Only the other day I asked Mr Music Manager whatever happened to Dunc The Func who was well known in Auckland for his radio presence and funk theme parties... and then yesterday out of the blue he pops up with hsi tenth installment of Givin' Up Food For Funk - spooky. Glad it's not friday the 13th today.
As it is friday we've our free downlaod for you to point your music players at and today's featured release comes from Flip Grater who other than being one of the thousands of musicians on Amplifier is also a sucessful Manager, taking out the Regional Manager of The Year award at this weeks MMF Awards. Congratulations to Flip and the other managers who work hard to help and support the many artists they represent.

EQWANOX - Growing Up
EQWANOX are a Rock band from Waikato, New Zealand with Punk, Grunge and Pop Rock elements.
Forming in 2004 while still at highschool, in late 2007 after making the national finals of the World Battle Of The Bands, Eqwanox went into the studio to record their debut album All Roads Lead From Here.
Growing Up taken from the album is available for free from today for a week to downlaod thanks to the band.
Release Of The Day:
Flip Grater - Careful
She has written songs that could prick the ears up of any that hear them, and with traces of PJ Harvey, a sprinkling of Cat Power and a touch of Suzanne Vega, Flip Grater's music has established her as one of our country's beloved indie-folk artists. With over six years of creating a sound she is renowned for, the release of an EP, two critically acclaimed albums (2006's Cage For A Song and 2008's Be All And End All), a published book and a tour history that takes her meandering through 11 or so countries, she is seasoned.
July sees the release of her third studio album 'While I'm Awake I'm At War' through Maiden Records. It features this first single, Careful, a meandering alt country ditty with a Fleetwood Mac feel.
