AHoriBuzz
Aaron Tokona has made his musical mark under a variety of guises: as frontman for rock quartet Weta, guitar slinger-for-hire with Bongmaster and Fly My Pretties, and as co-pilot for hard rock duo, Cairo Knife Fight. It’s with his own project, AHoriBuzz, however that Tokona is in full control for the first time. Currently crisscrossing the country on an epic 53-date run of shows dubbed Nation of the State, Tokona checks in with Sam Wicks about his unfiltered, undiluted approach to music and opinion making.

Rackets live at The Kings Arms
When Auckland rock’n’roll trio Rackets – Oscar, Vince and Jeremy – dropped their new Bob Frisbee-produced LP Walking the Skeleton, they promptly embarked on a 20-date tour of their hometown of Auckland City. One of their stops included live music destination, The Kings Arms. Radio New Zealand’s Andre Upston caught their raucous set for Music 101.
