Hoodoo Gurus Day on East FM, Saturday arvo from 3pm...
Bloody rain. Anyway, it’s Australia’s mighty Hoodoo Gurus Day on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM. Bewdy.
The Hoodoos play two Auckland shows next week – Wednesday with Silk Cut at Paraoa Brewing, Whangaparaoa; and next Thursday’s sold-out concert at the Powerstation, with Blam Blam Blam (!). Then they head south for Selwyn Sounds and Hutt Sounds.
Tickets at www.plus1.co.nz... and they’re doing other great shows now and beyond – 10CC, Henry Rollins, Proclaimers, Madeleine Peyroux, Mi-Sex and Stellar, The Stranglers and Greg Johnson.
For She’ll Be Right, we’ll play tracks from the five Hoodoo Gurus albums we’ve played a hundred times – Mars Needs Guitars, Stoneage Romeos, Blow Your Cool, Magnum Cum Louder, and Kinky – and requests are encouraged, especially what to play from the new HG album, Chariot of the Gods. Listening to it now.
We’ll also touch down in some other musical neighbourhoods in between.
East FM is East Auckland’s dedicated 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. And this Saturday, we’re back to head banging to the Hoodoo Gurus. – PJ
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!
