Troy Kingi's Desert Hikoi (2024- )
Multi-award-winning Māori musician and actor Troy Kingi is up to his eighth album in his ambitious 10/10/10 mission, where he aims to record 10 albums in 10 genres in 10 years.
However, for the past few years, writer's block has caused Troy's creative river to run dry.
In the hopes of sourcing some much-needed inspiration for his upcoming desert-rock album (a first-love genre for him), Troy makes the journey from Kerikeri to Joshua Tree to fulfil a lifelong dream of recording at one of the most iconic music studios in the world, Rancho De La Luna.
With the ambitious schedule of writing and recording an entire album in just 10 days, Troy and his band need to dig deep. Luckily for them, the Joshua Tree desert is filled with lots of interesting and eccentric locals who are more than happy to help Troy and the band get inspired.
Desert Hīkoi isn't just a music documentary; it's the journey of a group of artists finding their richest vein of creativity, whilst going deep within and learning about themselves.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
