If you don’t know kowtow, they’re a Wellington-based clothing label who do some very, very sweet t-shirt prints.
They also put out these CD compilations - 3 of them so far - buy a shirt, get the CD for free. It’s all tasty NZ stuff in a dubby-trip hoppy-electro vein from artists like Olmecha Supreme, Opensouls, [...]

Another new Harmonica Lewinsky song - must have enough for an album now.
This one’s called “the gentle art of self destruction” and it now comes with more cowbell.

Sorry for the delay in posting new stuff last week but dark forces conspired. Now the computers are all running (purged of vista - what a disaster that was), I’m healthy again, and I’ve even got some cool new toys in the studio.

Today I finished mixing this Harmonica Lewinsky track, it’s [...]

Some moving pictures of us recording picture perfect at the little shack on the hill in Raglan.
Us is me and Lani. Also present are AJ, Thalia, a dog called Dharma, Mrs Nicholson and some cows.
Shot by AJ, chopped by Scott.
I haven’t posted any music this week but there’s a very good reason. Laziness.
And now I’m on Waiheke for more Harmonica Lewinsky practice.
But I have been listening to this podcast that Vinnie pointed me to, and it’s well worth checking out for some really cool exploratory instrumental grooves.

The Harmonica Lewinsky rehearsals are going really well in spite of the tyranny of distance between band members (Wellington - Raglan - Waiheke). Next time I’ll try to get some audio or video from rehearsal and post it here.
