When: Saturday February 9th, Victoria On The River,
7pm, free concert.
If raining the event will be rescheduled.

Press Release:
Victoria on the River will soon be filled with the weird and wonderful sounds of some of Hamilton’s finest ambient and electronic musicians.

Sine Wave is the first of a series of free outdoor concerts in Hamilton’s central city, organised by the Hamilton Live Music Trust.

Rather than focusing on accessible pop or rock, Sine Wave will focus on ambient and electronic musicians (to be clear, not DJs or electronic dance music), blending organic and synthetic sounds into a range of musical soundscapes.

Sine Wave features musical performances from Dr Mesmer’s Private Army, Noise Control (an ensemble, not the council enforcement officers!) and Thom Burton.

Bring along your dinner or some snacks and attend a musical event that promises to be a little different, a little bit weird, but a totally unforgettable experience

Musical acts:

Dr Mesmer’s Private Army
It may sound a bit like a private paramilitary organisation, but it is in fact some of Hamilton’s finest musicians teamed up together to create a supergroup of sorts, featuring Dr Jeremy Mayall, Kent Macpherson, Paul Bradley and Eszter Le Couteur-McComb. Dr Mesmer’s is a true multimedia experience – the band feature live drawing and animation by local artist Pauly B, whose artwork is featured on many buildings in central Hamilton. A true audio-visual experience that has to be seen and heard.

Thom Burton
Thom Burton is no stranger to the New Zealand music scene. He is a member of SoccerPractise, who have received accolades from music critics across the country, a former member of Hamilton-based duo Yokel Ono, and he has previously performed solo under the alias Moppy. New Zealand Musician Magazine called him “a bit of a genius” for his guitar and production skills.

Noise Control
Noise Control takes a familiar musical genre (Drum and Bass) and subvert audience expectations – there are no DJs or pre-recorded beats and samples. All music is performed live with drummer extraordinaire Matt Mooney and keyboardist Timmy D. Noise Control recently performed at the 2018 Hamilton Fringe Festival and Smash the Rail Festival.

Sine Wave and the Hamilton Live Music Trust is supported by:
Hamilton Central Business Association, the Creative Communities Scheme, Trust Waikato, WEL Energy Trust, the Hamilton City Council Community Events Fund, Free FM, The HUM, ACLX and PK Sound.

Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?
