This Heavy Metal Show (HMS) airs over NYE

Here on the HMS: Hard Fast & Heavy Show we welcome 2013 in our usual manner, i.e the ritualistic offering of Heavy Metal to the airwaves. This year our last show of 2012, and our first of 2013 are the same event.

So when you're stuck for a Heavy Metal alternative to the bars/clubs/festivals elsewhere tune in this Monday from 11pm on Auckland's 95bfm.

Furthermore;
We promise nothing for 2013, you get nothing. (granted this is a bit dramatic, but I stand by what I said: Nothing!) 


Live Stream: http://www.95bfm.com/default,live.sm
Stations website: http://www.95bfm.com/index.sm

Email hfhshow: dale@hardfastheavy.com
Number of the beast: 666   

Here's me being talked about

If you're signed up to the 95bfm email list, or more affectionately: the bmail, you would've likely have just received the final one for the year and the featured dj spot is me.

Yes, I am posting about being mentioned by my own station, were I on commercial telly I'd be calling it a cross over, or on the news- it'd almost be a headline story, on a mid to slow news day.. I like it, mainly because it I didn't write it and it's complimentary.

Who would be on yours?

For music fans, as an exercise of anti-productism (SYL reference); using the models used by the mass marketed and sales based compilation cds that flood television adverts this time of year, but flipped on its head (i.e. used not for commercial gain but rather kick starting your grey matter by making you remember).

• Imagine you are the sole member of the market and based upon your personal sales and your personal listens- what bands would make up list? (Consider only bands with new material released between January 1st 2012 and now i.e. near enough to the end of 2012)
• I haven't considered my full list but off the top I can tell you some of the following would appear:
• Devin Townsend Project, Testament, Soulfly, 3 Inches of Blood, All Hail the Yeti, Meshuggah, A life once lost, Dethklok, Trollfest, The Faceless

Converge & Old Man Gloom NZ show Feb 2013

https://www.facebook.com/events/173922842732141/


CONVERGE
OLD MAN GLOOM

KINGS ARMS TAVERN
10th February, 2013

Anchor Presents:

Converge New Zealand February 2013

Heavy music’s most established and innovative band, Converge will return to Auckland, New Zealand in February 2013.

Considered one of the most intense, important, and influential metal/hardcore bands of all time, the band's latest album “All We Love We Leave Behind “ is the most integral album to date in a catalogue that's celebrated to an almost religious degree by countless fans of punk, metal and hardcore.

Credited with giving rise to a genre and influencing countless bands all over the world, Converge have always been the type of band that never fit into one subculture, creating a sound that is entirely their own. The band attribute that to the fact that since their 2001 landmark album Jane Doe, they haven't had any member changes and maintain the unwavering individualism and uncompromising artistic vision they had when they formed over 21 years ago.

Joining them on their exclusive Auckland date will be US supergroup Old Man Gloom. Tickets go on sale through UndertheRadar.co.nz & Real Groovy Stores 9th November 2012.

Hard Fast Heavy on Break

Many of you may have noticed that the 95bfm's 2 hours of Metal anti-dote to normality on a Monday night-Tuesday Morning in the form of The Hard, Fast & Heavy Show was not on air last week (Monday 29th October).

Unfortunately, it will not be on air this coming Monday (5th Nov) either, but we will return to the airwaves on the 12th of November and we'll be dragging up local battlers, Decortica to have a chat with them to find out what they've been up to.

I'm not sitting on my arse increasing the ass-imprint on my couch. I am so busy at the moment that I literally can not afford to spend the many hours it takes to prep a show, the 2hrs of being on air & the following Tuesday were I'm usually wiped out. But by the time I'm back on air a few major things will be off my plate and I'll be back better than ever.
