		If you've had the pleasure of catching betchadupa on tour, and you have a pulse, you were probably blown away by their live energy and musicianship.
		It's easy to be amazed when, live, betchadupa tackle the soaring, yearning harmonies of My Song, or that great dropout in the middle of Move Over (you know, where it all cuts out and then roars back) and pull them off.
		The band took a trip back to the good old days of rock and laid down all their songs in analogue format, feeding off each other and letting the vibe shine through, which is just what they do on stage.

		In their native New Zealand, skewed pop quartet Betchadupa are slightly scruffy teen idols, young and bright-eyed enough to find themselves pinned to bedroom walls everywhere from Auckland to Invercargill.
		Still, it would be hard for Betchadupa to top the mischief they got up to in Melbourne during their 2003 tour supporting American stoner-rock giants Queens of the Stone Age.
		For the moment, Betchadupa are content to move back and forth between Australia and NZ, trying not to ignore the fans who brought them their first success, while continuing to court the new, larger audiences this side of the Tasman.

		Put all that aside though and you have a confident, self assured debut that is sure to satisfy those who've been waiting patiently.
		Betchadupa were named the Top New Act at the 2001 NZ Music Awards' for a good reason and it has nothing to do with the Finn pedigree.
		"Feed The Dogs" is a little quirky with the recognisable Betchadupa harmonies, "Unused Potatoes" has a quirky name but failed to grab and "Lucy's Song" is the sweet, emotional and trance-like (obligatory?) ballad before the album screams into "Drop D" before blissing out on the last track "Other Way".

		I wouldn't be the first person to point out that Aiming For Your Head is an uneven mix of all-out rock tunes and mellower numbers, but hopefully I'm not alone in saying they're a bloody good batch of songs as well.
		betchadupa have a huge amount of cultural and genetic influences to draw on, from gentle moody numbers to ballsy riffs and wails, and who's gonna resist showing off all of these at one point or another?
		There are hits aplenty on Aiming For Your Head, some destined to be faves of sweaty boys jumping around, others for their girlfriends, swooning quietly inside as the throngs leave the moshpit none the wiser.

		The name Betchadupa will undoubtedly be ringing bells in your head, and when you remember that it's Neil Finn's son's band you'll be attributing it to that.
		If I were being overly verbose I'd extrapolate on how they've fought through the toils of being a young band in New Zealand, trying to grapple a limited market with the hope of making it bigger there and overseas, and while all this stands true it essentially comes back to ambition.
		Recorded on analogue, with producer Nick Launay [Nick Cave, Midnight Oil], Aiming For Your Head captures all the live energy and immediate vitality of a Betchadupa live show, allowing the sounds that they create to be appreciated without the overcrowding that Pro-Tools so often results in.

		Betchadupa's group home in a busy corner of Brunswick has the pleasantly spartan air of a student abode.
		An iPod for a stereo, a bong on the telly, a stick of incense in the window and an oversized Sonic Youth poster are among the simple embellishments surrounding a plastic chess set bought with change from a dollar at the Salvos on Sydney Road.
		It was all valuable experience for Betchadupa, who played their first gigs that year.

		One of New Zealand’s most exciting bands, Betchadupa have realised their goals with the release of the debut album — an album that equally balances the hard-rocking nature of the band with the more reflective side of their personalities.
		The new album’s songs benefit from their live expertise, and also reflect a changing band dynamic as all four members are now having an input to the songwriting.
		Betchadupa spent two weeks rehearsing the album tracks in an industrial warehouse then entered Revolver Studios with their friend and engineer, Sam Gibson.

		With a surname like "Finn" and a father named "Neil", releasing an EP with your own band is likely to raise expectations.
		Betchadupa have been given a golden hand in the card game that is rock and roll, and have played it rather well with this release.
		The 3D EP (so named for the red/blue 3D art in the insert) starts out with a rocking little riff in "I want it", and keeps the pace rollicking along at a good pace, albeit a slightly repetitive one.
