LIGHTNIN TAPE WOLF - Last seen around the Newtown caves of the Windy City, the latest bizarre scientific experiment in the long series of experiments to forge a freakish being made of tape and human. This latest sonic travesty of science has resulted in a half man/half tape/half wolf. Yeah you do the math! We should expect something more primal, and more animal than before. Surf trash pushed to a more howling and harrowing degree!
BLOODBAGS - 2 parts Dirtbags, 2 parts Bloody Souls, 4 parts Bloodbags! The Bloodbagmen have hit the ground running since cooking up their rok brew from the end of last year. Twin Messerschmitt geetar dive bombing, hooked up to a solid rollicking Holden chassis. From the sizzled sideburns of the Burning Wang festival to the beer stained floor of the Tiger Spit Garage to ginger root gluttony and string snapping madness at Mighty Mighty, its been one fuzzy adventure after another!
HEIDI PASADENA - After 10 bandcamp albums Roy Irwin finally hooked up his prolific knack for Jay Reatardian/Chris Knoxian melodic songwriting to a solid and sympathetic rhythm duo. That being hard hitting tub thumper Guy outta High Society, and Chief Running Bass, Sam from God Bows to Math. A frenetic and crazily catchy set!
BAD EDISON - New trio up from Wellington for their first Auckland outing, Bad E re-teams Dave and Aidan, pardners in crime previously in Red Country and Sum Tram Tigers w/Stella on the skins and china.
A smorgasbord of shit shakin, foot stompin, ear breakin, & beer makin, dirty sonic rock. First recording Little Rooms has impressed the hell outta lotta discernin Dorkland ears. Cannae wait to hear a full set!
THE MUSCLE -Local AK foursome whove tapped into a local well of reverberating, delay ridden garage pop craziness. 60s Folk garage, early Flying Nun basement Velvetoid ramblings, John Dwyer OC Spectorish melodies, one handclapping snappy raw pop hook after another..stoopidly & sensationally infectious!
