  • Bio

    ........The Buckwhips sing funny songs beautifully. In the guise of a bickering family band with a long history of hits and duds, this hilarious 4-piece delights audiences with pitch-perfect harmonies and onstage feuding based around songs like Santa King of the Jews, Bean Song and their ill fated Interislander commercial The Wahine was a Once Off. It's side splitting kiwi comedy with a sting in its tail........... ....What people say about us... ........ ..........At last - a group that has proven Kiwi Country music can be sung in a Kiwi voice! Hilarious too… deserves to build a cult audience.” ..................John Smythe, ..www.theatreview.co.nz.............. ........ Smart, sharp and viciously funny: the pick of the comedy I've seen so far by a country mile. “..........   - Capital Times........ .. ....Pimp....My....Profile.... .. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting....

    .. .... ............BENNY BUCKWHIP............Benny is the middle Buckwhip brother. He is a market gardener and is slowly becoming a devout christian. Benny's claim to fame was that he wrote a song that almost made it as the 'Interislander' ad theme - but it was rejected. The song is called 'The Wahine was a once Off'....... .... ..........MIRI BUCKWHIP..........Miri is the only Buckwhip sister. She was stolen from her perfectly warm home by Gary when she was barely a year old. The boys raised Miri themselves, as their mother was in prison and their dad only came home now and again to check on his P lab. ........ ...... ..........ARTY BUCKWHIP..........Arty is the eldest. He is a die hard county music artist and often dying hard is exactly what he does on stage. He was the face of Malboro cigarettes after he took the liberty of arranging a contract to use the Buckwhips to promote the tobacco giant. Their hit song 'Malboro' tells of the joys of smoking and the wonderful effect it has on the life of those around you.  ........ ...... ..........GARY BUCKWHIP..........Gary Buckwhip is the youngest and most malnourished member of the Buckwhips. He has recently been 'released' from prison after his brothers framed him for burning down the Gold Guitars museum in Gore. Gary is an avid supporter of the Warratahs and prefers their music to the Buckwhips', much to the pain and torment of his family......... .. .. ....Pimp....My....Profile.... ..

    I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.

    Here are some things you can do:



    Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.



    Publish artist interviews in English to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazineInterviewsEnglish , interviews in French to http://groups.myspace.com/InterviewsAvecCountryMusicStars and interviews in German to http://groups.myspace.com/CountryMusikInterviews . All these groups on MySpace are part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine.



    Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka



    Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.



    If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

    Hey Y’know Digital Promotion helps the environment AND the economy?

    Promoting, selling and creating new revenue streams online requires no manufacturing process, and without physical shipment, creates no “carbon footprint”.

    As a musician, digital products and services give you access to a global market, and the value that is created comes back to our local economy. Now you don’t need to have industry contacts - build connections directly with fans worldwide.

    We’re encouraging New Zealand musicians to get out there, get online, and take their creativity to the world. Develop content on your own websites, develop your blog, develop and expand new ways to connect and create opportunities online.

    The future for creative New Zealanders is just around the corner.
    Make sure you’re up to date with the latest online promo news and tips by subscribing to our digital music promotion blog here on myspace
