Junk Mail & Goose Garden are stoked to deliver a slice of Tāmaki Makaurau’s favorite alternative music festival to Te Whanganui-a-Tara this Friday 6th June at Meow, Edward St.
On Friday, June 6th, Meow will host two of the Adelaide’s/Tarndanya, Kaura Land’s finest noise-makers; Twine and The Empty Threats.
Noise-rock meets eruptive strings and stinging country in five-piece Twine, who are well accustomed to our shores already, having first played here in 2024 as a part of Camp A Low Hum. They made their triumphant return with four headline shows in February just gone and we’ve already got them coming back for more.
Raucous art-rockers The Empty Threats also make their much-needed return to Aotearoa after stand-out sets at 2024’s Camp A Low Hum; now with new music on the way - bracing for impact. Rambunctious modern post-punk meets a nostalgic Aussie flare with driving guitar and the rocket-fueled contortions of front-person Stu Patterson.
Joining the lineup are Te Whanganui-a-Tara favourites Macho Macho - these four manage to turn a rock ‘n’ roll show into something more closely resembling a circus act. Anyone who’s seen them will tell you the group presents a hair-raising balance between sweaty musical prowess and long-distance runner stamina that will tickle you pink. We’re beyond excited to be bringing them back to the stage after a year long hiatus.
True Mets is possibly the city’s most hotly anticipated new act. A three piece formed by Dunedin musician Emi Sharma (who was mentored by none other than The Bats’ Robert Scott) joined by Kindekel Banda (previously of Bleeding Star), as well at Newtown artist Claude Butler. All of us are dying to get a chance to see what they’re all about, and that chance has come. Don’t miss your window to witness history as Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s most promising emerging band deliver their debut live venue performance.
