Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Wellington Mornings podcast with Nick Mills
from News Talk st B.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Now we have two very special guests joining us in
the studio this morning. This week, Lomas Winter Festival begins
in Wellington. The festival fall incorporates music, dance, food and art,
with events held across the region until June the twenty first.
One of those shows will see iconic Wellington musician Brett
mackenzie and his band State Highway Wanderers taking to the stage.
(00:35):
We're lucky to have Bret McKenzie and Lomas Festival director
Andrew Laking in the studio this morning. Good morning guys, Great, Yeah,
how we doing? Can you personally, Andrew just tell me
about this? Laking? Now, it's this festival because I knew
nothing about it, and I really think that I know
what's going on down so I feel really a good
(00:56):
out of touch, right out of touch.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We'll keep a low profile, you know, as an arts bestival.
We set up about ten years ago and it runs
for a of weeks. And yeah, like you said, it
covers a range of things kind of ties in with
the middle of winter, so there's quite a lot of food, music, cozy,
little venues.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's been pretty underground, I reckon for a few years.
I mean it goes, it's quietly in the middle of
the Winter's a few small, interesting, strange shows. I've known
Andy for years, but you know, a few friends of
mine put on little shows. Like one guy, Jeremy Ranson,
did a show with a tour through the town belt
and the audience is only fifteen twenty people and he's
(01:37):
pretending to be a nature sort of environmentalist who's in
fact murdering cats or something. But really eclectic, weird, interesting shows.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Who chooses those shows?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
What Andy does? Curates this cool program of really awesome
Wellington artists.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And how would he get Brett McKenzie to do something
on that? I mean, that's pretty big, that's a pretty
big get.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well, yeah, we have kids at the same school, so
you know they drop off time when you drop the
kids off and pick them up, and he's like, do
a show. I've known Andy. We went to schoo together
and I love the festival. It's a really cool Wellington
secret really and I was super keen.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Can I tell you a little thing that I love doing.
I love choosing what schools people go to. I love
saying I know what schools now. I know one of
your brothers went to Wellington College or two of your
brothers right to Wellington College, But I believe that you
didn't go to one.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Oh you're wrong that did you go to college all
three brothers?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was your mother a teacher at Wellington High or something,
wasn't she.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
She's a dance teacher.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Ah, So you're right.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
You'd think that a lot of my friends left one
in college and went to Wellington High. But I stuck
it out to the end, did you really?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I was one of the arts kids, and Andy went
to Worlington College as well. Was you were more into
hockey at school?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah? I spent my whole time in the music department, true, Yeah,
three in the base.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I mean talking about the music department. Because one of
your brothers I also know a little bit through hospital.
I know him really well. He's a really good guy
through hospital. And he told me that there's a new
album coming out that you've been working on. Because I said,
I've got your brother coming into the studio and he said,
and he said, he said, he's going to the States.
He's got this new album. But he's going to the States.
(03:19):
I know he's traveling. Is he correct?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
He's correct?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Trouble with that cheer?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
This chair is going up and you can't see it
on radio, but if it was TV it would be
very bad.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It would be really good, like a comedy show.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yet got a new album. It's called freak Out City
and that's kind of part of why I it would
be fun to play this festival because the band are
all from Wellington. They're called the State Highway Wonders.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Is that is that put together for you? This band?
Or is an actual band that.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
You put them together?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So it's your bed, my.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Band all these cool Wellington has an unusual amount of
good musicians for the size of the city, and so
I've got a great Wellington musicians, a lot of jazz
players and they're in the band and yeah, this is us.
We've started rehearsing this week and we're going to tour
the US with the album and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So you're touring the news Wellington band in the US
taking the band. Oh wow, it's pretty big.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's highly unviable.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm going to say that's my way of saying. It's
pretty big. It's a pretty expensive, it's pretty ambitious.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah, I need to get a boat.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So that's incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
It's so fun. We did it a few years ago,
had a bus we drove across America. There's like ten
of us on the bus and some of them have
never a couple of them have never been out of
New Zealand. So they're just incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's cool. Have you heard of Blurter?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, Blister Yeah, the old classic New Zealand. Do you
know Blister Andy?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah, that kind of reminds me what you're talking about.
The whole bus thing.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, so the bus is so fun because you're you sleep,
you wake up and you're in the new town. Blurter
had that famous story about taking explosives right in Sydney,
didn't they There was a guy in Blurter who did
They like to have explosives like pyrotechnics in Sydney. They
put too many explosives on the stage. They blew up
the whole the front audience got a little sin.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
That's probably Bruno Lawrence.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That might involved.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Okay, back to Andrew. If you heard the band rehearsing,
have you seen anything of it?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I actually jumped in on a rehearsal yesterday.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he's actually a really amazing bass player.
We did a breakfast TV spot and we almost got
any to jump on and play the play the gig,
but yeah, sorry jumping and yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I've heard them half the band, half the band, fantast
if you've just joined the show.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We've got Brett McKenzie and Andrew Laking in the studio.
We're blessed to have them in there. But why we're
here as we're talking about a festival called Lomas that
I'm ignorant enough to say that I never heard it,
but it's it's definitely for the cool people. And I'm
not one of those cool people. You know, I'm past
being the cool person.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I wouldn't say it's just for cool people. It's a
little bit unknown because but that's cool. We don't really
have a marketing budget. It might change after this morning's interview.
You know, it's going to be a lot could be different. Yeah, yeah, is.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
It is it right that it's more South coast Wellington?
Is the right or not?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Really? I mean I'm based on South it's quat We
do events all around the city, so yeah, sort of
a lot of venues that maybe not standard venues like
we've got to show this year up at the Bagonia
House and.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Still there is it?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's safe?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was a bit worried you thought
we might well, a lot of people are a bit
worried about that, but right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So tell us about give us another example of another show.
We'll get back to Britain a minute, but just tell
us another show that you think people you know that
might mainstream people but not the cool people of the
of the of Wellington would like.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
To go to well I mean obviously britt show, but.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Bridge would definitely be mainstream.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yes, there's a food event up at Gray's Wine Bar
and Calvin. Do you know Max Cordy heard of Yes, Yeah,
he's doing a food event based around Neolithic food.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
What's neolithic food my job? I mean I'm confused.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We might have a part of the job, but you're not.
The State's come to be a talk about coast.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I mean he's a contemporary chef, but he's based it
on the ethic food, which is like food that they
would have made about ten thousand years ago using only
those types of ingredients that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Was super brit wouldn't because he'd be one of those
health guys looking at it like perfect, perfect.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
He'd be like a bison.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think, yeah, maybe some spearcot fish. There might be some.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
There were all sorts of stuff. But Max is amazing
and a creative shift, so you'll come up with some.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Fantastic It sounds really cool, the Slowmas winter Fest of all.
I might get on the website and have a lot
back to you. Sure, what's up? What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
How's life? Where do you live? Do you?
Speaker 4 (07:43):
I mean, I live in South Coast Wellington, so I'm
in that part of part of town. Spend most of
my time south of the Basin Reserve. Occasionally come north
of the base of reserve, see what's going on. My
kids are at school there, two of them have started
high school, ones at primary school, and and then I'm
still working on films in LA but a lot of
that's by zoom now.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So do you do you not spend a lot of
time in the States.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I'm not as much as I used to know. I travel,
you know, a few four or five times a year.
I guess I go over there, and but I tend
to go for short little bursts work on a film.
A lot of the work at the moment of songwriting,
and so I'm writing at the moment writing songs for
a Christmas movie that's an animated movie. That's because of
the time it takes the animated movie. It's going to
(08:26):
come out in twenty twenty nine. Wow, So is that
your Is that quite hardy motivated?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Is that your thing now? Movie? Movie music?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Movie music, I would say is a lot of my work.
And then at the same time I'm recording new music
for myself, So it's like juggling those two.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Do you think you will ever get back in or
have you left the comedy thing? Is it still a
thing that you want to do?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
A lot of the music work I does, I do.
I does a lot of music work I do is
in that comedy zone. So I'm writing kind of character
funny songs and at the moment doing that's keeping me
very busy, but you know, well up for jumping back
into comedy, TV and film if something interesting comes along.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Do you like the new album?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Oh yeah, I love the new album. Man, it's got
the New Zealand band, it's got an LA band. I
feel like we've captured some magic and the recording sometimes
it's hard to capture a song, and you can get
lost in the recording process. But I think in this
one we've got some real some real gems.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Tell me the quick story. Sorry, I've got to got
to ask this question about writing the song about your
wife Hannah when you were in one of your Good Parents.
I loved because I've been married for forty years, so
I love that story. Can't just tell our listeners the
story BRIT's been married for a long time. I actually
met your wife because she can She lived down the
(09:43):
road from where I lived with her parents did so
I met her once. So anyway, anyway, that's another story
for another day. But you wrote the story on a
good day. I mean, you've got a perfect marriage, and
I know you've got a perfect marriage, but sometimes you
wake up and you perfect. But sometimes you sometimes you
do wake up and look at your wife and go, God,
I'm in love this one.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, I've written there are days, you know, when you've
been together a long time. There, I think the way
to put it is, there's days you love each other
more than other days, and this one is about one
of those good days.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
There's the first song from the album. It's called All
I Need and it's a yeah, I love straight up
love song.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Win's your gig on I've got to go radio, so
get we get show on? Where do you buy tickets?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
The Lumus Festival started last nights for two weeks, all
the different shows. My show is next week at the
Hannah Playhouse on Wednesday and Thursday. They're both actually sold out. Said,
there's a weight list down. He's running a wait list
and we might try and add a late show on
the Thursday night, which could be fun because the Martariki
Friday is a day off. So yeah, next week at
(10:47):
Hannah Playhouse.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Thank you both for coming in. Great to meet you
both and great to see you again Andrew, Andrew Laking
and Brett McKenzie Britt when you get the album out,
can you come in? And we sure, can we come in?
Can you come back in? And can we play a
bit of the music which I'm being the whole band

I guess I go over there, and but I tend
to go for short little bursts work on a film.
A lot of the work at the moment of songwriting,
and so I'm writing at the moment writing songs for
a Christmas movie that's an animated movie. That's because of
the time it takes the animated movie. It's going to
(08:26):
come out in twenty twenty nine. Wow, So is that
your Is that quite hardy motivated?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Is that your thing now? Movie? Movie music?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Movie music, I would say is a lot of my work.
And then at the same time I'm recording new music
for myself, So it's like juggling those two.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Do you think you will ever get back in or
have you left the comedy thing? Is it still a
thing that you want to do?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Well?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
A lot of the music work I does, I do.
I does a lot of music work I do is
in that comedy zone. So I'm writing kind of character
funny songs and at the moment doing that's keeping me
very busy, but you know, well up for jumping back
into comedy, TV and film if something interesting comes along.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Do you like the new album?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Oh yeah, I love the new album. Man, it's got
the New Zealand band, it's got an LA band. I
feel like we've captured some magic and the recording sometimes
it's hard to capture a song, and you can get
lost in the recording process. But I think in this
one we've got some real some real gems.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Tell me the quick story. Sorry, I've got to got
to ask this question about writing the song about your
wife Hannah when you were in one of your Good Parents.
I loved because I've been married for forty years, so
I love that story. Can't just tell our listeners the
story BRIT's been married for a long time. I actually
met your wife because she can She lived down the
(09:43):
road from where I lived with her parents did so
I met her once. So anyway, anyway, that's another story
for another day. But you wrote the story on a
good day. I mean, you've got a perfect marriage, and
I know you've got a perfect marriage, but sometimes you
wake up and you perfect. But sometimes you sometimes you
do wake up and look at your wife and go, God,
I'm in love this one.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, I've written there are days, you know, when you've
been together a long time. There, I think the way
to put it is, there's days you love each other
more than other days, and this one is about one
of those good days.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
There's the first song from the album. It's called All
I Need and it's a yeah, I love straight up
love song.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Win's your gig on I've got to go radio, so
get we get show on? Where do you buy tickets?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
The Lumus Festival started last nights for two weeks, all
the different shows. My show is next week at the
Hannah Playhouse on Wednesday and Thursday. They're both actually sold out. Said,
there's a weight list down. He's running a wait list
and we might try and add a late show on
the Thursday night, which could be fun because the Martariki
Friday is a day off. So yeah, next week at
(10:47):
Hannah Playhouse.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Thank you both for coming in. Great to meet you
both and great to see you again Andrew, Andrew Laking
and Brett McKenzie Britt when you get the album out,
