It’s not every day you get to see a founder of The Wu Tang Clan play in small-town New Zealand! GZA + DJ Mathematics + Ohakune = Good times AS! Quite a thing to witness! I felt very lucky to be there. If only it didn’t turn into such an encore-less autograph-fest so quickly… More photos below (the one of GZA wiping his nose is a personal favourite)…
Video by Leah Robertson. A Dead Forest Index are looking to record a new album by the end of the year. Stay tuned!
Grieve Pde have come the long way from Melbourne for these shows, check them out in Auckland tonight if you’re in the vicinity! Many thanks to Dave from No Way Sweden and 500$Limit for bringing the good times!
Thanks to everyone who came out and to Laurel Carmichael for the lovely photos! If anyone got any snaps of Paperghost, please flick them our way!

You may have heard of Liam Kendall from his other projects such as Pan and The Story of Iceland. Pan was a fairly low key noise affair in which Liam would make sour and sweet ambient numbers which would quickly end. Music best suited for wasted shin digs below a tree. However trading in his Jag, Space echo and other delay pedals for an Akai MPD32 and a Micro Korg, Forest Spirits is born!
…. breathes heavily, panting through up beat soul fucking anthems, twisted dance beats and cascading arpeggios, Forest Spirits has produced a wonderful EP (Though at 34 mins it could be called otherwise). Composed via Ableton Live using a range of samples taken from soundtracks of films made in the 1930s we find ourselves immersed in music which is balancing between pop and the style of some sort of 21-year-old channeling a child on amphetamines. ENJOY!!
