Wiri Donna, Elliott Dawson, And F.A.I.R.Y

Three of the finest rock music acts out of Te-Whanganui-a-Tara join together for a special evening of big business in Tāmaki Makaurau. Yes, it’s a Thursday, but there’s no work on Friday and it’s a dedicated public holiday weekend for washing away your sins and trespasses. Ask yourselves, what would Jesus do? Please note: to comply with strange and outdated alcohol regulations, festivities must be wrapped up and under the tree by midnight.

$15 earlybird tickets available from Under The Radar. $20 general admission available thereafter. Merch via cash or bank transfer.

Wiri Donna: Wiri Donna began as a sensitive indie folk act. Now two years later after multiple tours and supporting heavy hitters such as Fontaines D.C., Skegss, & The Beths she is breaking her stride with a larger and emphatic rock sound. Led by songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Bianca Bailey the now 4 piece band makes for an energetic live show. Including members Harrison Scholes (Arjuna Oakes, F.A.I.R.Y), James MacEwan (Arjuna Oakes), & Elliott Dawson (DOONS). In early 2022 Wiri Donna released her debut EP ‘Being Alone’, a coming of age record that’d been brewing for a few years

Elliott Dawson: plays angry art rock. Fresh off the bat of the release of his debut album ‘Hang Low’, Elliott Dawson returns in 2023 with a punnet of new material, following a harrowing summer of festivals. Recently having been announced as support for Black Midi, Dawson and his band of dream people (Olivia Campion, Pierce Higginson, Reuben Topzand, and Elizabeth Hocking) are ready to leap forward into the absurd.

F.A.I.R.Y: Wellington based cyborg garage pop band F.A.I.R.Y have been toiling away in their garage for the past year working on the follow up album to their 2022 album F.*.*.R.Y, stepping outside only to play shows with the likes of other Pōneke-based rock bands DARTZ and DAFM. The new album 'It Lives' is set to be released in May. Expect songs about robots, aliens, and methods of transportation.
