Welcome to Locals Only the New Zealand music podcast where we talk Aotearoa’s finest musicians about the soundtracks of their lives. Joining me today is a duo who knows better than anyone that there are some lies you live and some you leave behind. As fate would have it they first took the stage under the guise of a full one hour live set when in reality they had just had the one song. But where others would see a reason to quit. These two saw a reason to hit harder than a K RD “eccy” after midnight. The come up would see them take to the stage at NZ's biggest festivals, Rhythm and vines and Plane Sailing audiences were blown away by their patient palpable pulse that thrummed through the hearts and ears of young gurning kiwis. And that palpable pulse can be heard on their stunning debut album, SPACE GIRL FINDS CASH, available now wherever you get your music.

Welcome to Locals Only the New Zealand music podcast where we talk Aotearoa’s finest musicians about the soundtracks of their lives. Joining me today is an artist who has an unbridled knack for catching the eyes, ears and hearts of some music's biggest names. 

Notably, the multiple grammy award winning artist Billie Eilish and recently the disney channel breakout who’s as sweet as a slice of cake by the ocean, Joe Jonas. And she did so with two things, her guitar and her voice. 

So, what happens when that guitar and that voice are combined with a litany of smooth harmonies, catchy melodies and a vulnerable sense of growth and optimism? You get King Clown. The stunning new album available on Vinyl and wherever you stream music. This week on Locals Only it’s, PAIGE!!

Joining me today are three artists who met on the breezy willow lined banks of the opawaho river. They then boarded a raft and drifted toward the Rapaki peaks to fill the valley with the honest stripped back sounds of a bright sunny suburb. All of which can be heard on their singles Daily Grind and Racetrack. Welcome back to the Locals Only Lounge, Ryan, Chris and Monique AKA Saint Martins!
