the homewreckers

If you don’t like superheros, wrestlers, bikini girls, 2 piece grrrl bands, wonder woman, glam, boxing and rock n roll, then you probably shouldn’t watch this video.
It’s Lani and Dione aka Lena Assault and Gina Brokenheart (and rhythm section of Harmonica Lewinsky) as The Homewreckers - live at artworks theatre.

 

clench video

I mentioned that Lani and Dione (the rhythm section of Harmonica Lewinsky) also play in some other bands - one of them is “Clench”.
Here’s Clench live. Lani is on bass, Dione on drums, Jason on guitar, Bede on guitar and vocals. The song is “Worse” and the clip also features the “Dead Dolls Dancers”.

sometimes backwards is better

I’m stoked with how well my new band Harmonica Lewinsky is progressing, especially as we’ve never played together at the same time.
Lani’s playing bass and Dione’s playing drums, and they play together in some other bands so they get to practice together. But because I live in Raglan and they both live on Waiheke Island, [...]

Be warned: this is essentially 14 and a half minutes of someone [...]

I’ve always loved Mos Def’s track “Close Edge” and I thought it was time I fleshed it out a bit.

The vocal is taken from this performance on the Dave Chappelle Show and of course there’s a bit of Stevie Wonder in there too.
So that’s Mos, [...]

picture perfect

A while ago I mentioned that Lani Lewis and I would be doing some recording this year. Here’s a taste of what we’re up to:

It’s a pre-mix (meaning not finished) but I thought you might like to hear it in process.
The song is called Picture Perfect - it’s one she’s been playing for a [...]

everything clean, everything new

So I didn’t go to bed.
Regular visitors will have noticed the site being all over the place lately. I’ve finally gotten around to rebuilding it in more of a blog-based form (which I’ve been meaning to do for ages).
I’ve been really slack lately with keeping on top of the rss feed and the email updates, [...]
