Amplifier Newsletter #173 - 15 June 2005
Kia ora , We never realised how much NZ albums are like buses. You wait ages and nothing comes along then suddenly you
get three arriving all at the same time. This week has seen new releases from Nathan Haines and the NZSO (Life Time),
Dave Dobbyn (available light) and Fat Freddy's Drop re-releasing their seminal Live at the Matterhorn EP.
Three great CD’s to keep you warm and relaxed during these chilly winter days. In the news this week, the Tall Dwarfs
are off to tour the USA, Goldenhorse go from strength to strength and have added more London dates to their Northern
Hemisphere tour, the NZMIC have released the latest State of the Music Nation Report and dDUB are embarking on a
nationwide Tour.
