Rock and pop on East FM, Saturday, high noon...

Phil from Farm Cove

Two completely different music acts who have in common they’re on the brink of new horizons – powerful rockers Black Smoke Trigger, and the flourishing Raging Flowers - feature on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time, April 13) on East FM.

Two completely different music acts who have in common they’re on the brink of new horizons – powerful rockers Black Smoke Trigger, and the flourishing Raging Flowers - feature on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time, April 13) on East FM.

There’ll also be new singles by Fin Rah Zel, and Karra Rhodes, and we’re overdue to play a few songs from In Green, the debut solo EP by drummer Taylor Griffin and a band of Kiwi legends.

We’ll be talking live at 2pm with Charlie Wallace of Black Smoke Trigger following the release of “an undeniably anthemic rock radio banger”, new single K.M.T.L.

Blackout Music NZ says “the Hawke’s Bay four-piece heavy-rock outfit continue to ride the high of their driving rock, anchored by the distinctive guitar work of Wallace and the commanding vocals of Baldrick, combined with their pummelling rhythm section, bassist Dan Fulton and drummer Josh Te Maro.

“Fast becoming known for not only churning out certified 10/10 arena ready rock bangers, Black Smoke Trigger are also quickly garnering a reputation for creating arresting and often death-defying music videos.”

K.M.T.L follows the success of earlier singles, Proof Of Life, Perfect Torture, and The Way Down, the video which saw the band perform at night, atop the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere, Sky Tower, with Wallace jumping off the edge, shredding a guitar solo whilst plummeting 630-feet and has now clocked up more than 1.3 million views on YouTube.

“The release sees Black Smoke Trigger continue to deliver on their promise of high-energy rock music that’s both entertaining and deeply relatable,” Blackout Music says.

Black Smoke Trigger are supporting Filter on the Australian and NZ legs of their Algorithm World Tour, and hit the road supporting Bruce Dickinson The Mandrake Project in the UK, France, and Holland this May. www.blacksmoketrigger.com....

Their debut, full length album Horizons is released later this year.

It’s an exciting time for Raging Flowers, aka Amy Wang, as she’s just released her debut four-song self-titled EP, and she’s joining us live in the East FM studio at 12.30pm to tell us all about it.

Chinese-Kiwi singer-songwriter-producer of Pakuranga, Raging Flowers’ main instrument is electric guitar.
Her website, www.ragingflowers.com... says: ‘She makes groovy genre-blending music that can be classified as jazzy self-help indie pop.’

‘Raging Flowers has had an unusual start to her music career. Although she's been a long-time music learner, she pursued a career in tech. She became a star programmer in various software fields including music, blockchain and AI. She even built and launched her own music-learning software, MusoPipe, while working part-time as a software engineer and training hard as a professional Muay Thai kick-boxing athlete.
‘Eventually, she got burnt out and had to stop to care for her body and mind. She leaned into creativity, got in touch with her feelings, got therapy, and finally came out the other side feeling recharged and wholesome.’

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. Providing a platform for NZ music and performing artists to exhibit their talents since ages ago. Ka pai. – PJ

At East FM, we love music and tracks recorded and pressed on vinyl records. So much so, that we're joining Vinylthon, a worldwide event on April 20-21, when radio stations around the world broadcast the playing of music on vinyl, for 24 massive record-spinning hours! Midday to midday.
The schedule of DJs is confirmed and they're all carefully organising what to play on the two turntables we'll be alternating between, just like in the olden days.
We understand we're one of only two radio stations in New Zealand participating in Vinylthon. A big thank-you to our Matt "Beagle" Everitt for his leadership on this project.

Scammers posing as Police officers

Be aware, pesky phone scammers’ latest move may be posing as Police officers seeking your financial details.

New Zealand Police are aware of reports emerging this month where Kiwis have been contacted on the phone by someone claiming to be an officer. The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you. This is a scam.

Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Bolton, from Auckland City’s Financial Crime Unit, says there have been at least a dozen reports made to Police, and these scam calls are largely being made to landlines. “While Police do not have accurate numbers of how many of these scam calls have been received, it is important that the public are aware,” he says. “Police will make some enquiries into these calls, but our experience has shown that often phone-based scammers will be operating from overseas. “We appreciate the vigilance of those who have contact Police so far, as this will help us to make others in the community aware.”

Unfortunately, scams can take many different forms and target victims on different platforms, Detective Senior Sergeant Bolton says. “Scammers are opportunistic and thrive off your trust and good-will. If you receive a call of this nature, do not hand over any personal details.”
New Zealand Police will never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, pin numbers or passwords. There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties. Police ask that the public remain vigilant.

𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿:
➡️Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, pin numbers or passwords over the phone.
➡️Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
➡️If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details. Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
➡️Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.
Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the NetSafe website.

𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗺:
Police are also aware of an email scam that has re-emerged, that claims to be authorities from Police and other justice sector partners. This scam has been subject of previous advisories. We continue to advise people to be extremely cautious when receiving unsolicited emails. Do not reply an the email of this nature under any circumstances.
