The Rvmes, and Margaret Urlich tribute, on East FM, Saturday arvo
The Rvmes have a new single! Album’s on the way! So they’re the featured Kiwi artists; and we’re also celebrating the fabulous singing and musical talents of Margaret Urlich, on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) August 13 on East FM.
The Rvmes (pronounced rooms) rocked Howick last year at Uxbridge, when they were grabbing attention with the awesome talent and enthusiasm they have for putting on a high energy concert of pop-rock movers. Their music got lots of plays all over the country, with one song being used for a prominent advertising campaign, which hopefully is paying the bills.
We’ll be talking live with The Rvmes’ dynamic frontman of positivity, Edwin Judd (vocals, guitar), at 6pm, and we’ll spin their tracks throughout She’ll Be Right, including the new single, What’s Troublin’ You.
The Rvmes are completed by Miro Gibson (guitar), Ronaldo Lima (bass), Logan Fox (drums) and new guitarist Richard Moore.
Margaret Urlich, who sadly passed earlier this week, was a music legend on our home turf of Auckland’s central-western suburbs in the 1980s, and I’m pretty sure from memory she and her brother Pat were Avondale College alumni.
Our mate, drummer Gary Martin’s band Internal Fragments, opened for them on a few occasions, when Peking Man were on the rise. We got to see them up close and man, did everyone dance?! And then for Margaret came When’s The Cat’s Away and her stylish solo career. She was a class act.
The black and white photos featuring Margaret are from the original Stranded in Paradise book (1988), the cultural treasure by John Dix, New Zealand Rock’n’Roll 1955-1988.
We’ll also take the usual tour of the musical neighbourhoods, on the She’ll Be Right Show with PJ that beams out of East FM, East Auckland’s community-powered public service radio station, on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
