4pm - Burning Embers Unplugged

Accustomed to breaching anything that requires sociable etiquette veteran rock n rollers Burning Embers still do what they do best and that's sharing their brand of music to the masses.
From out of no where they regroup, drink a few, set a plan and do the complete opposite in tasteful fashion. Burning Embers have an uncanny habit of pulling off a great set usually unscripted but full of the essence that is Rock n Roll. " We're not here long enough to care, but we do love a great audience"
Reminiscent of Days of the New and Alice in Chains unplugged they're definitely genuine entertainment.

5pm - Underwire

Underwire are a rock band, whatever that means in these genre times. A group of seasoned musicians with hundreds of gigs under their collective belts, they play it like they mean it, and do it for the song. Underwire began in Wellington in 2010, recording their first EP in a Wainuiomata garage, and since May 2023 have released a bunch of singles gaining strong reviews, UK & US radio play, and a global audience on Apple and Youtube. Sometimes stormy, sometimes surf, sometimes ska, or straight ahead rock, they take you with them on a post-punk journey of energy, melody and story, and you'll know those songs you've never heard before. Indie is good!

6pm - Araiyah - The Band

Known for blending eclectic genres such as Ballads, Reggae, Soul and Indie music into their distinctive sound.
Formed in 2023 Araiyah quickly gained attention for their dynamic live
performances and introspective lyrics, which often explore themes of identity, societal issues, and personal growth, loss and healing, The band consists of 4 hardcase, witty, creative and humbly talented bunch with a Job cheehoo! attribute, each bringing unique musical backgrounds that contribute their genre-defying style. Showcasing their evolution, versatility and Whakawhanaunatanga as

7pm - Hecates Cult

Hecate's Cult, from Otautahi Christchurch, was formed as a trio in October 2020 by Samuel Keen (The Snake Behaviour), Aaron Caldwell (ex-Rezination, ex-Delta Story) and Peter Storey (ex-Delta Story). Combining influences from an array of well-known and more obscure acts, the sound of Hecate's Cult boasts loud guitars, heavy bass and solid drums. Layered on top are stories that integrate Greek mythology with personal tales dealing with mental health and observations of the world around us. Now a duo in the vein of the likes of Godflesh, 2024 sees Hecate's Cult pushing their sound into newfound sonic territories. Join us on the path of night!

8pm - Rain

Wellington folk rock band Rain are the dream weavers of original music, threading their many influences and styles together to create a little bit of magic.
The music is an urban-bohemian celebration of life, love and longing. Their dynamic set will take you from catchy dance-beat pop through to emotional and heart-wrenching rock ballad. And lots of weird stuff in between.
Spiritual undertones and overtones weave deftly through the lyrics, peppering the loom with
contemplations of our existence and the fleetingness of time, while overall remaining joyful and
uplifting, proving that something good can indeed come out of the deepest pain.

9pm - Mister Unit

There are times when nothing will hit the spot like a dirty filthy good old-fashioned hard-hitting rock and roll band, and that is exactly what we have here. If I didn't know they were from Wellington I would have guessed possibly New York, as there is no way they sound Kiwi. Mister Unit are a quintet with three guitars who sound as if they have been raised on a diet of MC5, The New York Dolls, George Thorogood & The Destroyers and The Stooges while possibly taking something from The Angels and even AC/DC. This is solid real rock music, with a rhythm section that sets the foundation and keeps it tight - Kev Rowland, www.muzic.net.nz
The is a real rock band made up of ex-members of some great New Zealand rock bands. Andrew (vocals, guitar) Matt bass) Curtis ((backing vocals, guitar) Pete (drums) Simon (backing vocals, guitar)

10pm - Kāhui

All we can say at this point is we're in for a hip hop treat with some the best of kiwi hip hop vets. Many will know who they are, watch this space for sure.

11pm - The Dead Zephyrs

The Dead Zephyrs have joined the legions of Kiwi bands who are on a mission to revive Rock n Roll. Their journey kicked off a decade ago, honing their craft through a lot of fun nights in the small New Zealand town of Masterton, the middle of nowhere, center of everywhere. With artist influences including The D4, Led Zeppelin and Jet, they offer a new approach to Alt-Rock with elements of psychedelia and blues, while still capturing the essence of vintage Rock n Roll from days gone by.
