The vision of Zillionstars brand is simple, to select talented musicians with potential to be a Zillionstars and propel them to make their dreams happen by creating unique events.
Fresh from the Rhythm & Vines Cellar Tour, Blackbird are a Crosby Stills & Nash style band with earthy undertones that reflect the wonderful east coast mixing harmonica, percussion & even a didgeridoo! Settle into the Northern Steamship early from 6pm to enjoy.
Charlie Ash is the reputed sexiest Auckland punk-rave-theatre-clash quartet! Eccentric Rosie Riggors heads the band flashing a style that hasn't been seen since the 80's and immediately sets the scene for a funky boogie.
Now your rolling into The Coshercot Honeys who ooze tunes that are a little bit psychedelic, with a slice of punk where the whole band is involved in writing & arranging of each song. Influenced by bands such as The Doors, The Horrors & The Libertines, the Honeys are sweet on the ear.
Whitebirds & Lemons formed in late 2005 at a friend's party. Petit & young Scott Fitz has such a powerful voice and the sounds of Whitebirds & Lemons echoes Franz Ferdinand. They are soon to release their mini-album "Who Says You're Free?"
Headlining are Electric Confectionaires a four-piece band from Devonport who won the 2005 Smokefree Rockquest. The Confectionaires album is due to be released next month with a killer hit named Late Night Shopping. Their raw talent and energy will electrify with traces of the retro Beatles era.
The music will continue with special guests Clarke Gayford & DJ Automatic mixing up party tunes to air guitar too till late.
