Dimmer & HDU - Planetarium, Auckland, 1999
Dimmer and HDU played the Auckland Planetarium in 1999.
Heavy hazy psych space (inspired) rock.
Handheld to C90. Not a terrible recording, for a change. Good enough to take you 'there'.
HDU in their element.

The Decayes - Ten Guitars (Jayrem Records JDK1, LP, NZ, 1983)
The Decayes were a loose L.A. based experimentalist collective centered around Ron Kane in Southern California.
Excerpt from Gary Steel's AudioCulture profile:
The last Decayes album, Ten Guitars (1983) was only released in New Zealand, and Jayrem boss James Moss can still be heard quietly complaining that it was the worst selling item in his catalogue. Kane turned up in New Zealand in early January 1983, intending to get his latest album pressed here, but finding all the pressing plants closed. Moss agreed to take on the project, and I have to confess that I played a small part in it: helping to “design” the cover. As Kane notes in the liner notes to the 2004 CD reissue of horNetZ, “The cover was designed in one afternoon with my friend, journalist Gary Steel – we were not thinking about anything. The original title of the illustration was ‘Clown Vomit’. For the back cover of the LP, we had some circles left over. We placed them randomly. Years later, I was asked why we put a map of France on the LP cover.”
Explaining the origin of the album’s name, Kane writes: “I asked Gary, ‘what would I have to name an LP to get New Zealanders interested in it?’ He said Ten Guitars, which was a song by Engelbert Humperdinck that was popular among Maoris (New Zealand’s indigenous people). It was our first printed cover!”

The Gordons - Volume 2 (GORDONS 3, LP, NZ, 1984)
Not my favourite Gordons moment (or theirs??), but it's The Gordons, so it's worth a listen.
Bad form.. I normally post an original photo of the artwork. No time today.

Dimmer - First shows, Empire Tavern, 17/18 Jun 1994
Here's the first incarnation of Dimmer, recorded over two winter nights at the Empire Tavern in Dunedin.
Shayne Carter, Lou Allison, Peter Jefferies and on the second night Alf Danielson.
The quality of my personal live tape recordings is variable, and the first night is the crap end of the scale. The walkman could have been in my pocket, but it's in the room at least. The recording stops at 27 minutes, which is possibly why I returned the following night to record the second show. Good thing - better recording, and even complete. Worth hearing for Carter's stoned banter hahahah.
He spoke recently at the Word Festival to a packed theatre for the launch of his book Dead People I Have Known (here's a review).
Snippets from Shayne Carter's conversation with WORD Christchurch Literary Director and writer Rachael King
Shayne Carter’s rock’n’roll memoir, and stories from someone who was there - Rachael King in The Spinoff, 4 Jul 2019
We talked after for about 5 seconds as he signed the book, when I told him I had this recording. His reservation was old recordings suffer from not having images. You can conjure your own images and make your mind up. To me it's great raw history.
