So, obviously, you know What have you been up to other than the band stuff? Are you still producing and all that sort of carry on?
Yeah, still producing Still, you know I've always just loved writing songs That's like my favourite thing to do So still doing a bunch of that And then we have our place Big Fan in Morningside Which is the not-for-profit venue How's it going? Yeah, really good What a great
yeah thanks man yeah that's been super fun just you know we run a bunch of free programs there for people to come and upskill with their you know whatever it might be with their musical careers whether they want to be a producer or an artist or you know work behind the scenes and yeah that's been really fulfilling seeing some
good talent come through there Joel yeah
how do you see things now from 20 years ago to now in terms of the New Zealand music scene because it feels like it's thriving but I could be completely wrong
lot of the venues have been bought out by some of the bigger companies, which are sort of getting a stranglehold

Yeah, it's, I don't know, I feel like it's cool to do, it's cool to see all of the people coming through Big Fan and how, like, just how much skill there is and how passionate people are about it and all that.

Where is the community for young people to come together to actually listen to music? And especially with Jesus, man, I'm looking at ticket prices at the moment.
As a guy that's older, $300 to go and see Faith No More, $200 to go and see Queens of the Stone Age.
