Nights for Friday 2 September 2016

7:07 Sonic Tonic

Music with magic and mischief spun into an surreal sensation of mayhem and maybe magnificence. Tonight it's all about dads.

8:12 Nights' Sport - Roller Derby

Mia Weatherall AKA Sweet Mama Mia and Jo Moar AKA Gruvie roll into the studio to talk Roller Derby ahead of Saturday's clash between the Richter City All Stars and the Auckland Roller Derby League.

8:30 Spotlight

King Loser, 2016 Comeback Special. King Loser's mesmerising mix of snappy surf guitar, sloppy drones, reckless rock'n'roll and croony covers stood them apart from their local contemporaries in the early mid-'90s. The nucleus of the group - multi-instrumentalist Celia Patel (a.k.a. Mancini, aka Pavlova) and guitarist Chris Heazlewood - had five prolific years making music together, but volatile chemistry and self-destructive tendencies took their toll. Now King Loser are about to tread the boards again. How will their reunion play out?

9:07 Country Life 

Country Life heads out to Whareroa Farm just north of Wellington. Where 5,000 American soldiers were based during WW II is now a maze of mountain biking tracks and farmland open to the public.

10:17 Late Edition

A roundup of today's RNZ News and feature interviews as well as Date Line Pacific from RNZ International.

11:07 The Friday Finale
