Introducing: Kimbra

New Zealand must be on the brink of a musical renaissance, because another Kiwi caught my ear this week with her new music. Similiar to Feist or Lykke Li, Kimbra appears to have a presence of her own in the Pop Alternative spectrum. No info yet on when we may be seeing a debut album from Kimbra, but you can enjoy her video for "Settle Down" for now!

Introducing: Zowie

If La Roux grew up in New Zealand and looked like Karen O, I think she would have become Zowie. Calling herself a "Bionic Pixie," Zowie aims to bring us electro-pop with an edge. No word on when her debut album will be released, but based on this teaser trailer, and the songs up on her MySpace page, I'd expect to be hearing a lot more of this Kiwi in the near future!

DJ Teridactyl has a reptuation of keeping the dance floor moving by spinning Dance-pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, Electronic and everything inbetween. An avid dancer herself, Teri began to garner the attention of others by playing her dance mixes off her iPod at parties, which led one of her friends to give her the name "DJ Teridactyl." She went on to make a music mix for a Hollywood premiere party, which convinced Teri that it was finally time to learn the art of the turntable. Now fully equipped, she has since become a professional, LA based DJ.
