Gary Steel

Gary Steel is a New Zealand-based journalist whose enjoyment of loud (and quiet) music

hasn’t diminished despite the cicada-like tinnitus he suffers from attending thousands of

rock gigs in his 40-plus years of music journalism. In that time, he has also interviewed a

who’s who of contemporary music and reviewed just about every record going for whoever

would publish his pungent opinions. He has edited and published several music magazines,

run his own record store and now hides away in an obscure location where he lives with his wife

Yoko and two wee monsters, and runs his www.Witchdoctor.co.nz website.
