tunnelMUSIC returns from hiatus – it’s been a long time between drinks my friends, but in the words of the immortal Chumba Wumba, “I get knocked down, but I get up again.”
Six months ago, we hit a rather large, earthquake proportioned speed bump in our progress in bringing you the brand new site. But now we are back on reasonably solid ground and it seemed only fitting that we kickstarted this old boy up again, bringing you news and reviews of Christian music.
It’s going to take a bit of work to get back to where we left off, so this is a call to all those writers out there. That’s right, Uncle Paulie NEEDS YOU!!
If you’re keen to get involved by taking pen to paper, give us a buzz on @tunnelmusic or on our Facebook page. You can also email us at jrodley@me.com (our tunnelmusic email addys aren’t working again yet).
We would love to hear from you.
- Paul and James

Addison Interview – 23/01/2010
We caught up with the guys from Addison before their show in Christchurch on the 23rd of January. Sadly this was their last tour, but this is what they had to say.
tunnelMUSIC – How did you guys get started?
Addision – We used to play in this strange band which kinda broke up, we already had Ryan (lead vocals) and we just conglomerated a few more members along the way which has made this the musical fusion that we are now. We’re quite different now from when the band started, a new guitarist, a new bass player and also we’ve been through another guitarist along the way, but living in Australia is pretty cool.
tunnelMUSIC – When did you decide to shift the band over there?

Rapture Ruckus – Interview @ Parachute 30/01/2010
tunnelMUSIC – After seeing you on Mainstage last night it’s obvious you’ve developed quite a rapport with your audience. How important is your live show to you as a performer?
Rapture Ruckus (Brad Dring) – Our live show is everything to us, that’s kind of what has made Rapture Ruckus what it is. We started out making music in the studio but being on the road is what we base everything on. We make all our major decisions on our live show and getting that better. We’re definitely a live act, we are all real passionate about performing and we go and see other bands.
tunnelMUSIC – How different is your live show now compared to when you first performed at Parachute?

Falling Up – Interview – 30/01/2010
tunnelMUSIC – Welcome back to NZ. First up, your disbanding. What was behind the decision to call it quits?
Falling Up (Jesse Ribordy) -In the last year we hadn’t been doing much at all really. Two years ago was our last tour with Family Force 5, and we played shows here and there, then we did a record in between but things were just slowly dissipating. When this opportunity came up we thought, we haven’t played shows in a while and I hadn’t updated anybody about us. I was just kind of hoping that people would slowly forget about us, I knew that probably wasn’t the most mature thing to do so I just felt like this was a good opportunity to say, hey we’re going to call it quits. Which for us is really no different because we’ve been just taking a break the last couple of years, so it really doesn’t feel that different other than the officiality of it. It was a natural progression for us.
TunnelMUSIC – You guys have been around since 2002 is it?
