Elston Gun to blast Christchurch “Peow! Peow!”

Holy smokes yo! Wellington outfit Elston Gun, who now features CHCH’s very own Tom from The Deceivers, are gonna be hitting The Bedford in Christchurch on Friday 23rd October! Elston Gun are a very slick rock’n’roll machine indeed and are inspired by the likes of the Queens of the Stone Age, The Kings of Leon, The Bronx, The Black Keys and of course the mighty Jimi Hendrix. Joining them from the garden city will be T54, Pikachunes, and myself, Dr Hitchcock.

T54 are a newish band on the CHCH scene and blew the punters away at the RDU RounD-Up band competition final, they didn’t win but heaps of cats thought they should’ve. And then there is Pikachunes aka Miles McDougall. This started as a solo project when Miles was laid up in bed after an unfortunate gaming accident (pika-pika), poor old Miles came off a little singed after going head-to-head with a raging flame-o-saurus. He also did quite well in RDU’s band comp winning the inaugural “Best Demo” compeition for his song “fire”. Oh yeah, I’m gonna be closing the night with a DJ Set of party rock’n’roll’n’what-not… any requests? Leave them below in the comments or tweet me baby @starliftertv ***

Ajax is coming to Christchurch… FUCK YEAH!

Hey there! Freakin’ rad news! For the first time evers Ajax, one of the most rockin’ electro mother fuckin’ DJs from Melbourne, will soon be playing some sweet, groovy and stonkin’ beats at Base in Christchurch (with many thanks to Samuel from YMC and Paul from Epaulette.tv). This is a big deal. I saw him play at Parklife 2007 while living in Melbourne and he played one of my favourite sets that day, up there with Digitalism and Justice. His DJ sets are a continual jam of electro bangers, indie-rock cock-flogs, and sexy arse sound assassinations. To hear what this guys all about tune into www.StarlifterRadio.com where his “dance til dawn – directors cut” DJ mix is on HIGH rotate. There is also a rumor that he’s gonna be making a cameo on RDU.org.nz. Ajax hangs out with the Bang Gang crew, is good friends with the cats at Modular Records and also runs a label called “Sweat It out” which has one of my other Aussie faves, Gameboy/Gamegirl, signed to it. Fucking yeah!

Here’s the deets:

Gun Metal Tour from Jem the Misfit on Vimeo.

After three years of hosting Wellington’s premier Club night, and a year smashing Melbourne the Gun Metal crew will be presenting their new integrated audio-visual show with a 10 day tour of New Zealand!

The tour – landing September 2009, hosts the team Kill Me DJ, Samari and Jem the Misfit!

Based in Australia, the three have already received acclaim for their production and ground breaking A/V performance’s. Jem the Misfit being the winner of Pioneer’s Pro DJ competition for visuals, Kill Me DJ having tracks released on Kitsune and Samari doing remixes for Pitch Black and Pig Out.

The sound looks beyond the fidget beats of Baltimore and into the stratosphere of tunes being played by the likes of ZZT, Oizo, Boys Noize, Edjotronic, Proxy and more.
Brandishing their metallic edged sound + visual experience across New Zealand, the crew will be playing four of the country’s top clubs and reaping havoc on the way!

Get set to experience a pumping four hour ride through audio warfare and visual carnage that is set to re-interpret club culture… This tour will be nothing but Gun Metal!!!

With special thanks to Wicked Campers for the tour bus, Radio Active, RDU, Radio 1 and RedBull.
