CHRISTCHURCH - Trilogy

Another day has gone by since the earthquake on Tuesday and the sadness seems to have compounded. Bitter FM would like to send our sincere wishes to the people of Christchurch affected in any way... our thoughts are with you.
This blog is a trilogy of songs that I have chosen that reflect the tragedy in Christchurch and are all from Christchurch artists.
Before I get into that I would like to tell you about a site that has organised a fantastic compilation album to download in exchange for a minimum donation of $5 for the Christchurch Earthquake Relief... it's so easy to do and the tracks donated by the artists keep on growing. The address is here...

Part 1, The Bats - "Tragedy"
The Bats are a well known Christchurch band on the Flying Nun label and this song of theirs says it all!


Part 2, Pop Mechanix - "Jumping Out a Window"
Pop Mechanix were a Christchurch post-punk band from the 80's and this song was their big single... this is for the survivors who were lucky enough to escape... miraculously in some cases.


Part 3, The Eastern - "Get Right"
The Eastern are a great christchurch band... in fact they are actually from Lyttelton, which was the epicenter of the earthquake. I think they are the perfect band to finish this trilogy. In this context "Get Right" is for the future of Lyttelton and Christchurch... although we are currently in the rescue and recovery stage, we have to be positive about the future of this great city... so let's all do our bit to help Christchurch "Get Right"
