T’was the last night of New Zealand Music Month, so what better way to celebrate but with Wellington’s Black Seeds at Auckland’s Power Station. This was the first of two shows at the venue, and it being Thursday, there was a less than capacity crowd out on Mt Eden Road. No matter, a good time was had by those in attendance.
The 13th Floor spoke to R&B legend Bobby Womack on the eve of his show at Auckland's Civic Theatre.
Tom Cruise is (almost) the last man on Earth in the sci-fi thriller Oblivion.
