Over the course of May Wellington's City Gallery has played host to an exhibition called 'Radio With Pictures'. The exhibition on display in the Michael Hirschfeld Gallery has been showcasing some of Wellington's finest up and coming musicians. On constant rotation are a number of recent music videos using a range of different cinematic techniques. Lining the walls are some of the creative images we know as album art.
My post today contains some of those music videos. Not everyone lives in Wellington so I've decided to share part of the exhibition with you all. I'll also post a selection of songs from some of my favourite local musicians.

First we have a video from Mestar. Formed in 1998 in Dunedin, Mestar won critical acclaim for their debut album titled Mestar. After two more releases in 2000 and 2002 the band moved to Wellington. In 2006 they released Shut the Squizwot Factories Down, this video for the song 'Konked Out' was designed and produced by band member John White.

Next up is a song from Charlie Ash. 'O' Baby' features on the recently released Can Can EP. The song won several awards, including 'Overall Best Concept' at the 2006 Handle The Jandle Video Music Awards. I don't have that video for you today but here is the album art and the song.
