Music 101

1:20  What happened when The Rolling Stones went to Invercargill?

This weekend marks 60 years since The Rolling Stones toured New Zealand. It was the band's first visit to NZ and Australia and at time the longest travel they had undertaken in their career.

The tour included stops in Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch and Invercargill. 

Dave Hogan was there to meet The Rolling Stones at Invercargill airport in 1965 - wearing his school uniform - and later bumped into the band at a local tearoom. 

Dave joins Music 101 to share his memories of their legendary performance at the town's Civic Theatre.

Loud new band Elliot & Vincent (Elliot Finn and Vincent Cherry) join us in the Music 101 studio ahead of their Laneway set next week. The two piece rock ’n’ roll band have been turning heads with their ability to create a huge primal sound with just drums, guitar and a microphone. 

3.40  Review: Humanhood by The Weather Station

The music on Tamara Lindeman's latest is as tangled and windswept as her inner monologue, but it's always beautiful.
