1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast

2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,173
Speaker 1: from News Talks at b no.

3
00:00:14,973 --> 00:00:33,013
Speaker 2: Ow holded against Her, My Baby, My Baby, don't heard me.

4
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:42,893
Speaker 3: I love this song. God, it's beautiful, isn't It's Lydia

5
00:00:42,973 --> 00:00:46,853
Speaker 3: by fir Patrol. They're playing Homegrown today. Chris Schultz is

6
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:50,653
Speaker 3: headed to Homegrown along with thirty five thousand other New

7
00:00:50,733 --> 00:00:54,133
Speaker 3: Zealand music fans who will be absolutely loving it today.

8
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:58,933
Speaker 3: Sixty acts. It's just extraordinary Christmas weather snawgday to Jack.

9
00:00:59,013 --> 00:01:01,133
Speaker 4: I just got to hear the suns out. I can

10
00:01:01,213 --> 00:01:04,293
Speaker 4: hear the drums kicking off in the background. They're about

11
00:01:04,333 --> 00:01:06,733
Speaker 4: to open the gates. So yeah, you're right. It's all

12
00:01:06,813 --> 00:01:09,893
Speaker 4: happening here in Hamilton, a city that there has been

13
00:01:09,893 --> 00:01:13,333
Speaker 4: a little derided over the years the tron the Bogan

14
00:01:13,453 --> 00:01:16,333
Speaker 4: Capital of New Zealand, lack in a bit of culture,

15
00:01:16,413 --> 00:01:19,733
Speaker 4: but that all changes today with home Grown. This is

16
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:23,773
Speaker 4: the first time this All New Zealand festival has been

17
00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:28,813
Speaker 4: in Hamilton. Organizers dramatically pulled the plug on Wellington at

18
00:01:28,853 --> 00:01:31,733
Speaker 4: the end of after last year's show. They sort of

19
00:01:31,773 --> 00:01:34,173
Speaker 4: teased a few different options about where it might go.

20
00:01:34,293 --> 00:01:37,413
Speaker 4: They said Wellington it sort of just wasn't big enough

21
00:01:37,453 --> 00:01:39,293
Speaker 4: for them. They couldn't find a site and they had

22
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:43,453
Speaker 4: bigger ambitions, and so they've come to Hamilton Claudland's Oval

23
00:01:43,693 --> 00:01:46,813
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's the biggest home ground yet. They are

24
00:01:46,853 --> 00:01:50,333
Speaker 4: expecting somewhere around that thirty thirty five thousand people to

25
00:01:50,453 --> 00:01:52,693
Speaker 4: show up, which puts it way ahead of last year's

26
00:01:53,453 --> 00:01:55,773
Speaker 4: twenty three thousand. That's all I could fit on the

27
00:01:55,813 --> 00:02:00,253
Speaker 4: waterfront brand in their Lake Sardines. Claudlin's Oval was three

28
00:02:00,293 --> 00:02:02,613
Speaker 4: times the size of that Wellington Warfront site, so they've

29
00:02:02,653 --> 00:02:06,013
Speaker 4: got space to burn this. Two extra stages, one for

30
00:02:06,133 --> 00:02:09,093
Speaker 4: all new artists I understand. I'm very much looking forward

31
00:02:09,093 --> 00:02:12,893
Speaker 4: to checking that out, and then just piggy genre. It's

32
00:02:12,933 --> 00:02:15,133
Speaker 4: like there's a rock stage, there's a hip hop stage,

33
00:02:15,173 --> 00:02:17,413
Speaker 4: there's a dance stage, and then there's a stage for

34
00:02:17,453 --> 00:02:20,213
Speaker 4: all the headliners, the ones we all know, you know,

35
00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:25,093
Speaker 4: the Labs, the six sixties, that kind of stuff. So yeah,

36
00:02:25,133 --> 00:02:28,253
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to getting amongst it. I don't think

37
00:02:28,893 --> 00:02:32,133
Speaker 4: homegrown organizers have been given enough credit for what they've

38
00:02:32,133 --> 00:02:35,893
Speaker 4: achieved here. You know, an All New Zealand festival, launched

39
00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:38,933
Speaker 4: in two thousand and eight was a huge risk right,

40
00:02:38,933 --> 00:02:41,893
Speaker 4: Like New Zealand music wasn't what it is now. Back then,

41
00:02:41,933 --> 00:02:45,493
Speaker 4: we didn't have six sixty filling up stadiums, we didn't

42
00:02:45,493 --> 00:02:50,013
Speaker 4: have Lord touring the world. He was told Andrew Tucks,

43
00:02:50,013 --> 00:02:52,373
Speaker 4: the organizer. I spoke to him a week ago and they,

44
00:02:52,573 --> 00:02:54,773
Speaker 4: you know, people sort of said this will only last

45
00:02:54,773 --> 00:02:58,693
Speaker 4: two years, and here he is the nineteenth one today

46
00:02:58,733 --> 00:03:01,053
Speaker 4: and it's the biggest one yet. So yeah, they've really

47
00:03:01,053 --> 00:03:03,293
Speaker 4: done something special. It's remarkable, It's going.

48
00:03:03,213 --> 00:03:05,013
Speaker 3: To be amazing. So who are you most looking forward

49
00:03:05,013 --> 00:03:05,653
Speaker 3: to seeing today?

50
00:03:06,373 --> 00:03:06,813
Speaker 1: Do you know what?

51
00:03:06,893 --> 00:03:09,253
Speaker 4: I'm going to head to that hip up stage. I

52
00:03:09,293 --> 00:03:15,333
Speaker 4: want to throwback Savage Pee, Money Jack, David Dallas is

53
00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:18,373
Speaker 4: on there, Lady Sex as well. I haven't seen a

54
00:03:18,413 --> 00:03:20,253
Speaker 4: lot of those artists in a long time, so I

55
00:03:20,293 --> 00:03:22,693
Speaker 4: am going to get a little bit nostalgic. But for Patrol,

56
00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,373
Speaker 4: my sister actually went to the Wellington show a few

57
00:03:25,453 --> 00:03:28,133
Speaker 4: nights ago and she sat there in really good form.

58
00:03:28,373 --> 00:03:31,733
Speaker 4: So I'm really keen to see them, like I love

59
00:03:31,813 --> 00:03:34,973
Speaker 4: Super Groove at Electric Avenue, desperately want to see them again.

60
00:03:35,013 --> 00:03:39,293
Speaker 4: They're always just a really good time. And then I look,

61
00:03:39,333 --> 00:03:42,613
Speaker 4: apparently you can get between these stages, so much faster

62
00:03:42,693 --> 00:03:45,853
Speaker 4: than the Wellington Waterfront Festival, which was one long strip

63
00:03:45,853 --> 00:03:47,933
Speaker 4: along the waterfront. This is more of a circle. It's

64
00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:51,613
Speaker 4: an oval builds oval obviously, and apparently it's just sort

65
00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:53,293
Speaker 4: of three or four minutes. You can do a bit

66
00:03:53,293 --> 00:03:56,613
Speaker 4: of running about. So maybe i'll test his legs out

67
00:03:56,693 --> 00:03:58,613
Speaker 4: Jack soon, see what's left in them at the end

68
00:03:58,653 --> 00:04:01,533
Speaker 4: of this ridiculous summer of festival.

69
00:04:02,053 --> 00:04:05,133
Speaker 3: Amazing. Yeah, it's going to be so good. I wish

70
00:04:05,173 --> 00:04:08,013
Speaker 3: I was there. I'm burning with the envy, but I

71
00:04:08,093 --> 00:04:10,293
Speaker 3: know that you're very much well practiced. You've had a

72
00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:12,453
Speaker 3: little bit of a break since Electric Keev, so no

73
00:04:12,533 --> 00:04:14,613
Speaker 3: excuses for not getting around a few of those stages

74
00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:17,373
Speaker 3: this afternoon. And yeah, I can't wait to hear how

75
00:04:17,413 --> 00:04:19,853
Speaker 3: it all goes in the tron. So thank you very much, Chris.

76
00:04:20,173 --> 00:04:22,253
Speaker 3: You can hear, of course, more from Chris on his

77
00:04:22,413 --> 00:04:25,413
Speaker 3: sub stack is Substacks Boiler Room. And I hope if

78
00:04:25,413 --> 00:04:29,333
Speaker 3: you're heading along to Homegrown today, or to Pacifica, or

79
00:04:29,373 --> 00:04:32,173
Speaker 3: to the myriad other events around the country today, you

80
00:04:32,293 --> 00:04:35,173
Speaker 3: have a wonderful time as well. In a couple of minutes,

81
00:04:35,173 --> 00:04:36,893
Speaker 3: we'll wrap things up. I reckon, we'll play the Black

82
00:04:36,933 --> 00:04:39,333
Speaker 3: Seats given they're playing out Homegrown this afternoon. I reckon

83
00:04:39,373 --> 00:04:40,973
Speaker 3: we'll play the Black Seas to close out the show

84
00:04:40,973 --> 00:04:41,613
Speaker 3: in a few minutes.
