TRAPS PS
All the way from Los Angeles in the US of A, these guys come from the same scene as Mika Miko, No Age and Abe Vigoda. They're touring NZ for the first time. Like ‘em if you like: anxious surf sounds (it’s summer; you should), metropolitan arhythms, a band called the Suburban Lawns, and/or punk bands with three members.

WURLD SERIES
First gig ever! Psychedelic Silver Jews worship. Some of the best Christchurch music from the last two years now as a shit-hot live act.

THE DANCE ASTHMATICS
Fruity fun times novelty show.

HEAVENLY CREATURES
Disgusting electro-goth played by (s)punks, fucking incredible.

T54
Fresh from recording album number 2 (or EP number 6), this is the first time T54 have played since late 2013. They have had an album out on Flying Nun Records.

JIM NOTHING
'Stoned' Jay Sullivan's terribly good one-man garage-scuzz pop act.

SEE YOU THERE!
