Sleepers, Awake!
Wellington electronic music fans will have fond memories of the While_you_were_Sleeping nights. They’ve been hibernating for a couple of years, but will emerge blinking into the light on Sunday November the 14th at Betty’s. Expect a broad spectrum of sound, with an emphasis on ambient and experimental textures, but with touches of hip-hop, post-rock and […]
Oh Baby, Baby
This Friday and Saturday night, film maker Julie Hill (who’s name you may recognise from her work at Radio New Zealand and on Frontseat ) is screening the premiere of her documentary, Baby where are the fine things you promised me? at the Film Archive. The doco follows local actor Stephen Bain and his protest […]
On a Mission
Did Apollo 13: Mission Control do the business, flick my switches, get lift-off etc?
Hey hey, it's Parliament Open Day!
Wellington may be the Coolest Little Capital in the World, but it wouldn’t be the capital without Parliament. The Beehive has uncool net curtains. Being a building from the ’70s, this is probably not surprising. But this is one thing you can discover when Parliament has its annual open day this Sunday, 7 November. A […]

Yep, that means Wellington has beaten out other little capital cities such as Vatican City, Dili, Kabul and Apia to be the […]

The not-so-secret lives of dancers
The Royal New Zealand ballet’s been getting itself all kinds of attention lately, like with their Lady Gaga dance on YouTube, and the TV show The Secret Lives of Dancers. In addition, The Nutcracker opens tonight – we’ll have a review for you next week, but if you can’t wait or can’t afford a ticket, […]
Flim Wellington!
We get to keep The Hobbit. Yay! Everyone has opinions on the matter, because everyone knows someone who’s worked on LOTR (my mum made some of the mugs in the “it comes in pints?” scene in the last movie). We’re stoked for the people who work in our film industry, but less impressed about the […]
