Snap up your tickets from UTR: You may be thinking: 'a record release party? Wasn't Messages For released in 1988?' Well yes, yes it was; except this album was reissued just last month by Ally Records. Refresh your ears here: At the show, Jefferies intends to play a some new material as well as some new arrangements of existing Messages For songs. He'll also have some of those fresh new vinyls to purchase. Best get along eh! Failing that, word is he is playing a wee...

This week James heads off the beaten track. He's not searching for the really obscure records, just the ones that are sometimes a little bit overlooked.

Juno Is, the project of Mackenzie Hollebon, will soon be releasing a new album called Floating Alone. In anticipation she has released the new project's first single and video, for the song Floating. Check it out here: Floating Alone is Hollebon's first album, and it comes as the follow up to her EP Creature Of Habit, released last year. If you enjoyed that and you happen to live in Dunedin or Christchurch (or the rest of the South Island for that matter!), do yourself a massive favour and go see Juno Is live this weekend! Tickets available via Garbage Records. View this post on Instagram A post shared by junois (@junoissnazzy)  ...
