- Tiger Tones @ San Fran Bathhouse, Wellington
Review by Darlene Brown
I was sent the new Tiger Tones track “Short Thing” to review; and although it has been a while since I’ve seen these guys play I’m not surprised at where the sound of this innovative and talented group has progressed. Short Thing is a step sideways with less punk and more dance, with that undeniable Tiger Tones bassline keeping things steady. Picture this: a man driving down an American boulevard, top down with big black square wrap-around sunglasses talking on a brick cellphone. That’s just the drumfill. The rest of the track gives a nod to early Pig Out and LCD Soundsystem. The vocals remind me of Arthur Russell.
If this is a taste of a 2010 album, I’m excited!

Markj @ Mixtape Connection 2009
Hey party peeps!
Last week (early December 2009) Markj graced StarlifterRadio.com with 2 sets of doof goodness. Set 1 was on the Deep tip and set 2 was on the Tech tip. Yeah! Here is set 1 entitled ‘Cuddle Puddle’ and one of the best sets I’ve heard from him in ages. It’s been on the StarlifterRadio.com playlist for the last week or so and cats have been raving about it! Markj’s mixing style has pizzaz, precise technique with an element of fun.

Man there’s been heaps happening on Starlifter.TV over the past 6 months. One of the parts of the website that has been just ticking over in the background is the Gig Guide, which can be found here: http://Starlifter.TV/gigguide. Every week I pick around 10 gigs throughout New Zealand (and sometimes around the world) that get the Starlifter.TV stamp of approval and stick them there. If you would like your gig or event considered for the Starlifter.TV Gig Guide upload it to Mukuna.co.nz if it’s in NZ or if it’s in another part of the world simply email it to: drh (at) starlifter.tv
And some even more exciting news is that as of yesterday I have optimised Starlifter.TV for mobile devices. What this means is that when you visit Starlifter.TV on your iPhone, iPod Touch, mobile device or mobile phone, the page should load uber fast and not use up heaps of data. This is particularly helpful when you’re downtown wherever and looking for something to do, you can just plug Starlifter.TV/gigguide into your device and get the latest on what’s happening, CHOICE!
