Kia ora . Raglan will be bouncing to the bass riddums and skank of the Soundsplash Festival this weekend. Good place to catch one of the last TrinityRoots shows, see Amplifier favourites Fat Freddy's Drop and Kora and watch Katchafire playing into the first hours of Waitangi Day. And speaking of Waitangi Day Channel Z is reincarnated as Kiwi, a 100% NZ radio station. It’s time to celebrate Aotearoa, our people, our culture and our beautiful land.

Bands on Arch Hill Recordings manage to combine a great sparkling tune with something a bit different; like a few left-of-center experimental tricks, twists, sonic inventions, re-inventions. Artists include Fang, Pine, Ghostplane, David Kilgour and more... Click here to view the Arch Hill label page. > http://www.amplifier.co.nz/nzmusic/archhill/Arch_Hill_Recordings.html
