The Hunt Brings Us Life

More NZ Music month good­ness is upon us, with the release of the Phoenix Foun­da­tion’s Samuel Fly­nn Scot­t’s solo album — ‘The Hunt Brings Us Life’.

Those of us lucky enough to receive sneak pre­view copies were also amused by the very excel­lent accom­pa­ny­ing press release cour­tesy of ‘Prof’ Rus­sell Brown, which we rec­om­mend you go to and read in its entire­ty over at Pub­lic Address. If only all musi­cal acts could approach their PR with such good humour. (Telling­ly enough, the last CD that had any­thing remote­ly as good was fel­low Phoene­cian Luke Buda’s PR for his also recent­ly released ‘Spe­cial Sur­prise’ album, which fea­tured pho­tos of Luke as Ram­bo and Her­cules (although not, we were dis­ap­point­ed to see, Ben­ny from Abba (although, we did fix that))).

As if all this Phoenix Foun­da­tion mem­bers doing their own thing was­n’t enough, we get the added bonus of a broad­cast of Scot­t’s oth­er ‘oth­er’ band — Bun­nies on Ponies — live at Bar Bode­ga, on Nation­al Radio tonight (web stream avail­able here). At 7:30pm. When … hold on … there’s some­thing else on .. around then? Any­way, Scott describes Bun­nies on Ponies as…
…hotch potch kind of folk band that com­bines gen­tle folk
songs with slight­ly aggres­sive impro­vised arrange­ments.We know exact­ly what he means. And, for those who don’t, you can just tune in and find out.
