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...

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
