An in-depth conversation with musician, audio engineer, record label owner, curator and archivist Rob Mayes. From Christchurch to Japan, via a stint in the UK, Rob has dedicated his life to music - playing, recording, capturing. He has an archive of important recordings from New Zealand bands and he curates collections via his label, Failsafe. He's also a musician in his own right, playing bass in the reformations of The Children's Hour and Beat Rhythm Fashion, a former member of Throw and many other bands beside. First and foremost Rob reckons he's a music fan. We talk about the bands he loves, the sounds he's searching for and many of his varied musical projects.
