Eastern music favourites on East FM, Saturday from 3pm
Pop-rock livewires The Rvmes and down-home favourites The Nukes are the Kiwi feature musicians on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time, April 15) on East FM.
It’s always exciting times for The Rvmes ( www.thervmes.co.nz... ), one of the hardest-working bands during the summer, and another new single is out this Thursday, April 20. And! If we’re really fortunate, Edwin Judd, frontman for The Rvmes, may let us play a sneak preview of Say Something after we talk with him at 4pm.
Also stoked to feature The Nukes ( www.thenukes.co.nz... ) again after a good-few years and are chatting live to Ben Collier at 5pm about the band’s summer and fantastic album released not so long ago, Homespun.
They’re fresh off performances at the Canterbury Folk Festival last weekend. And, as Megan Peacock-Coyle of the Oamaru Opera House says: “The Nukes blew the audiences’ socks off with the combination of humour, fantastic songwriting, great musicianship and singing.”
In and around spotlight times for The Rvmes and The Nukes, we’ll zip around a few more musical neighbourhoods.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
