Coup De Main x NZ On Air | Silver Scrolls 2016 playlist.

In celebration of the 2016 APRA Silver Scroll finalists being released, this week we’ve decided to curate a playlist based on our favourites of the nominees.

The Silver Scrolls are in their 51st this year, and past winners include the likes of Lorde, The Naked and Famous, Dave Dobbyn, Bic Runga - and many more names in the New Zealand music scene that have gone on to greatness.

There’s gonna be a Pokémon 'Detective Pikachu' movie.

Just in case Pokémon Go wasn’t enough to satisfy the revival in nostalgia for them adorable 'lil Pocket Monster critters, it’s now been announced that production will begin next year on a live-action Pokémon film, which will feature the new Detective Pikachu character - introduced and featured so far only through a Japanese video game.

I watched 'Pokémon: The First Movie' in cinemas back in 1999, and I’ll probably watch this too when it’s out.

I have no regrets.

Review: The Cure - Vector Arena, July 2016.

There aren’t many artists performing live shows on the planet at this very instant who are capable of performing four encores in just one night alone. For one, it demands an enormous repertoire to choose a set from. Secondly, a diehard fanbase that will listen to all the material. And lastly, the musicianship to actually pull it off. These three things were each present in The Cure’s performance at Auckland’s Vector Arena last night, making it a once in a lifetime concert for all attending.

Witchery launch new capsule collection, 'Runway Now'.

Coup De Main is delighted to be online-debuting Witchery's new capsule collection called ‘Runway Now’, which is just what you expect - limited-edition womenswear looks directly from the runway, now in stores.

The five looks are a taste of what is to come from Witchery’s upcoming Spring/Summer 2016 collection, and are inspired by smooth silhouettes of the boudoir and sun-bleached desert tones.

Not going to lie, I am very obsessed with the white short/jacket combination - it’s very Florence + The Machine (in a warmer climate!)
