Eastern music favourites on East FM, Saturday from 3pm
Pop-rock livewires The Rvmes and down-home favourites The Nukes are the Kiwi feature musicians on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time, April 15) on East FM.
It’s always exciting times for The Rvmes ( www.thervmes.co.nz... ), one of the hardest-working bands during the summer, and another new single is out this Thursday, April 20. And! If we’re really fortunate, Edwin Judd, frontman for The Rvmes, may let us play a sneak preview of Say Something after we talk with him at 4pm.
Also stoked to feature The Nukes ( www.thenukes.co.nz... ) again after a good-few years and are chatting live to Ben Collier at 5pm about the band’s summer and fantastic album released not so long ago, Homespun.
They’re fresh off performances at the Canterbury Folk Festival last weekend. And, as Megan Peacock-Coyle of the Oamaru Opera House says: “The Nukes blew the audiences’ socks off with the combination of humour, fantastic songwriting, great musicianship and singing.”
In and around spotlight times for The Rvmes and The Nukes, we’ll zip around a few more musical neighbourhoods.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
