The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
Dimmer take their new album Degrees of Existence back to the streets in October. The band take on their first southern dates of the season as well as Dimmers first foray over the Harbour Bridge in many years. And Shayne Carter has upped the ante by putting together a ridiculously tasty line-up of bands for these shows. First up at the Masonic in Devonport on 10 October, Dimmer are joined by The Naked and Famous. Dimmer last played on the Shore many years back to a crowd of knitting nanas at a Labour Party conference. This will be different. In Dunedin on Friday 16 October, supports are the ferocious Mountaineater and youngsters Brains, who we may as well call the Bored Games of the moment. In Christchurch the following night its a rare treat as the Dead C join Dimmer at Als Bar. And on their return to Auckland at Bacco on Saturday 24 October, James Duncan will be showcasing his brand new band and tunes from his outstanding Hello-fi album.
