the v i b e

[ 88dot5 fm / lower hutt / nz ]

welcome to the one-page-wonder website of the vibe. yes we have big ideas about what to put here but right now building an awesome radio station is the highest priority.

it's radio by the seat of your pants

okay, lets be honest. we're basically broke (hey, if you've got about a spare nz$1m or an fm radio licence, email us!). but all things considered, we think we've achieved bloody well.

a plush automation system and new equipment means the vibe now operates 24/7 except when something fouls up. and there's more to come. we're furiously loading new music to build a playlist to challenge the big boys. (now if only the record companies would send us their new releases)

the music

alternative. and rock thats modern (but not modern rock). confused? perhaps some examples would help:
fatboy slim, radiohead, regurgitator, eels, grinspoon, blur, the cure, massive attack, beck, nirvana, tool, portishead, everclear, foo fighters, bjork, R.E.M., daft punk..

we're not afraid to play the cool older stuff either:
depeche mode, new order, the clash, softcell, husker du, stone roses, tom petty.

plus thanks to nz on air's hit discs, we believe we are playing the highest percentage of nz stuff in wellington. the likes of:
HLAH, breathe, eye-tv, bic runga, the stereobus, salmonella dub, darcy clay, garageland, martin phillipps and the chills, headless chickens, supergroove, bailterspace, dancing azians, knightshade, greg johnson, blam blam blam .. and anything else we can get our hands on.

don't call us - we'll call you

yeah, we have a phone system. but don't be thinking we'll tell you the number. if you want to talk on air, send us your number using the two methods below and we'll phone you.

we think email really rocks ([email protected]). but if you use ICQ then we'll be able to talk to you in real time, and chatting with a listener while they're actually listening is just so sexy. aah. we're "The Vibe" on ICQ, UIN#23114109.

so tell us what you think. by the way, "you suck" won't get far but "you suck so change this: .." will.
