SEPTEMBER NEWS AND LATEST PROGRAMMES

Depot Sound (Jam Radio's noisy big brother) has just finished mastering the upcoming album by the phenomenal and iconic William ‘Bill’ Direen. The album was recorded by Direen himself at his  home in Paris. Loosely, it’s an avant-garde form of minimal rock, with a range of textures and dynamics that seem to encapsulate a lively recording ambiance at the core. Bill’s currently in NZ as a writer-in-residence at the Michael King Writers centre in Devonport…so he’s just up the hill! His album is being released through Powertool Records in Sept 2010.

Here's Bill in the BILDERS 2007 - High Are the Mighty ('In Guantanamo')



And here's Kelly Rose, singer/songwriter with "Outta Sight" her first single release. This debut music video was filmed in our very own sound studios!

NEW CULTURAL ICONS WEBSITE COMING SOON!!

With over twenty Cultural Icons interviews online here at Jam, dozens more lined up and no end date to the project, it has become clear to us that the Cultural Icons programme requires its own website. A platform is now being built with the aim of creating an accessible, easy to use online archive of the Cultural Icons interviews which will proactively promote these iconic New Zealanders.

The Cultural Icons project will be produced over a two year period, with audio and film from the interviews made accessible online. It will include, amongst others, artists, writers, biographers, actors, arts critics and commentators.

Spreadin' the Jam

In these programmes, emerging (and very talented) New Zealand musicians talk to Jam radio and share some of their experiences and their music. You heard it here first! Latest programmes from:

Maia Te Aroha (aka MTA) is a velvet voiced musician who has recently contributed to Sweet Dreams, a collaborative CD which includes tracks by Dai Hamo and Lady Sheeq.  She is also part of Phatmatics, a soul/funk/reggae/jazz band from Auckland.  She chats with us about her experiences, her extensive musical influences and about how she came to write some of her songs in Maori.

Rap and Rn’B artist Rokidd (aka Rowan Cashtri) tells us about his early mixing experiments with his mum’s record player and his decision to make a real commitment to music.  Rokkid has been signed with D.Love on their label Nu Geno where he is busy recording NZ’s next big Rn’B single.  Listen out!

James Crompton performs his special blend of indie/folk/punk both as a solo artist and in his band The Standard Deviations.  Hear about how he crafts his songs, his first experiences performing live at the Temple Bar open mic and how he persuaded his mum that being a musician was ok.  

Talented singer-songwriter Anna Kaye gave up the guitar and the solo open mic nights, set up a band (Anna Kaye and the Engineers) and is now focussing all her energies on releasing an EP and music video.  She talks with Jam about this process and her recent musical highlights (including hearing her song playing in the supermarket!)

Graham Candy has acting, singing and even ballroom dancing under his belt, so this youngster is no stranger to performance. With his infectiously good compositions and 'Peter Pan' attitude, he will be going far. Listen in for some great music and tales.

Finding a Sponsor for your Radio Show

As you are aware, Jam Radio charges sliding scale rates for training, equipment use and hire, and editing. This is to cover the costs of the running of the station. It’s very rare that Jam makes exceptions for a discount in rates, as the small income we generate is vital for the stations operation, and is not for profit.

If finding the money to put on a show or a regular series is difficult for you, there are other ways to fund it. If you would like to know more about sponsorship for your radio show get in touch with us.
