SHAKES AND THE TROUBLE MAKERS are a punchy four-piece surf rock band, well known around Dunedin for their Rock n' Roll antics, colourful personalties, powerhouse originals, and BIG sound!!
They have been described as a street brawling, kicked out of pubs, not allowed on the bus, Rock n Roll band”.
With Shakes’s signature reverb drenched guitar and deep mellow vocals, backed up by the heavy duty rhythm section of Pottley Mostly and Red's (aka Alan Metcalfe's) thundering beat, a cast of strong backing vocals, topped by the soaring heights of David Prendergast’s soul churning guitar solos, these really guys know to put on a show!
Enthralling and entertaining an audience of thousands, they were chosen as The Headline Act, two years running at the Dunedin NYE party in the Octagon 2023 & 2024 where they captured the hearts of many, still humming along to their favorite tunes.
Their no frills good to go recently released self titled album produced by local music producer Tom Bell is a must for lovers of Rock n Roll, honest music, kiwi music, great music and dangerous music.
Making a comeback with a nod to past shared gigs are old friends Ticket for Non Groovers, now a two piece drum and bass unit known for their easy blend of grooving psychedelic beats.
Don't miss this fabulous night of top-notch kiwi music and entertainment, guaranteed to blow your socks off!!
