the charts and buying over 50,000 copies of the album.

Last year saw the release of his long awaited follow up, “Rhyme Book”. It notably features a collaboration with New York hip hop artist Talib Kweli (of Reflection Eternal and Black Star fame) on the track “Be Alright” as well as the amazing “Say It Again” which features Scribe’s cousin Tyra Hammond of Opensouls and Tornados fame. You can check out these tracks and others at www.myspace.com/scribedirtyrecords.

Assisted by DJ D Form, Scribe will be joined on stage by Tyra, who will also perform a solo live set. DJing will be “New Zealand’s ambassador to Ireland”, the legendarily mischevious Mikki Dee, and LOOP’s Adi Dick.

Tickets: £12 +b/f from Ticketweb.co.uk (08700 600 100) or £15 on the door.

From 7.30pm til 1am
At: 9-17 Highgate Road, London, NW5 1JY
Nearest tube: Kentish Town
Venue website: www.kentishtownforum.com

ELECTRIC BALLROOM :: THE BLACK SEEDS :: 25/06/08

The mighty Seeds should need little introduction by now. Over the last ten years they have released a trio of stellar albums, and played all round the globe, entertaining us all with their excellent fusion of dub, reggae, funk and soul.

Now they have a new album set for release in August this year, and are coming back to London to play a small (for them) gig at Camden’s excellent Electric Ballroom, with support from the dubtastic International Observer and Special Needs’ Cam Diggy.

Tickets are flying out the door for Hollie’s London debut, and not surprisingly, given that she is one of the finest talents to come out of Aotearoa in a long time. Her debut album, “Long Player” has sold over 30,000 copies so far, and won her awards, as well as persuading legendary US A&R man, Bruce Lundvall to sign her to his Manhattan Records division of Blue Note.

A last minute change to the schedule sees the jazz star of the moment, Neil Cowley, presently of the Neil Cowley Trio and formerly in Brand New Heavies and Zero 7, providing warm up vibes from the DJ booth.

CLOCKWORK :: MINUIT :: 29/05/08

The pesky breakbeat banditos fly back to Europe for a whirlwind tour to launch their Northern Hemisphere debut, “I went to this party and there were 88 Guards with Guns”, which features the finest tracks from their two original albums. Having beaten the Pet Shop Boys to win a Pixel Award for Best Music Website, and then won a similar gong at SXSW in Texas recently, the Minuit kids are kinda hoping their album will perform in a similar manner. Given the airplay they have been getting from Annie Mac and Annie Nightingale on Radio One, Jay Cunning on KISS and Rennie Pilgrem on Galaxy, they should hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

With support from Nelson’s finest, DJ FunknSloCuts and Demus. Please note that Clockwork is a very small venue, so you will need to move fast if you want to see them.

Tickets: £8 +b/f from Ticketweb (08700 600 100) or £12 on the door.

From: 7.30pm til 1am

Assisted by DJ D Form, Scribe will be joined on stage by the awesome Tyra Hammond of Opensouls and Tornados fame. Also DJing will be Dublin legend, Mikki Dee, and LOOP’s Adi Dick.

ELECTRIC BALLROOM :: THE BLACK SEEDS :: 25/06/08

Apologies but we discovered too late on that the Ticketmaster link we sent in last month’s emailout meant you could end up paying more money for your Black Seeds tickets than if you went to Ticketweb for example. We are dedicated to keeping ticket prices as low as they can be, especially in these crazy times.

Anyways, the good news is that the Seeds are coming back, and with a new album too. Their fourth release is scheduled to hit the streets early August, but hopefully there will be some sneaky previews available at this gig.

12 ACKLAM ROAD :: HOLLIE SMITH :: 14/04/08

Hollie Smith burst onto the NZ music scene with 2006’s blockbuster track, “Bathe in the River”, the lead song in the film No.2. Since then the press appointed “Kiwi soul sister” has seen her debut album, “Long Player” sell over 30,000 copies back in NZ, been awarded “Best Female Solo Artist,” “Breakthrough Artist of the Year,” “Best Aotearoa Roots Album” and “Best Producer” at the 2007 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards, and to top it all off, been signed by EMI/Blue Note Records offshoot, Manhattan, for release in the US and the rest of the world.

As a result, this, her debut UK appearance, will probably be one of the last times to be able to see her in such an intimate environment, as bigger things surely beckon.

CARGO :: WAITANGI DAY :: 06/02/08

This year’s Waitangi Day event comes to you courtesy of Monteith’s lager, in our humble opinion the finest beer in the Southern Hemisphere!

We open the doors at 5pm with sweet reggae tunes in the front bar from DJ Horace (it is, after all, Bob Marley’s birthday!). Then around 7 o’clock, Ngati Ranana, the London Maori club, will perform on the main stage.

This will be followed by a short performance by artist Rosanna Raymond aka Sistar Spacific. After tunes from DJ Big K, there will be live sets from first Precious Clark and then LOOP Recordings’ amazing Adi Dick. Finally, the night will be brought to a close by DJ Tubbs (Hometaping/Exceptional).

Throughout the night, the Cargo kitchen will be rustling up Kiwi flavoured treats – due to unfortunate circumstances their indoor kitchen will be shut, but, in true Antipodean style they have set up the barbies in the back yard and will be grilling away for the evening! Please note they are liable to run out of the more popular items, so get in there early.

We will also be running a CD stall, with nearly 200 NZ titles, 90% of which will be on sale for the special price of £7. if you would like to pre-arrange for something to be available, please visit www.netsoundsmusic.com/nsu/2240/2/0.html to see what is available and then email us at kiaora@spacific.net to let us know what you would like to reserve.

One half of the legendary Unit 23, Jeff started making music in the early nineties when he and his brother performed live electronic audio based performances at art shows and in galleries. They became involved in the emerging electronic dance music scene in Hamilton, and played at many of the early warehouse parties and outdoor events that were beginning to spring up around the country, such as Entrain and the Gathering. They were well known for playing all their sets live, dragging their entire studio outdoors, along with a barrage of slide and film projectors.

LOCKSIDE LOUNGE :: JAYSON NORRIS + THE THIN MEN :: 08/12/07

To celebrate Christmas, and amazingly enough, the 100th show that Spacific has hosted, we are most happy to present two of our favourite London based live acts.

First up will be The Thin Men, playing a stripped back semi acoustic set. Born out of the ashes of El Hula, and fronted by Blair Jollands (described by The Guardian as the southern hemisphere’s Scott-Walker-with-a-twist-of-Jim-Morrison), The Thin Men take the best of contemporary and retro and add touches of indie to the melodic twang of country! You can find out more on them at www.myspace.com/thethinmen2

Our headliner is Jayson Norris – NZ’s answer to Jack Johnson, perhaps! Currently working on his second album with a prime selection of guest contributors, Jayson has had a very busy year, including supporting Dave Dobbyn on his European tour this June. Check him out at www.jaysonnorris.com.

Space is limited at the Lockside so we have put tickets up for £4 in advance at Ticketweb (08700 600 100) or http://tinyurl.com/2pwf96. Otherwise it will be £5 on the door.

From 7pm til 1am

NEIGHBOURHOOD :: OPSHOP :: 22/11/07

The winners of this year’s People’s Choice Award at the annual NZ Music Awards have come along way since the original trio met at Christchurch’s Catholic Boy’s School. Jason Kerrison, Matt Treacy and Tim Skeddon formed the band back in 2002, and were signed the next year to Siren Records.

Their debut album, “You Are Here”, came out to commercial and critical acclaim in 2004, thanks in part to the radio friendly nature of their songs. Despite personnel changes in 2005, the band soldiered on with the follow up, drafting in Manic Street Preachers producer Greg Haver to help shape their songs. Released earlier this year, “Second Hand Planet” is well on its way to platinum sales, having entered the charts at #5.

They have supported Snow Patrol, Silverchair and Powderfinger on their NZ tours, and are really looking forward to their only UK show of 2007. For more info, check out www.myspace.com/opshop or www.opshopmusic.com.

Supporting them on the night will be the lovely Leigh Franklin – www.myspace.com/leighfranklinheaven.

Advance tickets are £8 from Ticketweb (08700 600 100) or http://tinyurl.com/28pcpp
Door sales will be £12

Doors are at 7.30pm, with Leigh Franklin on at 8.45 and Opshop on around 9.30pm.

Venue: Neighbourhood, 12 Acklam Road, W10 5QZ

BIG CHILL BAR :: EAST LARRY :: 05/12/07

East Larry (his mother calls him Luke Procter) hails from Wellington, a city that shaped his interests in hip hop, dub, funk, drum and bass and dirty boogie………..

In the capital he was lucky enough to play at some of his favourite haunts: Sandwhiches, Studio Nine and Havana, as well supporting 50Hz and regularly appearing on RadioActive. Since arriving in London in 2005, Larry has co-hosted a popular monthly night at The Driver called ‘The Larry and Mo Show’ and played in the bar at the legendary Movement night at Bar Rhumba. More recently, his cheeky guest appearances at H*E*R*D, a hip hop night hosted by his foolish friend DJ Vee (The Elephant), have gained a fresh following at the Lockside Lounge in Camden.

THE BEST FLAT WHITE IN LONDON?

Many months ago, we asked you to nominate your favourite places to have a Flat White in London. Four intrepid reporters (Blair Jagusch, Emma Philpott, Matt Fordham and Rory Kingan) went one step further and wrote up detailed reports on each place they visited.

We had been waiting for our lazy developers to finish updating the Spacific website (anyone work with the eZ Publish CMS …. please get in touch!) but thankfully a friend has set up a Spacific group on Facebook (www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6463530279) and we are posting the reports up there.

In a nutshell the results were as follows:

Overall Winner: Flat White
Runner Up: Monmouth Coffee
Highest Scoring Coffee: Tea and Coffee Plant
Highest Scoring Ambience: Sacred and Scooterworks

Please feel free to add your comments (oh and join the group!) on this report, on any gigs you have been to recently, on who you would like to see come over and play in London next year or anything else that takes your fancy!

BIG CHILL BAR :: MISS DIGGA :: 07/11/07

Having moved to London from New Zealand in 1997, Miss Digga immediately found herself at the centre of the city’s dance scene. Over the years she has played at almost every club in town, as well at the TDK dance festival and the Notting Hill Carnival. As a natural progression of her talents, she has also launched her own production career, and her remixes for skewed Berlin electro outfit Warren Suicide have caught the attention of Fatboy Slim, Laurent Garnier, and Annie Mac to name a few. More info, and some rather tasty free mixes to download, at www.myspace.com/missdigga.

COMPETITION:: PIONEERS @ THE PACIFIC PLAYHOUSE

This month we have 2 pairs of tickets to see a brand new play, PIONEERS at the PACIFIC PLAYHOUSE, anytime during its run from 22 to 27 October.

PIONEERS is the remarkable true story of the people who chose to leave Victorian England and Ireland to settle in the wilderness that would have been New Zealand 150 years ago, told through a mesmerising musical performance. On the way they encounter hardship and uncertainty, freedom and love, but, most importantly, the prospect of a new beginning full of possibility. The show also incorporates a visually stunning backdrop of New Zealand scenery mixed in with digitally reproduced archival images of Magic Lantern slides from the UK’s Centre for New Zealand Studies Archive.

To win the tickets, please email kiaora@spacific.net and we will draw 2 names out of the metaphorical hat on October 15th. For more info on the venue, please check www.pacificplayhouse.com or for ticketing, please check www.dafmusic.com.

BAR ACADEMY :: STERIOGRAM :: 26/09/07

Punk rockers Steriogram first tasted success with their debut album, “Schmack”: Signed by legendary American label Capitol Records, they toured the US for over a year, and hit the big time when their “Walkie Talkie Man” track was used in one of the first iPod campaigns. This pushed them into the Top 20 in the UK and led to further hits worldwide.

However, eventually they tired of major label shenanigans and cancelled their contract, taking matters into their own hands. Last November they released their second album, “This Is Not The Target Market” on their own label in NZ, and it finally comes out in the UK this month, with Kerrang giving it a 4K review. This show is the launch party for the album, and should feature support slots by a couple of London based bands they are friends with, but so far have failed to tell us who they are!!

Tickets: First hundred are £5 +b/f from Ticketweb (08700 600 100) then £7

From: 7pm til 1am
At: N1 Centre, 16 Parkfield Street, N1 0PS

He will be playing tracks from it on the night, plus other artists who are inspirational to him. More info at the ubiquitous www.myspace.com/adidick

ELECTRIC BALLROOM :: SHAPESHIFTER :: 04/10/07

The Southern hemisphere’s premier live drum and bass act first came to prominence on the back of supporting Salmonella Dub. Initially they signed to Kog Transmissions with whom they released “Real Time” back in 2001, which they followed with “Riddim Wise” on their own label in 2004, both of which have now achieved gold sales status. Their last album, “Soulstice” came out last year to critical and commercial acclaim, selling over 15,000 copies in NZ and 10,000 in Oz. Their new album of live recordings made with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, cunningly titled “Live” came out last week and went straight to No6 in the NZ Album Charts.

**There are now only 100 tickets left, and while we are trying to source another show later in the month, it is proving difficult as they have an already tight schedule, and Tiki, who does their sound, has to return to NZ to launch his new album. So …. if you want to come then please buy your tix now to avoid disappointment.**

Tickets are £12.50 from Ticketweb.co.uk (08700 600 100) and doors will open at 7pm.

Where: Electric Ballroom, 184 Camden High Street, NW1 8QP

Created from Pacific rites of farewelling the dead, of remembrance, and of greeting the ancestors, it is the work of Samoan choreographer Lemi Ponifasio and brings together Pacific traditions of rhetoric and dance, with contemporary, minimalist theatre to create a pilgrimage of hope, echoing the history of social negotiations in New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Thankfully sneaky copies will be available on this night so you don’t have to wait that long to get your hands on it!
