With just 8 percent of the vote, the iron was the least popular of the eight tokens that also include the racecar, top hat, wheelbarrow, battleship, shoe, thimble and Scottie dog.

He’s not just a pretty face – Andrew Keoghan is also an insanely talented multi-instrumentalist. Having returning from a recent Europe and North American tour – so what’s the first thing he wants to do? Play for his Kiwi fans. Andrew will preview a selection of new songs, as well as material from his 2011 debut.

Balada Entertainment and Grape Vinyl presents Nickodemus. From the early days of Giant Step, to today’s Turntables on the Hudson parties, Nickodemus has been a key element in the NYC dance music scene for over 10 years. He’s joined by Dj Tamenpi, with support from Bobby Brazuka and Zane Tee.

I see what he did there – that’s a catchy title, but to be honest I also expect to see some rhinestones because they are cool and shinny. For one night only, the rapping sensation Daniel Urquhart – whose self-proclaimed passion in life is hip-hop and horses – will be galloping all the way from the South Island to bring his cheeky rhymes.

Flip, real name Clare, Grater is back from France to celebrate the Kiwi summer (cleverly escaping the cold). The Christchurch singer-songwriter is touring through some of her favourite local spots, taking her indie-folk sound to new places as well as familiar ones, debuting hot tracks from her fourth album (out this year).

Make a day of it on the Shore, starting with the Devonport Wine & Food Festival and ending with one of the top parties of summer! Presented by Highlife Entertainment, The Tuborg Sounds of Summer is back at the Masonic Tavern with a power packed international and local line-up including Argentinian-born Space Ibiza resident DJ Paul Darey!

Every man and his dog loves a good vineyard tour. Why? Booze and music, why else? Of course you can’t actually bring your dog into the concert, but you can bring your friends or family. The Tauranga sun will keep you going all through the night as you listen to Kiwi act Opshop and Che-Fu and Aaradhna, as well as Aussie Missy Higgins.

This stellar event pairs the homegrown spectacular that is the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra with “the best ukulele soloist in the world” James Hill in a summer double bill of ukulele magic. Look out for ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’, surely one of the most popular songs on the ukulele, thanks to 50 First Dates.

It’s not some satanic ritual disguised in the middle of the Garden City, so leave your crazy at home. New Zealand’s hottest up and coming band Devilskin are taking the rock scene by storm and riding high on their recent success. The Hamilton rockers are proud to announce their South Island debut in Christchurch by popular demand.

Break out the jump rope; lay down some vinyl and crack open a fire hydrant because the Regrooved Welcome to Summer Block Party is here! Featuring some of Kiwiland’s top hip-hop, funk, glitch hop, breakbeat and ghettofunk talent – which includes King Kapisi and Kolab – plus two top internationals, across three rooms indoor and outdoor at the basement theatre.

Possibly the biggest Winery Tour line-up to date, this staple summer show has become an iconic event since its inception seven years ago. This year’s headline act is Fat Freddy’s Drop, joined by the sensational Anika (Moa), Boh (Runga) & Hollie (Smith) collaboration, and to top it off is The Adults, featuring Jon Toogood, Julia Deans and Shayne Carter.

Ohemgee. I don’t want to get you excited but Pat Benatar! Possibly one of the greatest ‘80s rock icons ever (depending how you look at it). She’s joined by fellow performers Neil Giraldo, giants of rock ‘n’ roll Bachman & Tuner and America. Pat’s a four time Grammy winner and not to mention, and more importantly, she sung the karaoke classic Love Is a Battlefield.

G Thomas is best known for writing the pop hits of Kiwi band Goodshirt, and has also worked with a range of recording artists including Bic Runga, Golden Horse, Future Cut, Sarah Brown, Steve Abel and Dave Yetton. Everyone will love the acoustic/alternative sound of the Gareth Thomas Band. It’s the perfect sound to lull you into a middle-afternoon coma of delight.

For their first New Zealand tour in 10 years, who is to say Garbage is a has beens? If their latest tour will be anything like the last, they will show why they are a premium live band. Shirley’s a bit old and perhaps a bit wiser, but she’s still got her Scottish bite.

For all you tweens out there, get ready to make your big fluro signs the night before and lube up your vocal chords for a good hour or whatever of screaming –it’s Reece! The guy that young girls seem to find hot, but I seriously can’t figure out what is going on there.

Who’s in the dead supergroup for your dream hologram show? Miles Davis. That’s all.

What’s an upcoming film you’re jazzed about? Seeing the illegal footage from behind the scenes of the Watersider’s Strike in the 1950s as part of our film evening!

Your fantasy spirit animal is… Lone wolf, obviously. Isn’t that everyone’s fantasy spirit animal?

Your signature “I’m an amazing cook” dish is… Soba noodles with mango, eggplant and tofu. It’s really good, and almost impossible to fuck up.

The best TV show around at the moment is… Definitely, Parks and Recreation.

You’d get arrested if the police knew that you… Once I stole a sticker from the butcher’s shop when I was four years old, but my mum engaged in some restorative justice and made me take it back and confront my victim, so that probably doesn’t count, does it?

ARTIST Q&A

People say you look like… Once Honor Blackman (a.k.a Pussy Galore) told me I looked a bit like “that other Australian actress, what’s her name, Toni someone?” I am not Australian or an actor, and nor do I look anything like Toni Collette, but I took it anyway.

Five celebs on your f**klist? I prefer to have a “handholding list” because that seems way less intimidating than a fucklist. So, people I would like to hold hands with: David Byrne (smart), Stephen Merchant (funny), Pamela Adlon (sassy), James Murphy (endearing) and Louis C.K (poignant).

What generic current affair has your blood boiled? The constant and relentless focus on beneficiary bashing whilst corporate welfarism runs on unabated and encouraged.

Wellington, the cultural and alternative hipster city of New Zealand (all stereotypes applied here), is getting a huge dollop of the weird and wonderful in the Fringe Festival. The Civic Square is being transformed from the ordinary to the extraordinary with show previews, whole lunch shows, buskers and more.

The Auckland Art Gallery’s exhibit Who Shot Rock & Roll is nearly over – and this is one special showing you don’t want to miss! Music and images combine at the last Open Later night; with DJ Leonie Hayden gets the evening started at 6pm, before guest speaker Otis Frizzell (hip-hop artist, TV/radio personality) discusses his fave pic. Legendary Kiwi musician SJD performs live to end the show.

Hamilton Gardens, an iconic attraction for the more civilised folk, is transformed for 14 days every February for the Garden Festival. Marquees spring up, car parks overflow, people are everywhere, music and laughter spill from every corner. Take your grandmother, go for a picnic, or go for the range of live entertainment.

You know the kick-ass titles; now hear the award-winning music as played by the New Zealand Symphonic Orchestra. The concert features composer Tan Dun’s scores from three classic martial arts films – The Banquet, Hero, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And to remind you of their big screen ka-pow, scenes from the films will play in the background.

Public spaces will be taken over by cinema, theatre and dancing, and purpose-built areas (theatres, halls swimming pools) will house alternative content in all forms.

With an ear for music and an eye for the landscape Mt Zion starts New zealand’s filmmaking year on a good note. It’s not going to boil up the country in the way Boy did, but this is a homegrown muso drama to be proud of.

Stan Walker does well portraying the daftly naïve Turei, a potato picker with a stupendous voice who dreams of being the opening act for Bob Marley & the Wailers’ Auckland concert. Though Walker’s range is limited (re: his acting, not his singing), his game is lifted significantly when onscreen with his superb bro-counsel co-stars – musician Troy Kingi, Shortland Streeter David Wikaira-Paul and ghost chips internaliser Darcy Ray Flavell-Hudson – whose group chemistry throbs with a naturally humorous vibrancy that pulsates throughout the film. Temuera Morrison is perfectly nuanced as Turei’s father, a “man of the land” who uses his whanau-heavy morals

to level his son’s increasingly self-indulgent aspirations.

The film delights in recreating 1979 Pukekohe, from the intimate low-income neighbourhoods to the terrible facial hair styling on the record producers’ faces. Managing to romanticise the era without shamelessly over-glorifying it, writer-director Tearepa Kahi uses the beauty of the land as a contrast to a cultural lifestyle hit by the effects of urbanisation.

I wish the big confrontation near the end carried more weight, for it resolves in a way that feels far too subdued. Nevertheless, I commend Mt Zion for how it filters its by-the-numbers themes through the values of traditional Maori communities, producing something fresh and wholesome. And be prepared to hum those tunes days after you’ve left the cinema.

Savage Garden, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. What do these artists all have in common except all having hits pre-1990s? Love songs. This Valentine’s Day, MTV Classic is your home of love as we bring you the 100 mushiest, feel good, lovey- dovey songs of all time. Get your significant other around for some loving.

The world of fantasy and reality collide in a brand new season of the hit show. In season two, the fairytale characters awaken from the curse and remember who they truly are. To their dismay, they aren’t transported back to fairytale land. To make matters worse, Rumpelstiltskin introduces magic into the town.

Billed as the spin off from Knocked Up, we reunite with Leslie Mann’s character and her husband, played by Paul Rudd as she turns 40 (well, 38 in her eyes). As she struggles to come to terms with her age, she slips into a mid-life crisis, with some very funny – yet heartwarming – results.

The new season of Family Guy is here, and continues on with more celebrity guest stars and controversy than you can shake a stick at. This latest episode is looking at the birth of Jesus. Ryan Reynolds lends his voice as the Son of God and the story is populated with all your favourite characters in various roles.

Based on Saturday Night Live sketches, the iconic Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin star in Coneheads as aliens with cone-shaped craniums who come to Earth to observe everyday life and pursue the immigrant’s American dream. They raise their teenage daughter Connie and live with secret identities while being tracked incessantly by an INS agent.

Set in grandeur of one of Dunedin’s historic buildings, Bacchus has become one of Dunedin’s leading restaurants and number-one places for New Zealand and imported wines. It’s the atmosphere as much as anything, with views of the Octagon as the sun sets and a warm, inviting feeling inside.

This quirky little pop-up embodies what’s important at the real Hamptons in Long Island – beach life. The restaurant’s blue beach shacks and sun umbrella’s are a dramatic contrast to the grey concrete of Auckland’s central business district, and brings the seaside to the working world. The Hamptons will be around until May.

Are you a fiend for sweet sugary alcoholic treats? What if rums and bourbons are more your style? You name the flavours you like and Toast’s expert cocktail craftsman will whip them up in a flurry of fresh ingredients and premium spirits. Toast has developed a long-standing reputation for awesome cocktails, local Djs and some crazy bartending. Their staff have won a couple awards for their cocktails too, including the Suntory Cup, Trans Tasman Cocktail Competition and De Kuyper Best Bar Team. But in true Dunedin fashion, it’s a cocktail bar without the pomp and pretense – just a fun, friendly atmosphere with people who are passionate about what they do.

YOUR BEST SHOTHIT ME WITHYOUR BEST

SHOTHIT ME WITH

Benatar, the four-time Grammy winner, alongside her producer/guitarist husband, Giraldo, have 10 platinum selling albums and 19 top 40 singles to their name. not to mention writing some of the 80’s most memorable hits, ‘hit me With Your Best Shot’, ‘Love is a Battle field’, ‘We Belong’ and ‘heartbreaker’ among many others.

Benatar, who has been singing since the age of eight, has a 13 disc back catalogue which she began working on when she quit her bank teller job in 1973. a Liza minnelli concert would be the event that gave her the inspiration to start singing full time.

from singing in the school choir, to a one year stint in university studying health education, to bank teller, to singing waitress, Benatar has almost done it all on her long road to success.

In The Heat Of The Night, Benatar’s first album with Giraldo, put out an unfortunately unsuccessful first and second single. however single three ‘if You think You Know how to Love me’ was an immediate success.

the album, produced by mike Chapman, cemented Benatar as a new force in rock and caused Chapman to break his vow of never taking on a new artist again after hearing the original demo tapes. In The Heat Of The Night would be the first in a long line of many successes for Benatar and Giraldo.

Giraldo, arguably one of the finest and most underrated guitarists of the 80’s arena rock genre, landed a guitarist gig with rick Derringer not long after bars. however the band wasn’t to last, with Derringer become intimidated by Giraldo’s growing stage presence and ability. after having his role in the band cut down and other such politics, Giraldo left the band and relocated to new York City. after the move, it would soon be suggested to Giraldo that he joined forces with an up and coming singer by the name of Pat Benatar. as Benatar gained greater fame, Giraldo’s part in the band grew accordingly.

it wasn’t long before Giraldo and Benatar gelled and after a string of hit albums and singles, alongside Giraldo’s talent, Benatar was quickly established one of the greatest female rock voices of the 80s. With Giraldo writing alongside Benatar and producing the albums, his talent

was quickly known. he began to lend them out to other recording artists, something he continues to do to this day.

Benatar and Giraldo were married in 1982 and even though the hits started to dry up, they continued to release albums and the kept touring regularly as well as raising a family.

all in all the duo have been making music together for 34 years and have been equally successful in other musical ventures. outside of the composer and producer role on Benatar’s album’s Giraldo has back catalogue consists of an array of hits he’s helped pen for the likes of John Waite, rick Spring field. Giraldo has seen success with songs co-written for Kenny Loggins, Beth hart, and the Del-Lords, to only scratch the surface.

their support acts, Bachman & turner and america, have legacies of their own. Bachman found success with the Guess Who when their single ‘american Woman’ shot to number one on the billboard charts - a first for a Canadian act. While america quickly became a global household name following their single ‘a horse With no name’ and a string of other hits.

it is no surprise then that their original itinerary wasn’t satisfactory for fans. Due to intense demand the pair added another show, this one at Wellington’s michael fowler Centre, to what was originally only three shows across the north island (taupo, matakana and Queenstown). With 34 years of back catalogue choosing a set list wouldn’t have been an easy task, but the duo are slated to play their aforementioned mega hits, while Bachman & turner will playing some of theirs including the much loved ‘taking Care of Business.’

PAT BENATAR AND HER HuSBAND AND BAND MATE NEIL GIRALDo ARE CoMING To NZ FoR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEK AND ARE BRINGING WITH THEM SoME oF THE GIANTS oF RoCK ’N’ RoLL, BACHMAN & TuRNER AND AMERICA.

ShirLeY manSon DoeSn’t want to talk about break-ups. nor does she want to talk about that infamous moment walking offstage in Perth in 2005, or that time she took a shit in an ex-boyfriends cornflakes.

But the Garbage front woman is very open about relationships – in terms of Garbage and their tour down under to promote their latest album Not Your Kind of People .

the rock band – pre hiatus – was known for their live shows. When they last came to new Zealand on their Beautiful Garbage tour 10 years ago, they were welcomed with open arms, despite the tour being plagued by problems elsewhere – from Shirley’s sore throat to drummer Butch Vig’s two rounds of sickness.

Shirley is excited to be back on the road and heading to new Zealand and australia – the place where Garbage initially found fame in the 1990s.

“We are in an incredible privileged position. not many bands can go away for seven years and come back to this incredible welcome. We feel this is our ‘lightning in the bowl moment’. this isn’t going to come around for us again, so we are just trying to ride the waves and hope for the best!” she laughs.

the two shows in auckland and Wellington will be the first time Kiwi fans can hear songs from the band’s latest album Not Your Kind of People played live. the album also marks a first for Garbage – it is their only record produced solely under their own label Stun Volume.

it was a relationship breakdown, Shirley explains with a pause, when asked why the band separated from their previous label. Describing themselves as the band that “didn’t fit in”, Garbage had finally become at loggerheads with their record company and eventually, each other. But for Shirley, walking off tour in 2005 wasn’t the end of Garbage – it was the beginning of a beautiful and more harmonious relationship.

“it was more than just our frustration with our record company,” she explains. “it was also our role in the relationship. We were at odds with them in certain parts of the world because the label just didn’t see eye-to-eye with us.”

for Shirley, this meant the most “easy and natural thing to do” was to start their own label, have a good time and start out the way they want.

and it shows. the new album sounds like a return to form, a return to the sound that made Garbage who they were –‘Stupid Girl’, ‘Supervixen’ – a blend of pop, rock and Shirley’s distinctive growl that makes Garbage indefinable.

“it makes me happy when people say that [this album is like the first],” she says. “i know the first record we made really connected to people and i feel like people are responding in a similar way to this one, even though the records.

Learning form the mistakes made in their earlier relationship, this album also represents a truly collaborative effort between Shirley and fellow band members Duke erikson, Steve marker and Butch Vig.

“i think we realised in order to have a happy band, you need to have everyone really invested in it,” Shirley says with a laugh. “We didn’t write separately like we have in the past. this time round for the most part everyone wrote songs in the same room as one, and it made for a happier family.”

Statistics show most people meet their future partner in a bar, so if there is a specially organised singles event chances are looking pretty high you’ll score! Everyone who arrives between 7 to 8pm gets a complimentary Passionberry cocktail. The event is hosted by Cleo Bachelor of the Year finalist Stephen Buckley! RSVP to [email protected]

If dinner and drinks is more your scene, bring your loved one (or someone you just met) down to El Gusto and treat them with their Shared Lovers Menu. Live music to get you in the mood from Los Dos Gitano, and to top it all off all, bookings will receive a complimentary glass of bubbles.

Haters are gonna hate, but at least these guys are doing something about it! If you think VD is just an over-commercialised piece of shit, then get on the bandwagon. This year, celebrate by being a part of an anti-valentines night. Petra Rijnbeek will be singing and there is a promise of no slow love songs.

VD is not all chocolates and roses – so if you’re marriage, partnership, dating situation has you down, relationship consulting is on hand to help you fix the cracks before it may be too late. They’ll help you get back on track, set aside an hour or so for you two to connect again and has out any ongoing issues behind closed doors.

When you picked up your partner spinning some sharn about you’re love being written in the stars, now you can actually say your love it up there. This unique event is an unforgettable date where you get a romantic guided tour of the night sky from the comfort of the reclined seats AND you get your very own star.

Enjoy a six-course degustation in the Grand Lobby with glass of bubbles (with optional wine pairing). You will have your own intimate table to share with your special other half. Following that, sit back and enjoy a special pre-release screening of the new Stephen Merchant romantic comedy I Give It a Year at 8:30pm.

As dodgy as it may sound, it’s not about getting down and dirty on the raceway. It’s actually a special Lindauer Lawn twilight race meeting. Mix and mingle with the finest ladies and gents in Canterbury, while enjoying eight action packed sprint races with only 20 minutes between them. Dress to impress, just saying.

Star gazing seems to be a common theme on Valentine’s Day. Is it like the new jewellery? If you do enjoy a good gaze at the universe, sit back this Valentine’s night at Carter Observatory. Treat your loved one to a starry, romantic planetarium show, bubbles, a sweet treat and stargazing through the historic Cooke telescope (weather-dependent).

It’s the romantic comedy that defined a generation and gave young women unrealistic expectations of love, but it’s a classic flick with a big heart. Hear Inigo Montoya utter those immortal words, or what stable hand Westley take on the ROUS in the Fire Swamp. Silo Park is the perfect location to snuggle under the night’s sky.

LiKe BiC runGa, anika moa and amiria Grenell in aotearoa, missy higgins is australia’s answer to girl with a guitar and brain exploding with ideas and creativity. it’s a shame that we don’t hear more of her and her compatriots because what she does is slick, clever and down right brilliant.

But that’s all about to be rectified when she joins Che fu and aaradhna on the morefm Summer Vineyard tour, which is set to head out from mills reef Winery tauranga on fri 15 feb . higgins told me she’s quite “stoked at gigging in the wine country”. “i love my job,” she cooed down the phone.

Back over the ditch she’s racked up wax time with a bunch of australian number-one albums: The Sound of White (2004), On a Clear Night (2007) and her latest The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle (2012) plus a pile of nominations at the aria awards, including seven for the latter.

her latest shows a real maturity and spark, a sign that she’s really arrived. ‘Set me on fire’ is pure unadulterated pop with heart. ‘unashamed Desire’ is a hook laden driver, whilst the almost a cappella ‘everyone’s waiting’ has the soul of Gospel and the narration of a good soundtrack.

With a presence that is smoky and universal – without a hint of the gawd-awful aussie twang we all twinge at – her music has a universal maturity that should go well with her Chardonnay and Sauvignon audiences during the upcoming shows. But …Razzle Dazzle has an underlying narrative, too, tucked away and i was keen to find out about the driver behind it.

to answer that, higgins took me back to when she started writing music for her third album in 2009.

“i also wanted to try film and did my debut as annie in [the 2010 film] Bran Nue Dae [directed by rachel Perkins]”.

the film’s an adaptation of the 1990 musical of the same name and “possibly australia’s first aboriginal musical,” she chimes in. “i think i needed a break to understand things and myself from a different perspective.”

higgin’s freely admits to political activism on behalf of first nation peoples, animals, climate change and gay rights. “in australia i often stand out on these things. People still ask why i support aboriginal rights. it’s not as accepted as it is over there [in new Zealand].”

in July 2010, she reluctantly took up an earlier commitment to play several dates of at Sarah mcLachlan’s Lilith fair tour through the uS. But then she met fellow aussie musician Butterfly Boucher. they hit it off and decided to collaborate at Boucher’s place in nashville and to record a few numbers.

that led to a snowball’s momentum, crashing though her musical apathy and the writer’s block she’d amassed over the years. it also led to a wonderful moment when she got to duet with WomaD artist Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.

“You don’t get that many honors, even in music – so that was really special”.

here’s hoping her time in aotearoa will be special, too.

WRITTEN BY TIM GRuAR
