Mëstar Album and Gigs
As previously noted, Mestar just released their top notch new album “Shut the Squizwot Factories Down”... Vicki Anderson in the Christchurch Press gives the album four stars and writes “it sounds refreshingly good. Mëstar rule.” Cheese on Toast say about the album title track “Opening with a fuzzed wall of guitar which disappears with as much force as it opens, leaving a wonderful rolling bass-line which juxtaposes John White's sugary voice perfectly - almost thirty seconds later the wall of fuzzed guitar assaults us gloriously again - for as long again before another rolling rhythm section reprieve. And again. And again. And then you hit repeat and it all happens again”, also giving the track four starry ones.

Mëstar are playing two shows with Superette and Voom. Superette have decided to do a couple of one-off shows to celebrate 10 years since releasing their debut (and only) album ‘Tiger’.

Arch Hill Bizzo
At the business end of things Arch Hill has just hooked up with digital aggregators IOTA, who are one of the biggest international aggregators dealing with pretty much every on-line music provider from itunes to emusic to Napster and dozens more.
We are also going to CMJ in New York this November to make some more friends with like minded record labels, bands and other people out there in the world or music.
