UPCOMING: Home Brew - Home Brew 2xCD (YOUNG, GIFTED & BROKE)

Written By 1 - April 14 2012

Home Brew release their debut double album on Friday 4th of May and celebrate with a 48-Hour Album Release Party in Old Brothel, to pre-order the CD, please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

 

If you don't know Home Brew, ask John Key. Or The University of Auckland. Or watch the EPK below.

Despite what these people might tell you about them being burdens on society, or advocates for drug dependency, you gotta respect the integrity of their independence and the diligence of their work ethic. In the last year they've been involved in three 5 star releases (At Peace, Max Marx, Last Week), nominated for the Vodafone Critics Choice Award, impregnated Petra Bagust and shaped the rules of the NZ Music Industry without a marketing director or legally recognized source of income.

Now, after three years of dedication and benefit fraud, they've finally completed a piece of work good enough to move them out of their Mum's place; a debut double album conceptualized by the balance of life's extremities. One side, light. The other, dark. A dichotomy of methadone and melancholy. Infinity and finality. It's a record that looks back at Saturday's moment of madness through Sunday's moment of clarity.

Featuring the talents of such people as Chip Mathews (Opensouls), Christoph El Truento (Wonderful Noise) and Hollie Smith (Don McGlashan's friend) it's their most mature, self reflective, existential piece of work to date. So to celebrate it, they're throwing a party in an old brothel.

Home Brew – Home Brew deluxe album out 4 May Pre-order the album from iTunes from 13 April

Home Brew Speakeasy – 48-Hour Album Release Party 330 New North Road, Kingsland, Auckland 10am Saturday 5 May – 10am Monday 7 May Featuring beer and performances from Home Brew and special guests $30 pre-sale tickets (gets you entry to the party and a copy of the album upon arrival) available at www.undertheradar.co.nz from Monday 16 April

A1. Vakula feat Dices - Asuwant A2. Vakula feat Dices - Asuwant (A Blyad) B1. Vakula - This Is Not Music Following Linkwood's EP would never be an easy task, but Vakula has an equally impressive ace up his sleeve!

The Joubert Singers - Stand On The Word 12" (FAVORITE RECORDS)

Written By 1 - April 05 2012

Available here on 12"

A musical experience of unification! “Stand On The Word” was first ever recorded live in the First Baptist Church in Crown Heights, NYC, in 1982. Soon after the church pressed up a couple of hundred copies for the congregation, a couple of blocks away from Walter Gibbons’ Jus Born recording studios. Walter Gibbons had already turned new born Christian since a few years, avid Gospel records collector with that, and played the original recording often behind the counter at the 7th av. Rock and Soul shop were he worked. Walter Gibbons must be credited to have revealed this Phyllis McKoy Joubert song to New York most discerning DJs and soulful dance music aficionados, as it quickly became a Garage, Loft and Zanzibar club classic and ended up remixed by Tony Humphries for this wider release. The idea behind this re-edition was also for people who weren't able to afford the original maxi to at least enjoy it on vinyl 12 inch.

Track List & Sound Clips:

A1. STAND ON THE WORD 6:24 A2. STAND ON THE WORD (Instrumental) 5:50 B1. STAND ON THE WORD (Original Version) 4 :44 B2. STAND ON THE WORD 6:40
