Awesome, driving Indie rock on East FM, this Saturday arvo
Been waiting for the right day to play one of my favourite albums of the past few years and today we’re spinning These Times by The Dream Syndicate (Anti, 2019) on this arvo’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) July 30 on East FM.
The Dream Syndicate are cultured sonic Indie rockers out of Los Angeles, originally active in the 1980s, and after decades in hibernation they reformed in 2012 and have been very prolific, with Steve Wynn, the principal writer, pumping out ample songs for the band and solo works.
To celebrate their California homecoming concerts this week (oh to be there), we’re playing These Times in entirety at 5pm. Think clean, driving, guitar-led, tight psychedelic jam rock with awesome melody lines and lyrics.
We’ll also play awesome tracks released around the world over the past decade, and visit a few more familiar musical neighbourhoods, too.
The She’ll Be Right Show with PJ beams out of East FM, East Auckland’s community-powered public service radio station, on local frequencies 88.1FM and 107.1FM, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
East FM is proudly the official broadcaster for www.howick175.co.nz...
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.

Some Choice News!
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!
