Youth and experience shine on East FM, Saturday arvo...
Another rising star and a classic Kiwi album hit the spotlight on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
To make us feel better after the sad news that the Auckland Blues Festival is postponed until the new year, young gun Marianne Leigh is returning to tell us about her new single CRAZY GF – and we get a first live-to-air play (they used to call that an exclusive, back in the day).
Marianne Leigh will be live in the studio from 4pm to bring us up to date with what’s been happening in her exciting musical life.
And, from 5pm, we’re spinning in entirety John Hanlon’s famous album Higher Trails, as we build up for his special concert at The Lounge in Howick on November 19. Higher Trails was this country’s best album in 1975.
Marianne, at 19, is from Auckland and already has 10 songs on Spotify. That’s cool. There’s other platforms, too. CRAZY GF, officially out on November 18, is “compelling punk-pop” produced by Emily Wheatcroft-Snape and Nate Selway.
Getting serious, the track “gives a voice for the uncomfortable emotions we suppress, the lyrics untangling toxicity, jealousy, and spite”.
She says it’s a new direction in styles, “steering away” from her indie-pop roots.
“The crazy girlfriend character in the media is a common trope, and something that has always bothered me. The joke is outdated, and a ridicule of female emotional expression. I wanted to write a song about this character and my frustrations surrounding it.”
Marianne Leigh celebrates her release of CRAZY GF at UNDERGROUND alongside Kiwi acts Wednesday’s Girlfriend and ISLA on Nov 18.

She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, we’re heading to higher trails. – PJ

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?
How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.
Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.
But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
