Rolling Stone AU/NZ is celebrating the 2026 Taite Music Prize with special In My Room sessions from the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut nominees.

First up is @bub.band, a genre-blending band from Tāmaki Makaurau led by Priya Sami.

Bub’s debut album, ‘Can’t Even’, enjoyed a stellar run last year, with several singles spending time in the SRN Top 10 and alternative charts; standout track ‘New Amsterdam’ made it into the APRA Silver Scrolls Top 20.

I wanted to thank IMNZ for this Taite nomination and to thank everyone who put in their time and talent to help me make this album real and release it!
It’s a struggle mate, first it feels super self-indulgent to ask anyone to play your sad sack songs and then it’s like asking for favours left, right and centre to record them and put on shows and promote and see if people care!
I am so so so grateful to these wonderful people for helping me make “Can’t Even”
I’m really proud of it and couldn’t have done it without you!
Thank you!

Here’s Bored - a love letter to Charlies 🖤

2:41 of it exactly as it was — Smirnoff ice, party lights, all the feels late at night

@wonderfulprincesschelsea @meanbitchproductions is an absolute video genius!!! ✨

Made with the best humans:
Chelsea Nikkel
David Joel Harris on lights
Jen from Ares Artistry
Daniel Barrett, Joe Kaptein, Bob Frisbee & Christopher Stratton and Lucia Diamantés keeping spirits up always

Huge thank you to Alicia and the Charlie’s whānau — a beaut welcoming home for anyone who needed karaoke on K’Rd. This place will be so missed. Closing party coming… start thinking about your song choices😁

Also the place I’ve absolutely destroyed the vibe with the saddest ballads more times than I can count, so it felt right to shoot our saddest song here.
Love, Priya ♥️♥️♥️
