Mister Unit and friends are celebrating their latest release - a six song, mini album - There's Always Someone With A Bigger Schtick. They are joined by The Clangers and Cherry Punch
There are times when nothing will hit the spot like a dirty filthy good old-fashioned hard hitting rock and roll band, and that is exactly what we have here. If I didn't know they were from Wellington I would have guessed possibly New York, as there is no way they sound Kiwi. Mister Unit are a quintet with three guitars who sound as if they have been raised on a diet of MC5, The New York Dolls, George Thorogood & the Destroyers and The Stooges while possibly taking something from The Angels and even AC/DC. This is solid real rock music, with a rhythm section that sets the foundation and keeps it tight - Kev Rowland.
This is a real rock band made up of ex-members of some great New Zealand bands - TAB, Budokan, Vas Deferens and the Flash Harrys.
Cherry Punch are the best punk rock band ever formed, and if you disagree you can fuck off.
Based in Wellington, New Zealand, this four piece punk band is one to keep your eye on. With tasty jams that produce a constant stream of beautiful noise and lyrics that challenge the seedy underbelly of abuse, this is an act not to miss.
The Clangers are an epic trio of seasoned Wellington and Wairarapa musicians that play inventive, progressive rock music with more than just a little bit of class. If your music tastes leans towards exceptional musicianship with cool hard grooves you will love this band.
The doors open at 7.30pm and The Clangers will be on at 8.00pm sharp.
Valhalla is at 154 Vivian Street, Wellington, New Zealand
