SUPPORT THE SUPPORT
Do you guys ever review the New Zealand support bands for the overseas acts who play here? I ask this because at the Infectious Grooves/Cyco Miko gig in Auckland, there was a New Zealand support band called Jungle Tongue who never even got a mention in Greg Hammerdown's review.
OK, nine out of 10 people are going to these gigs to see the big bands that come out, but there are soooo many New Zealand bands out there that aren’t even getting mentioned. Why don’t you give them a break? If they’re good enough to play support for these bands, don’t you think they’re good enough to be reviewed? Ange. Editor replies: Occasionally a writer misses the local support act if a gig starts unusually early, as was the case with Infectious Grooves. RipltUp reviewers on a whole endeavour not to miss New Zealand support acts.
