    Send us a text dick move in British English noun US vulgar, slang a contemptible course of action Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers Dick Move Band Whoever said Punk Rock is dead hasn’t heard of Dick Move, a distinctly Karangahape Road band. Band members include Lucy Suttor, Lulu Macrae, Luke Boyes, Justin Rendall and Harriet Ellis. The self described Socialist Punk legends  started life as an after-hours 4am music club and now regularly share stages, and arenas, with the biggest names in rock including The Foo Fighters and Kiwi rock royalty Shihad.  They have recently recorded their third studio album, a follow up to the successful releases of  Wet and Chop published by Flying Nun and are currently preparing for another European tour.  However, Dick Move ain’t no second fiddle back up act.  Dick Move have been filling pubs, clubs and venues across Tamaki Makaoura and the nation since soon after forming.  “In our first couple of years we performed at every opportunity. There are no bad gigs. Just opportunities to learn,” says Lucy.  Lucy believes the band’s name may have prevented them from getting radio airplay but that hasn’t stopped the minstrels from developing a cult following.  Lucy wasn’t originally very keen to be in the band. “We all live and work at Whammy Bar, says Lucy. Apart from Luke, our drummer. Lou, Harriet and Justin wanted to form a band. I was not a singer. Have never been a singer but I did Punk Rock karaoke. I sang Too Drunk to Fuck by the Dead Kennedy’s. After that Justin asked me to join the band. I said no because I didn’t think I could do it. Its scary. Then we did some jams together. I sang some covers and I was hooked. It was awesome.  We’re onto our third album now. Our albums are selling and that’s awesome. Its really fun. That’s the main thing.” The name was not intentional or chosen to be provocative. “I can’t remember why we chose the name, says Lucy. It just came up in conversation. I guess when it comes to our band and what a dick move is… in this case are dick moves that are done by people in power. It is the decisions that they make that oppress and hurt and that piss us all of.” Opening for the Foo Fighters may be a career highlight to date, however touring with Shihad might’ve been a unique and unforgettable Kiwi experience.  “We did the whole tour with Shihad, says Lucy. I had a great time with those guys. They party hard. They play for like three hours and its crazy. We were so lucky to sign onto those bills. They are super cool guys. The best thing about those shows is the opportunity to play to their audience which isn’t necessarily a Dick Move audience. To jump in with a big act is great because first you get paid, and then you get to play for their audience. I think a lot of the old fellas were tapping their toes.” However transitioning from intimate club gigs to entertaining stadiums is a challenge for any artist.  “Those big shows can feel cold and soulless, explains Lucy. The biggest challenge for a warm up band is to get the audience onside. You have to acknowledge that you’re not the band they paid to see. This i Support the show

    Send us a text Caution: This podcast includes sex, drug and rock n roll references.  Seth Gerard, Ngati Parou, Ngati Oz, talks explicitly about returning to Aotearoa after being deported from Australia.  As a young teenager Seth was sent to Australia to live, only to endure unstable housing and dubious care.  Seth became an outlaw motorcycle gang member, heroin addict and thug.  Since serving six years in jail for aggravated assault he has returned to our shaky isles with renewed enthusiasm for his home nation and is actively engaging in trade trading.  The day we spoke he had completed a fork lift licence course and is eager to secure employment.  Seth says he has a special connection with Karangahape Road.  “I’m just trying to make it happen here, says Seth. I grew up out here. My dad was bad,” says Seth “I wanna share my story. I’m out here to tautoko (support) our street whanau. This place can be quite evil.”  https://www.buzzsprout.com/2105080/support Support the show
