Dick Move earned a Taite Music Prize nomination for their second album 'Wet'. Don't bet against them repeating the feat next year for their excellent new record 'Dream, Believe, Achieve'.

There will be one familiar face when Laneway returns to Auckland next February: BENEE.

BENEE and I have something in common: OCD. What fun!

It was nice to hear her talk about how she sees her disorder as a positive thing when it comes to music.

Watch a clip from our Rolling Stone AU/NZ interview now.
