Black Chrome @ The Globe 20 April 2006

24 Apr 2006 // A review by Shade
Black Chrome played as a support act for The Bleeders at their Palmerston North gig @ The Globe on Thursday the 20th of April 2006.

After seeing Black Chrome play live in the Square as a support act for Shihad, I knew that they were the best local act to open for The Bleeders. Within seconds of starting, the crowd left their seats to be as close to the stage as they could get and had started singing along to the songs that they all knew so well. From the word go, Black Chrome proved that they were worthy of this slot and no other band could have worked up the crowd like they did.

With loyal hardcore fans who come to every BC gig moshing it up, it wasn't hard to get involved in the music and I soon caught myself singing along. You cannot mistake the hard-hitting, power-driven lyrics and hot-blooded music that is Black Chrome.

The PA system at The Globe gave Black Chrome's music the justice it deserved. Their sound was well-rehearsed and it showed.

Next time these guys play in a town near you, make sure you go along and see them. Seeing Black Chrome play live is something that everyone should experience at least once, although once you have heard them play live you will want to hear them again and again.

Best Black Chrome song of the night: My Band.

Eqwanox @ The Royal, PN - 12 June 2010
28 Jun 2010 // by Shade
I had the absolute pleasure of being invited along to see Eqwanox perform live at The Royal in Palmerston North on 12 June 2010, and I was more than impressed with the Waikato boys tight and epic performance. Not only were their songs inspirational, with lyrics that many of us could relate to, but what I saw that night was so compelling and memorable, I find myself wanting to tell the world about them.

Mercury Crowe - Set Your Mind To Fly Album Review
08 Jun 2009 // by Shade
Mercury Crowe are a straight-ahead rock band. They are straight ahead, though, not in that their songs lack inventiveness or freshness, but in the sense that they clearly just want to write good tunes.

"True story: I received this five-song EP before Christmas, played it a bit then put on the "get to" pile -which meant it was ignored in the Christmas shuffle. The other day I pulled it out to enjoy again and post this week when an e-mail arrived from this Auckland singer-songwriter asking (politely) if I might be interested in writing about it.

The Black Seeds - 'Into The Dojo'
12 Nov 2006 // by Shade
With their third studio album released recently, The Black Seeds have definitely made an impact in the New Zealand music scene. Established in the sound of roots and dub - more so the latter - Into The Dojo consists of The Black Seeds’ essence however it is refined to a smoother, crisper sound.

Gianmarco Liguori Review
23 Oct 2006 // by Shade
Some weeks ago I mentioned having seen the group Dukes of Leisure play at the Auckland Observatory Skydome. On the same bill was Salon Kingsadore, also enjoying an appropriately spacey venue for music that took off on instrumental astral flights.

Agent - 'Expand/Contract'

Hard, raw and dark. The impressive sound that is Agent will leave you feeling satisfied, but you will still want to hear more.
