Sub Depot in association with 95bFM Presents Reggae Rodeo 10th Birthday Bash - September 21 at Galatos!

A Reggaematical combination with three of Aotearoa’s finest reggae artists all coming together under one roof for a night of deadly roots, rub-a-dub and dancehall business. The baddest riddim builder out of Whanganui, Naram (Red Robin Records, Jahtari), will be performing a rare live dub set alongside two of Aotearoa’s most accomplished MCs (who also happen to be father and son) - the veteran Mighty Asterix and his prodigy, Israel Starr, who now stands tall as a leading figure in the evolution of NZ reggae (and beyond).

Toro y Moi’s new album ‘Hole Erth’ might represent his boldest musical pivot to date, and this week it’s 95bFM’s Album of the Week!

Speaking about the album and its genesis, Bear shares: "I hope you enjoy this suburban anthem, growing up, the often-controversial-line between mainstream and underground artists was so defined but now that line has become so blurred I can't even tell what I like anymore...sometimes."

Thank god this album is coming out because a lot of us are well overdue for some yeehaw yearning. This week’s Album of the Week is MJ Lenderman’s ‘Manning Fireworks’ 💿

MJ lets us in on his frank observations on the intersection of wit and sadness. The punchlines from his previous albums are still here, as are the rusted-wire guitar solos that have made him a favourite for indie rock fans looking for an emerging guitar hero.

❤︎ 95bFM Presents Mannequin P***y - Friday 13 December at The Tuning Fork

MANNEQUIN P***Y are heading south to New Zealand for the first time ever in celebration of their I Got Heaven album tour.

Their new album has over 10 ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.

Oto started at bFM last year in the 95bFM News team and hosts The Wire on Wednesdays. Jaycee began volunteering this year in our video team as a videographer and editor. Special shoutouts to their friends Kees, Smashton & Big J for getting them both into bFM! (Legends). Beyond the bFM walls, both of them make and produce music 🎧

Part of his 10:10:10 series, Troy Kingi’s latest album ‘Leatherman & the Mojave Green’ is our Album of the Week this week 💿

A homecoming of sorts for Troy, returning to the genre of music that ultimately enticed him into the music industry, rock music. This album contains a myriad of stories, one in particular talking of the Sunshine Community Cult tattooing their eyeballs allowing them to stare at the sun and receive its many blessings.
