Smoke Notes

For those of you not yet aware, local boy Barnaby Weir (Black Seeds, Flash Harry) has a certain knack for the "pop" song that goes way beyond the pleasant reggae grooves of the Black Seeds. This musical collaboration put together by Weir is further proof of the growth of his considerable talents. Performed, filmed and recorded at Bats Theatre in Wellington over four nights, this live set is as much a testament to the bunch of Wellington's finest young "pop" musicians involved as it is to the vision of Weir. As such, the line-up includes Sam Scott (The Phoenix Foundation), Toby Laing (Fat Freddy's Drop), Mike Fabulous (Black Seeds), Daniel Weetman (Black Seeds), Nato (Paselode), Brendan Moran (ex-Hasselhoff Experiment) and Age Pryor, with the very able soundman/producer Lee Prebble (Black Seeds, Phoenix Foundation, TrinityRoots) holding it all together. The songs themselves are a mixture of old and new, all penned by Weir except for Age Pryor's touching "Singing In My Soul" and Sam Scott's stunning "Quiet Girl". Highlights include Scott's "Quiet Girl", a re-working of the Dub Connection's "All The Goodness", a new track from Weir "Lucky", the storming "Lets Roll", an exceptional indie-pop styled version of the Black Seeds "Turn It Around", and the project's title track (a bittersweet lament on the creative flight from Wellington (and NZ) in search of fame and fortune). Undoubtedly a series of magical evenings, the show reproduces well as a listening alone experience, and congratulations must go to the star of the show - Mr Weir - for tackling and ultimately pulling off such a project with genuine style. Recommended (with DVD to follow).
