Welcome back to Season Six of the NAS Podcast! In Episode Nineteen, Origin Crxss and Lisa Haden sit down with Terrence from Terrence & The Optimistics.Terrence & The Optimistics are a delightfully quirky New Zealand alternative‑rock outfit originally “frozen in the late 70’s” and recently thawed to “fight Dr Depresso” with their sexy disco-themed music, blending vintage 70’s soul grooves and 80’s alt‑rock flair . Their 2019 EP Groovy Baby earned praise for its nostalgic rhythms and funk-forward tracks like “Soul Baby” and “Dance Dance,” which review dubbed “hip‑gyrating funk groove” reminiscent of an Austin Powers-era dance party. Fronted by Terrence Bull, the duo channels raw, retro energy into music that’s both playful and danceable, exploring themes of joy, nostalgia, and optimism in every track.New Artist Spotlight is a community of indie musicians from around the globe.
