Christchurch Music Showcase - Rock/Funk/Blues Dukes, Mustard, Trillion Band & NRT The Dux-de-Lux, Friday, 18 May 2007, 7:30pm, $5 on the door ((Chart)) in association with BeThere.org.nz and NZ Music Month present a showcase of Christchurch talent at The Dux-de-Lux with live performances from Dukes, Mustard, Trillion Band & NRT. Fresh from their MTV Kickstart NZ competition win, country rockers DUKES will own the Dux stage with their renowned live show. Having supported INXS and Gomez, Dukes 2nd album is highly anticipated and due out soon. Matt Davey from the Press writes: 'Singer Matt Barus is a born frontman and an ingenious songwriter... The band has an impressive grasp on melody and a catchy guitar line, and contrives to weld together snippets of vaguely familiar tunes from the vaults of guitar rock.' The TRILLION BAND is fronted by staunch natural accent rapper Jody Lloyd (trillion/dark tower). In a new transformation of his live show, the band will take a dirty funk blues feel to the dance floor. Along for the ride with these two impressive acts will be the blues-rock style of up and coming 3-piece MUSTARD. And NRT, a fresh young solo acoustic/soul/electronic whiz who completes the line-up. www.christchurchmusic.org.nz www.nzmusicmonth.co.nz www.BeThere.org.nz
