Metal @ the Dog's Bollix featuring FUELSET, Resporn, Halo of Ashes & Filth Dog. Entry at 8PM / $5.
FUELSET:
Fuelset first formed in 2005, and through hard work, persistence and uncompromising dedication, have carved a lasting niche in a scene that sees many bands fade into obscurity.
With the recent addition of their newest member, X-Zile, on vocals, their unique fusion of solid aggressive Metal with the likes of Reggae, Hardcore and Rapcore has really set them apart from the rest, and their intense live show is guaranteed to entertain any live music fan.
After releasing their debut album Tear it Down early in 2009, the band received extensive radio airplay on metal shows throughout New Zealand. Their videos have also appeared on music TV stations in New Zealand and Australia.
One of their tracks ‘The Gap’ was picked up for use on an episode of kiwi television show Outrageous Fortune and ‘Tear it Down’ was also broadcast in it's entirety to Camden markets in London in early 2010.
In late 2011, Fuelset completed their second album, ‘Sounds of a Dying Seagull’, and released it in 2012, following this up with a tour of the North Island, wherein they received amazing responses from show attendees, along with positive feedback from fellow musicians and music buffs alike. They are looking at following this up with a South Island tour in the very near future.
The first singles from the album, ‘Leading Goats to Water’ and 'Alone' have received rave reviews from listeners.
With the constant desire to grow, improve and really mix things up, it’s definitely going to be a case of watch this space.
HALO OF ASHES:
Intertwining a hard rock essence with heavy metal grooves, Halo of Ashes' unique snarl gathers influence from a wide variety of bands, including The Doors, Alice in Chains, Skid Row and Lamb of God. Capturing a raw and powerful energy that cannot be denied, Halo of Ashes injects a much-needed dose of no-nonsense into an often plasticized musical climate.
FILTH DOG:
Straight out of Henderson Valley, Filth Dog is a raw melting pot of hard driving Rock & Roll, dirty grooves and slow burnin' blues that will set your bar room on fire and get your mojo working.
