    • No more Fringe Festival??
      • That evil global economic downturn is looking to strike again, and this time the unfortunate victim may just be Wellington’s Fringe Festival. After well over a decade of entertaining the masses with some weird and wonderful antics, the Fringe may be abandoned as of next year, due to an overall lack of funding. The Fringe Arts Trust is in dire need of money, as budget cuts have already affected thi

    • Filmmaking Insights - An Evening With Sima Urale
      • Filmmaker Sima Urale is one of the best filmmakers of her generation presently working in New Zealand. One of the hardest things for a filmmaker to master is not only to tell a good story, but to translate it successfully via moving images. Urale's films which include the excellent shorts Still Life, Coffee and Alah and O Tamati (which won the Leone d'Argento or Silver Lion Award in Venice) are fi

    • BIG BANGS!
      • It's time to celebrate that time when the crazy anarchist tried to blow up British parliament again. The Pelorus Trust Sky Show will be lighting Wellington skies on Wednesday night for Guy Fawkes.  Prepared by world-renowned fireworks maestro Robert McDermott, the show will start at 9pm and will run for about 15 minutes to a soundtrack broadcast on Classic Hits and ZM, with fireworks set off around the harbour. Around 100,000 spectators are expected to show up for the big bangs, so get there early to grab a good spot, or head to the hills for the best views. Also, to get into the party vide, before the fireworks, check out The Ride Of Your Life Spectacle, a three-hour show featuring live music from the Beatles Review and the Beat Girls at Frank Kitts park. This show will also have choreographed water-sports performances from jet-skiers, wake-boarders, Thunder Cats and more. It's to raise money for the Wellington Free Ambulance, so donate a gold coin. This show starts at 6pm. And don't forget that 24-hour liquor ban that applies in the central city area, Oriental Bay and on the Mt Victoria summit, so no sneaky beers. -Stacey

    • Weta reform and announce gig date
      • They’re back.  Wellington rockers Weta have reformed and are about to hit the San Fran Bath House for a massive gig on November the 21st. The local guitar heroes first blew up (In terms of fame) after their debut album, Geographica, was released in 2000.  The following year they blew up again, but this time it was the band being blown into pieces - with Weta front man, Aaron Tokona, thought to have stopped believing in what he was doing and calling an end to Weta as a group. But that was then and this is now.  I’ve seen the boys in action a few time, and let me just say that they have always played with a fire and passion most other musicians would kill for.  They’ve played support for acts such as the Foo Fighters and Soundgarden – not to mention Wellington’s favorite sons, Shihad, and have always matched the bigger names for their intensity. Make no mistake; this gig will be a SELL OUT.  Be in quick to get your tickets, lest you miss the return of an iconic Wellington band. It’s going to be huge. -Darren
