To celebrate NZ Music Month, there's going to be GRAND GIVEAWAY! where
you can get your hands on some great Kiwi music (well, mix cds that I'm
going to make up, but they'll be fabulous, you'll love them) and some
other goodies. To enter just visit:

To keep all the love flowing, I've also started up an Artist of the
Week section, where I'll be profiling the best of NZ music. I thought
it'd be a great way for people to keep up with what's going on back in
New Zealand, and also to help drum up support for these guys and help
pave the way for them to get themselves touring overseas. This week's
band are OdESSA, so got check them out at:
