Demonstrating once again the enormous diversity of the Otepoti Dunedin music scene of 2024, today Ian Chapman showcases new music from four very different acts.
From the infectious swamp rockabilly of Bulletproof Convertible - a hugely danceable live act currently making a splash with their series of 'Dead Rocker's Ball' shows in rural towns - to the beautifully haunting Cohen-esque songwriting and silky vocals of Leigham Fitzpatrick; the extraordinary reinvention of Dunedin drumming legend Marcel Rodeka (of 1970s Mother Goose fame) with his remarkable debut solo EP, and the sophisticated pop/goth electronica of Elenor Rayner's Robots in Love, this morning's music spot truly has it all.
Ian Chapman is honorary Senior Research Fellow in Music at the University of Otago.
