Vale Martin Phillipps

Our friend Martin Phillipps died at his Dunedin home on the weekend. He was 61 years old. Martin and his band, the Chills, were an integral part of the 1980s Dunedin scene and of the bigger Flying Nun Records family. Martin was a single-minded talent who took all components of a musical career seriously: song writing, performance and in the studio. Demanding of perfection in others and himself, songs such as ‘Rolling Moon’, ‘Pink Frost’, ‘I Love My Leather Jacket’ and ‘Heavenly Pop Hit’ were increasingly commercially successful and helped define the best of New Zealand music in the 1980s. This last song and its album, Submarine Bells, almost broke the band internationally. After a pause, he then pulled himself up to reinvigorate the Chills and his career in the mid 2010s. With a stable unchanging band line up Martin once again was producing fine new albums and undertaking extensive New Zealand and international tours. Gone too soon, he will be greatly missed.

Tonight we remember the zoo. Brisbane's iconic live music venue of 32 years announced this week that it was ceasing operations, leaving the local music community in a state of disbelief.

Catch you at 6pm rabbits! 🐇 😎

20/04/2024

Tonight! A theme of B-Sides, Rarities and Demos - very fitting for Record Store Day. Somewhat of a lost art in the age of streaming, the humble B-Side was a necessity on the flip side of a 7" single. Every once in a while, the B-Side (often an album track), became more popular than the A-Side. We'll bring these songs to the front tonight on Heyday from 6pm on 102.1fm. 😎☎️📻🎧

The book also contains essays by Robert Forster and John himself, who were musicians in the scene at the time. A show not to miss for lovers of Brisbane's music history. Tune in from 6pm on 102.1fm on 4zzz

Tonight on Heyday, we'll be joined in studio by Emma, bassist of Meanjin's post-punk/noise rock quartet, Start Together.
