Angry Rabbit

Gordon's alive!

Also, our CD compilation from 2008 is now available to download. It costs you $10NZ for the whole shebang or $1NZ if you want to grab specific tracks. There are still two free downloads in there, Group Five's 'Everybody Looks Just Thrilled' and Fabian Tape's 'Last Weekend'.

Malty Media, New Zealand's answer to a question that has never been asked, provides Angry Rabbit with its latest release, Kleiner Wasserbär, an EP featuring five psychedelic delights. Check out the release page or the release's Bandcamp page.

While_You_Were_Sleeping, Wellington's loose collective of music-via-laptop producers, is having an outing next Sunday at Betty's on Blair Street. Three Angry Rabbit-affiliated groups will be in performance: Panoramica, Group Five, and Malty Media (Jet Jaguar and Aquaboogie).

Stuart has finished a collection of his more ambient material, Selected Ambient Whelks 2005-2009. Give it a listen, it's rather good.

It may also be the only New Zealand album to contain a reference to saveloys.  Another very important first for the Angry Rabbit stable, no doubt.

Group Five's Great Days collects, reworks and remasters tracks from his first two EPs. And if you download the full album, you get a free bonus album, containing five remixes (by Group Five, Jet Jaguar and Aquaboogie), and five original tracks. All this for NZ$10!

Aquaboogie ends a near 4 year absence in spectacularly strange style by releasing a double A-side musique concrete virtual single.

We close out 2009 with a new EP by Group Five, Retrenching.

You can name your price to download the thing at the above link.  Five tracks, showcasing a variety of summery moods, including the summery mood showcased on the cover, and sampling those funky cats Berg, Webern and even some great Britten.

Michael pulls out a new Jet Jaguar EP, his first for Angry Rabbit.  Check out the details of My Life In The Bush Out The Back Of My Place to confirm he's been doing something more than gardening.

We heads of the Rabbit are very happy to announce that you can now download Panoramica's sterling 'The Sounds of Dunedin'.  It's a fine collection of material by Wellingtonian Dan Smith, assembled from recordings made in and around Dunedin while he was living there.

We had a great time. Got a pretty good number of punters in. Andy set things off with that voodoo that he do, Malty Media got the crowd roaring with their Cadbury mashup, Jet Jaguar played a set of exquisite, shimmering beauty, and Panoramica gave us a weird, impressionistic montage of the sounds of Dunedin. Meanwhile, the ever reliable VJ Yetimon provided some truly psychedelic imagery, especially a surprisingly softporn Flake advert from the mid 1980s. Well done, that man. Honourable mentions too to Jay and Pete for providing sounds.
