Formed in the Wellington, New Zealand suburb of Wainuiomata in late 1981 while in high school, at a time when Māori visibility in New Zealand’s punk, post-punk, and alternative music scene was rare, the young four piece VIETNAM notably featured two members of Ngāti Kahungunu: vocalist Shane Te Kawenata Bradbrook, and bassist/songwriter Adrian Workman; alongside co-founder/co-writer and guitarist PeteDransfield, and drummer Leon Reedijk. The original four piece immediately disbanded upon the release of the Vietnam EP (Jayrem Records, 1985). Thirty years later, the eponymous EP was rediscovered by bloggers, YouTubers, and record collectors in the US and Europe, becoming widely hailed as a “lost classic” of New Zealand music.  In late 2016, Spanish label BFE Records reissued Vietnam as a full-length LP, with the addition of bonus archival live and demo tracks.  To celebrate, the original bandmates reunited for the first time since 1985 in Wellington, NZ, to play what was intended as one last show in February of 2017. A roaring success, the reunion show encouraged the band to stay together long enough to create the new album called "This Quiet Room."https://vietnambandnz.comhttps://vietnamnz.bandcamp.com Subscribe to my monthly mailing list for the latest music news, updates and my next interviews and events:  http://eepurl.com/gtw6PP QUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna Every Saturday on ModSnap Radio KMOD: San Antonio Listen :   http://modsnapradio.com Playlist and podcast:    https://djnocturna.com YouTube:   https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturna

The legendary Jah Wobble, the original bassist of the postpunk band, Public Image Limited and folk-punk legends,  The Ukrainians released "Ukrainian National Anthem in Dub" feat. Jon Klein, (guitarist, Siouxsie and the Banshees) in support of UK-based war refugee charities.  I spoke with the Ukrainians' lead vocalist, Len Liggins regarding this collaboration.  Produced, recorded and mixed by Wobble and Klein, via Dimple Discs,  the idea for the song emerged when Wobble's bass tech suggested he do a collaboration with the Ukrainians, long time purveyors of traditional Ukrainians music, heavily influenced by western post punk.   The Ukrainians current line-up is Len Liggins, (lead vocal/violin)   Peter Solowka (acoustic guitar/backing vocals), Paul Weatherhead (backing vocal/mandolin) and Stephen Tymruk (Accordion). Sales and proceeds from the Ukrainians National Anthem in Dub will be donated to Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal and the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB) Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal.   To donate please go to the links below  https://ffm.to/jahwobbleukrainians https://jahwobble.com https://www.the-ukrainians.com ....T H A N K   Y O U   F O R   Y O U R   S U P P O R T......

I spoke with founding member David Mosey from NYC-based post punk alternative rock collective London Plane. The band will be releasing their new album called "Bright Black" on June 17, 2022 on Declared Goods.  London Plane is David Mosey (guitar and vocals), Jessica Cole (vocals), Bryan Garbe (drums), Grant Parker (bass), Julian Tulip (Synths) and Kristofer Widholm (guitar). Following the success of their debut album"New York Howl" in 2018, the band worked on new material in 2019 and early 2020. The result is "Bright Black'", an album packed with hope amidst cultural, sociopolitical, and ecological devastation, screaming a passionate battle cry back to the pop music spectrum. In effect, a hook-filled Avant-rock study in context and contradictions. The title track "Bright Black" at once an anti-war song, is a statement of hope - of brightness - amongst the invasion of darkness, both internal and external, imminent and eventual, this track sets the tone for the album as a whole.  "Francesco "is a haunting goth-dance anthem that channels through a Latin prism. Equally inspired by a cloth-covered 1970s diary by an immigrant, found among personal belongings discarded on a New York curb and the hospitalization of Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy on the eve of his NYC performance, "Francesco" spins the tale of Catholic Saint, stigmatist, levitator and mystic Padre Pio as a young man.https://www.londonplanemusic.comhttps://londonplane.bandcamp.com/musicSubscribe to my monthly mailing list for the latest music news, updates and my next interviews and events:http://eepurl.com/gtw6PPQUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna RemixedEvery Saturday on ModSnap RadioKMOD: San Antonio"San Antonio's leading alternative streaming Radio Station since 2017"Listen : http://modsnapradio.comPlaylist and podcast: https://djnocturna.comYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturna2pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST)#ModsnapRadio #Postpunk #goth #Industrial #Dark80s  #DarkWave #ethereal #darkelectronic#DJNocturna #DJNocturnapresentstheQueenofWands #LondonPlane #DavidMosey #ShamelessPromotionPR 

Drawing inspiration from Celtic, Nordic folk and electronica, Parabola West is the artist persona of New Zealand-based American singer and songwriter Amy Tucker West. Originally from Springfield, MA, Amy began songwriting on piano as a teenager and, at age 21, she was recruited into London-based trip-hop band Dreamfield. With two critically acclaimed releases to their credit before splitting in 2003, West relocated to New Zealand, taking a 10-year break from music to work in IT and engineering recruitment, returning to her musical roots in 2013 under the moniker Parabola West.   This is the soundtrack of Middle-Earth, mixed in with elements of Loreena McKennitt and female-fronted synth pop / indietronica. Living completely off-grid in an eco-home up a misty mountain, Parabola West is entirely self and fan-funded as a 100% independent artist with no label affiliation.   Parabola West released her debut 'Did You Hear?' EP in 2014, followed by her 'Purity of Weakness' EP in 2017. More recently, she also released "Stars Will Light The Way," a 13-track LP, all recorded at the healing frequency of 432Hz.   https://www.parabolawest.comhttps://parabolawest.bandcamp.com Subscribe to my monthly mailing list for the latest music news, updates and my next interviews and events: http://eepurl.com/gtw6PP QUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna  Every Saturday on Modsnap RadioKMOD: San Antonio Listen : http://modsnapradio.comPlaylist and podcast: https://djnocturna.comYouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturna #ModsnapRadio #Postpunk #goth #Industrial #Dark80s  #DarkWave #ethereal

The City of DJinn  project began as an invitation by Mickey Weems,  Project Coordinator to send Marwan Kamel and Micah Bezold to travel from Chicago to Hawaii to perform as the City of DJinn and bring Muslim musical artists to perform and discuss Islam, Sufism, mysticism and transgression to Hawaii. Weems submitted a proposal and was granted by SEEDS IDEAS and the Department of English at UH Manoa. Kamel and Bezold are both students of Sufism who take traditional Arabic music and give it an American twist as their version of drone rock.  When Covid 19  struck, it didn't stop the musical duo from completing the project and they started to work remotely and the collaboration extended to include some of the following artists: DJ Chris Chartier, hip-hop activist Navid Najafi, Poet Yasmine Ruhia, Sama Essa of Oman, DJ Russell Dement-Trent, DJ Yves Kline, violinist Patrick Park , KTUH Honolulu and myself, DJ Nocturna who helped coordinate the interviews. There's a whole list of people to thank for this project but it could not have been possible without the undying passion and dedication of Mickey Weems   Kamel and Bezold ground their music in the intricacies of maqam, the classical system of melodic modes in Arab music and Amercian rock. "I went through a punk phase," he recalled, but was not satisfied with American music and the instruments with  which he had become familiar, first the violin as a child, then the guitar. Eventually, he encountered his true love, the buzuq, a long necked string instrument found in Syria and Lebanon. As rooted as he is in classical Arabic music, one might suspect that his second love is innovation. But he finds much of his energy is dedicated to resurrection.  This multitasking duo, City of DJinn create post-Tarab - a longform sonic tapestry of dark, psychedelic, drone rock that draws from experimental music vernacular as well maqam tradition. Their arsenal of instruments ranges from electric buzuq, modified quarter-tone acoustic-electric guitar, violin, fretless electric guitar, foot pedal drums/cymbals, darbuka, daf, DIY stompbox and samplers.  https://cityofdjinn.bandcamp.com/releases https://somnimage.bandcamp.com/album/city-of-djinn Subscribe to my monthly mailing list for the latest music news, updates and my next interviews and events: http://eepurl.com/gtw6PP QUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna  Every Saturday on Modsnap Radio KMOD: San Antonio "San Antonio's leading alternative streaming Radio Station since 2017" Listen : http://modsnapradio.com Playlist and podcast: https://djnocturna.com YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DJNocturna 2pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST)

Melbourne's Suburban Spell,  also known as Peter Endall is a veteran of Australia's new wave, synthpop, post-punk scene since the 1980s. Formerly the keyboardist for the popular 80s Melbourne band, Schizo Scherzo, Suburban Spell was taken from a line in the 1986 Pet Shop Boys hit single, "Suburbia."
