- Jon Toogood is a New Zealand rock god.
As a teenager in Wellington, he swapped his cricket bat for a guitar, formed a band called Shihad and never looked back.
Since then, he has been named NZ vocalist of the year 3 times and has even been inducted into the NZ music hall of fame.
It’s not very often you get this sort of unfiltered access and time with a rock star who has been to hell and back so this was a real treat.

I had the honour of going to Naenae college with Aaron, Clint (WETA) and was in a band with Tuma.
Aaron was one of the most talented and amazing musos he would literally practice probably at least 9 hours a day he wrote such amazing sonngs
sensational interview 👏
Great interview l. Awesome insights to his life and views. Had to watch the whole thing.
I dont think NZ understands the gem these videos are
Entertaining chat boys. Great podcast format. ❤
Jon, dish up some Killjoy era material on ya next album!
Awesome interview until politics were involved
Pacifier was a terrible band name. They’re a great band, sad they had to do that. Definitely had an effect on them in the US for sure.
He was excellent until the end when it was obvious he had no idea what he was talking about.
He's brilliant, but he's not very bright.
