HAWKES BAY
They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place, but for local jazz chanteuse Viva Sahn, that’s just what happened with the second theft of her musical gear in the past 18 months. This time, though, it was out of her car, and along with her guitar went all her music, collected over the years. A benefit concert held at Mossy’s has gone some way towards getting Viva back on her feet ... winning a spot at Mountain Rock are local bands Dusty Rhodes, Station, from Dannevirke, and Beat Not Fish, who will perform on the main stage. Also happening for Beat Not Fish is the release, finally, of their debut album, with a release party planned for December 3 at Mossy’s ... blues rocker Jerry Harrison is returning to Napier after a few years in Australia touring with a band called Off the Ark ... Zillionaires is the name of a new jazz/rock band featuring Dan Fearn on bass, guitarist Dave Boston, Mike Anson on keyboards, and drummer Cameron Budge ... changes on Kidnappers Access Radio see Graeme Chaplow’s alternative shows going out on Saturdays, 3-spm, and Wednesdays, 9.30pm--12am, while Trevor Ruffell’s folk slot has grown into a two hour show ... Hannay's music and arts magazine, Say, has finally hit the streets. All contributions
gratefully accepted. Meanwhile, Hanging Tree Records are having their plans for another release of local music, entitled White Bread and Jam, held up due to legal action by one of the bands involved who don’t want their song included on the tape ... Vaccine are looking for a new vocalist after the departure of Andy Cummins ... Static Black are due to release their 10 track CD EP early this month ... Taradale High/Colenso High combo Aeroplane Kid won the Mathers High School Battle of the Bands.
