Tauranga Takeover @ The Last Place Bar, Hamilton – Friday 24th January 2025
Hold onto your ripped denim, Hamilton! The Tauranga Takeover is crashing into The Last Place Bar on Friday, January 24th, 2025. Get ready for a raucous night of unrelenting punk chaos as Hemordroid, Hoick, and Two Skinner bring their Tauranga-flavored anthems of mayhem on a whirlwind tour of the Auckland Anniversary Weekend
What to Expect:
Commodore 65 kicks things off with the energy of a wild garage jam.
Chuck! Chuck, it’s Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you’re looking for? Well, listen to this!”
Joshua on noise, Phil on bass, and Jessica on drums.
Shed punk from Hauraki.
Drop Off Point, Hamilton’s hardcore juggernauts will shut the night down with a brutal, high-energy set. Known for their raw, unapologetic sound, these guys are the perfect closer for a night of pure chaos. With crushing breakdowns, relentless energy, and lyrics that demand to be shouted back, Drop Off Point reminds you why Hamilton hardcore has a reputation for being not for the faint of heart. Expect circle pits, sore necks, and a whole lot of shouting ONE MORE SONG! at the end of the night.
