Sine Wave-Music Concert- Sat, Feb 9th
When: Saturday February 9th, Victoria On The River,
7pm, free concert.
If raining the event will be rescheduled.
Press Release:
Victoria on the River will soon be filled with the weird and wonderful sounds of some of Hamilton’s finest ambient and electronic musicians.
Sine Wave is the first of a series of free outdoor concerts in Hamilton’s central city, organised by the Hamilton Live Music Trust.
Rather than focusing on accessible pop or rock, Sine Wave will focus on ambient and electronic musicians (to be clear, not DJs or electronic dance music), blending organic and synthetic sounds into a range of musical soundscapes.
Sine Wave features musical performances from Dr Mesmer’s Private Army, Noise Control (an ensemble, not the council enforcement officers!) and Thom Burton.
Bring along your dinner or some snacks and attend a musical event that promises to be a little different, a little bit weird, but a totally unforgettable experience
Musical acts:
Dr Mesmer’s Private Army
It may sound a bit like a private paramilitary organisation, but it is in fact some of Hamilton’s finest musicians teamed up together to create a supergroup of sorts, featuring Dr Jeremy Mayall, Kent Macpherson, Paul Bradley and Eszter Le Couteur-McComb. Dr Mesmer’s is a true multimedia experience – the band feature live drawing and animation by local artist Pauly B, whose artwork is featured on many buildings in central Hamilton. A true audio-visual experience that has to be seen and heard.

He is a member of SoccerPractise, who have received accolades from music critics across the country, a former member of Hamilton-based duo Yokel Ono, and he has previously performed solo under the alias Moppy.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
