Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Come all ye sinners and saints and join Bad Bride and their special guests on a evening of sonic mayhem.
The hosts of the evening is Aucklands legends Bad Bride, who recently released their album, The First Chapter. Cultivating their music mainly from punk rock and psychobilly, Bad Brides two pronged guitar and double-bass attack remains one of the few underrated bands in New Zealand.
Of similar roots is Dick Dynamite and The Doppelgangers from neighbouring town, Hamilton. Not their first visit to Auckland, this band too remains one of the few engaging acts in New Zealand.
The Murderchord is not quite an unfamiliar band to the audiences of Auckland. Their music remains indescribable, except that The Murderchord is truly FANTASTIC. Imagine Jerry Lee Lewis and the Sex Pistols all in one.
Last but not least is new kids on the block The Broadsides, who recently made their debut alongside The Bilge Rats and The Murderchord. The Broadsides also remains an indescribable band. For lack of better words the fusion of rockabilly slap-bass, thunderous bluegrass beats, dark swamp blues, furious slide-guitar and gothic images are but a few words that can describe what they get up to.
