The lobby at the Stamford Plaza hotel disappeared last night at the Juice TV awards...
The Opshop boys were a surprise to see, largely because they'd only jetted back into the country from London three hours earlier. National party leader John Key was another pleasantly surprising presence and the musos loved it. He posed for photos with some, like the gorgeous Hollie Smith. No other politician even bothered to show up, which screams volumes about how they view the Kiwi music scene in GodZone doesn't it? Though I suspect Key will be joined by other politicos next week at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards when the cameras are out and the election is right round the corner. Hels loves a red carpet entry.
The yoof vote is something that the Johnster needs and shame on our trout faced leader for not holding her end of the bar up.
Nice gossip blog too Rachel Glucina from the Herald.
