Rocket Berry is departing from home base on a very special mission to their favourite Whanganui venue, Porridge Watson! Fresh off a busy month of gigs, the Alt-Pop four-piece from Wellington will be playing an energetic set that combines the thrust power of a rocket launcher and the juicy tang of the season's sweetest berries.
Joined by Jack Hooker and local heroes The MeanOwls, it's sure to be an epic night!
Want to know more about our eclectic line-up for this special performance?
Rocket Berry is an indie-pop act formed in Te Whanganui-a-Tara in 2022 made up of Clara van Wel, Connor Scott, Ilja Gray, and Peter Wilkes. Synths bridge the gap between folk-rock and disco to create a groove best described as “zeitgeist-pop”.

Jack Hooker is an acoustic guitarist and electronic musician, known locally as a member of the wall-of-sound duo The Shocking and Stunning. Jack will be opening the night with his solo instrumental acoustic guitar soundscapes. Expect intricate fingerpicking, tapping techniques, and open tunings in a mesmorising style that draws from diverse worldwide influences.

MeanOwls blast through time and space with original material straight out of Aotearoa New Zealand’s heart, the mighty 4501. The Whanganui based foursome have an understated but undeniable energy that naturally percolates. Their live shows are hot and sweaty and something fierce oozes out of their music.
Their original material is familiar and compelling. From explosive and brash to complex and exotic the band seems to swirl across musical genres, somehow filling your head with both questions and answers.
MeanOwls are on all social media platforms.
