95bFM: Breakfast with Rosetta

Rod Oram and Mike unpack the days upcoming budget announcement; Sarah and Pearl run you through the town's theatre and Top10; Troy and Pip from Southbound bring in some tracks and some prizes (!); and milk perform an ambient set in the bFM offices for your lucky, lucky earholes.

Reuben Winter's (Totems / P.H.F. / Caroles / Roidz) "emo guitar" project, milk, play live from the bFM office for the third of our NZ Music Month Breakfast Live to Airs.

Thanks to NZ on Air.

Dr. Maria joins us in studio for the first of many in-person DVD explorations; Mike and Phil Goff talk about Manchester; Rob talks cryptozoology; and it turns out tuatara aren't lizards. Sorry.

Deep dives into the song vaults; Penelope Noir explores the role of the 'older woman's' place in the world of fashion; Kate Brettkelly-Chalmers explores the idea of 'time' in contemporary art; and ...draw us a picture of thunder, would you?

The second of our NZ Music Month Live to Airs with our featured performer MeloDownz.

Thanks to NZ on Air.

For the first of our NZ Music Month Breakfast live to airs we're joined by the bloody legend that is Pat Kraus. Not to mention our stellar cast of regulars: Jacinda Ardern; Natural Ange; Kiran Dass; and Ximena Smith.

Thanks to NZ on Air.

It's the bFM Breakfast Club, live from Real Groovy Records! Live performances from Trapjaw Kelpie and The Biscuits, and a live didgeridoo performance from Mikey as part of our weekly Travelling Tunes feature. Don't say we never do anything for you.

Thanks to our mates at Coffee Supreme and BurgerFuel.

While at times completely derailed by the appearance of real live oysters, accompanied by Camilla and Tim from Rockefeller Oyster Bar, the show also manages to include an interview with the lovely Beth Orton; political commentary with Jennifer Curtin; crate dives from Troy and the folk at Southbound; some drooling from Producer Sarah and some swearing from Top Ten Pearl. It's a corker.

Beth Orton joins Mikey, down the phoneline, prior to travelling here for her three New Zealand shows. How does her latest release, Kidsticks, fit in to her greater catalogue and how will she be bringing it to us live in June?
