Through the Round Window

The Chris Knox tribute compilation and Shapeshifter album have kept us mighty busy this week as we fill and dispatch your CD orders and watch the gigabytes of data stack up from your downloads, thanks.
Now as we near the weekend our thoughts turn from getting you your NZ music fix to our own personal quest for musical gratification, you can see our picks for this weekend's gigs below.
Competition + Free Download
Win A Jzaman "Comfort Zone" T Shirt
Auckland based MC beatmaker HipHop artist Jzaman's first release The Jzaman and Cynical Movement in 2006 was a home studio product, but got good reviews in local mags leading to gigs over last 4 years at 420, Rising Sun, Fu Bar, Safari Lounge, Kings Arms and Toto's Bacco Room.
He's recently been back in the studio recording his follow up album Comfort Zone you can get a taste of the album by downloading What I've Been Doing (Nothing) until the end of November.
If that wasn't enough Jzaman has also given us a couple of Large Comfort Zone T Shirts to give away.
