Gone Till November
G’Day Mate
Coll here from the sunny Gold Coast. I’ve been here a week and I’m loving the weather…Sure beats Windy Welli… Anyway I’ve been chilling out with the Bro and his family and catching up with other family and friends from NZ… Go figure aye, cross the ditch to catch up with family who live just down the road lol.
I guess it’s cool to lax out for a bit before I head back to my 9 – 5 and a crazy month of gigs.
Speaking of gigs, really looking forward to Shake on November 1st. Its gonna be crazy, because I fly into Welli at 10pm and the gigs on at 11pm… Hopefully my flight doesn’t get delayed.
Stay tuned…

Bone Thugs n Harmony @ TRIPLE THREAT
Just before we got our set going who happens to walk into Coyotes?!?!?…. none other than BONE THUGS N HARMONY, WC (Westside Connection) & DAZ DILLINGER (Tha Dogg Pound)!!!!!
I mean they weren’t even invited to the gig nor did we know they were even in the country yet, but I guess they heard there was a packed out party called TRIPLE THREAT going on @ Coyotes and wanted to check it out. We got to chill out and even got the cameras flashin’ with ‘Layzie Bone’ which we’ll be putting up soon! So what you know about that!!!!
Huge shout out to all the brothers from the Horsemen Family who came down to be part of TRIPLE THREAT – Mareko, Devolo, Lil’ Mark, DJ Shady1 and Gun Jack!!! Shot to DJ Huntah and the Coyote Staff for their hospitality… And finally to all the people that came out last Sunday…. MAD LOVE for showin’ love!!!!

Working 9 -5 to live a 5 – 9…
Sup!
C-Coll here, its been a cruisy last 2 weeks for the boys. And I guess at times like this when you get a bit more free time than normal, you tend to reflect back on the crazy all nighters, where we would gig on a Thursday night and be out to the early hours of morning. A couple of hours later all 3 of us, will be back at work doing our 9 – 5. The last couple of months has seen us do several back to back all nighters, and despite how much we regret it the next day at work, as a group we’ve almost trained our bodies to the point where we actually get our kicks out of working the next day. We even have competitions to see who can get to work the earliest and email the other 2.
With every gig I like to think we push the boundaries both during our gigs and after them. We like to plan our sets precisely to fit the audience, even down to things such as costumes or remix breaks. “how many dudes do you know can rock suits at a Hip Hop gig in NZ… not many….if any lol”.
…So at the moment the boys and I have been down in the dungeon conjuring up new tracks and gig sets, which we can’t wait to perform/release. No doubt it will push the envelope in the local R&B Hip Hop scene and convert more believers to this noise that inspires the body to move. Watch This Space!!!
Where is the album?!?!
![]()
Where is the album? Why is it taking so long? What’s the latest?
These are some of the questions from people whenever Beatrootz comes up in conversation. I guess it’s cool because people want to hear more from us and the album has been in the works from day one. After releasing No DJz, You Know and Otherside we’ve been writing new material and the album is finished! Yay-ya! The album was actually finished end of 2007 but since then we’ve been trying to get somebody too hook us up with $$$ to release it and get it out to NZ. It’s been long and tough, but we hustled hard and finally caught some attention from Dawn Raid(DR) who were willing to help us out. We signed a joint venture with DR where they’d help us get our Album mixed/mastered and made available for NZers to listen to…
…BUT due to Savage blowing up in the US everything’s on hold, which sux for us cos we can’t get the album out ASAP. But all good, cos Savage is doing a good thing for everybody here in NZ. “Sav… shot uso!” Instead of waiting around we’ve been hustling for gigs and are revamping our album because its a year old now and you always gotta move with the times right?! Hell yeah! So it’s been cool, re-writing our stuff and cracking up with the boys when we listen back to our final recordings. Maaan how things can change over a year!
So it’s all good, we’re still here, still making good music, still releasing an album and still reppin Welly! 1…
