Review: They Might Be Giants

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS Bar Bodega, Wellington 17 May They Might Be Giants are not like any other band. The core duo has been together for more than 30 years, have released 16 albums – the most commercially successful, 1990’s Flood, which featured the stupidly catchy Birdhouse In Your Soul – and are known to the masses for the theme song for Malcolm In The Middle, Boss of Me.

Review: Disney on Ice in Wellington

Disney on Ice TSB Bank Arena, Wellington, May 15 Standing in a queue at the TSB Bank Arena for ice creams before opening night for Disney on Ice I overheard a frazzled-looking gentleman in front of me joke out loud in desperation: ‘‘I’ll have six beers please’’.
