Firstly The Benka Boradovsky Bordello Band with, Polkapocalyptic. The Benkas travelled to Berlin earlier this year and while they were ther they made this video with Nathan Taare and Dylan Bakker from Sumone Productions. The story goes that he video was filmed over 5 days but the unfunded production ran to 4 months due to all sorts of unforeseen and unfortunate mishaps including spontaneous pneumo-thorax’s (collapsed lungs) and exploding cameras. Edited from a hospital bed in East Berlin and funded by weekly busking sessions terrorised by Neo-Nazis, the music video continues a long tradition of kiwi ingenuity and tomfoolery.

And finaly Renee-Louise Carafice with Lorazopam. This is the fourth single from her debut album Tells You to Fight which was recently included in Nick Bollinger’s new book 100 Essential New Zealand Albums.
Renee-Louise Carafice is a dark-folk-pop songstress born in New Zealand, based in Chicago. With a bitingly honest and brutally fragile voice, she sings of her messy rollercoaster ride of a life, over rich and complex melodic structures.
