First up, the blogs unco atm, my lappys broke & yeah just can't be consistant as I used to but i'll post when I can. I like reviewing music/events & giving my opinion on stuff so I just wanted to give you a little of what went down in what was yet another dope weekend for music!
Friday was the double banger of Home Brew & Koru Licks! Place was packed as, walls were gonna break n shit, straight up. The Licks jumped on first (sory bros missed most of the set, got pulled up by mrs officer) & these guys rip it. They've been together a while now so they no their sound and know how to work off each other in style, it's like 2nd nature & because they're a young band, they've got a lot of support that came and helped give Koru Licks the right kinda vibe to play a hearty n energetic set; Honestly, the crowd plays a big part in a live product, but good thing with NZineers, we rip shit regardless & the Licks have taken this trait, solid stuff brothers! You's amped the crowd for Home brew to finish.
Home Brew live was next and they did what they did best. Get live! Tom, Lui & Haz with a solid live band played another good set with tracks off their new "Vintage EP". To be honest, I don't think Rakinos is a ideal live music venue for an event that went down , it's too small, but besides that, Tom still got the crowd singing (if thats what you call it) along to his songs & drove homies to the bar so they could come back and sing louder & make the crowd bounce higher; shit, even got dudes battling i the crowd on who knew the most words! haha shot HB! Their 2nd set was better for me cause a few people cleared out & the music seemed more tighter with a better listen & then Team Niue started a Niue chant haha But wherever Home Brew go, it's guranteed to be on & with the live band, it just gives them an even bigger audience to come n either listen to the music or come for the hip hop/atmosphere. Toms the illest emcee at the moment (safe to say I think) as an artist he knows what he wants & going by the gigs, it's exactly what you want too. My brother also plays for them & if you get to listen to him, you'll be amazed by his skill. Big ups to everyone for Friday!
Kora played live in South Auckland for the first time & they wanted to make sure they gave a good impression. They didn't fail! Coming off the plane from Japan & straight onto the stage, you'd think they'd be tired; far from it! They rocked it, and what more to say? The best band on this earth ended Waitangi Day the best way possible. Kora style!
