NZ Music Month continues on East FM, today Saturday from 3pm
For Today (I remember your smile) is one of this country's enduring feel-good anthems from the 1980s and it's with great pleasure that we have one of the song's writers and performers, Nick Sampson, as our next NZ Music Month feature artist on today’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm on May 13 on EAST FM 88.1 107.1
Forty years ago, and out of Dunedin, the Netherworld Dancing Toys were playing energetic and captivating concerts around the country, quickly growing in popularity following a memorable performance at Sweetwaters 1983, with Nick and the late-great Malcolm Black upfront on vocals, guitars and most of the songwriting duties.
We're stoked to be talking with Nick live in the studio from 3.15pm and playing tracks by the Netherworld Dancing Toys, as well as chatting about other phases and bands in his very interesting musical journey, including DIRT and his newly-formed band in Auckland, Jeepster, with Steven Shaw and Tim Robinson.
We'll also play the NDTs' well-admired album Painted Years (Virgin Records, 1985) on vinyl in entirety from 5pm.
At 4.45pm, we're also talking with Anthony McVey of an Auckland band from the same era, Plastic Pegs, who are having another reunion concert at The Thirsty Dog in Karangahape Rd on Saturday, May 27. For tickets for that show, go to www.undertheradar.co.nz...
Coincidentally, Plastic Pegs opened for Netherworld Dancing Toys at the Windsor Castle in Parnell back in the day.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station broadcasting on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She'll Be Right - it's all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday it's with great respect to have Nick Sampson and Netherworld Dancing Toys Day. - PJ
