BADD ENERGY (AK/WGTN)
A psychedelic mix of guitars, drum machines and genres, Sam Moore, Coco Solid, trixie darko and J.Suave make up this trippy quartet that kick out motley jams blending stoner-swamp riffs with laid back 808 raps.
FANTAILS (WGTN)
Charlie - drums; Na - Bass; Sarsha - Gat and vox. Fast punk with diggable poppy leanings, masked with some...heaviness. Politically motivated lyrics sung in English, Maori and French make Fantails Fantails. New 7/tape release coming soon!
PENNY DREADFULS (AK)
Almost-all-girl punk band Penny Dreadfuls are set to embark on their first national tour with Myth of Democracy. After kicking around the Auckland punk circuit since December 2011, the band is ready to take their unique brand of politically charged punk rock and roll to the rest of the country.
Penny Dreadfuls formed after a series of fateful run-ins at the now defunct Blackheart Infoshop on K’rd. They were bored of seeing the endless wave of scruffy-white-boy bands; wanting something that offered a different perspective and a different energy, they became the change they wanted to see.
Influenced by the music and live energy of bands like L7, Hole and Bikini Kill, Penny Dreadfuls shows are not to be missed or soon forgotten. Unapologetically brash and in-your-face, their live shows are a visceral, cathartic experience.
and DJ sets by Leilani, trixie darko & Coco Solid through out the night.
