Press release:

The little label that could is once again bringing a dangerous dirty dozen to Whammy Bar for the annual 1:12 FEST! On Saturday 9th November, twelve of Tāmaki Makaurau’s finest will play fast and loose at our favourite Karangahape Road den of iniquity, featuring 1:12 Records label mates and mates of the label.

There’s a little something for everyone on the menu, with honky tonk mania from Magic Factory, surf stompers from Echo Ohs and The Cthulus, dynamic duos TOOMS, The Ideas, and the mysterious Roy & Rap: Terminator 2, double Tolley trouble from Bloodbags and Smokin’ Daggers, and new pals Cootie Cuties, The Bemsha Swing, O/PUS, and Du Trois.

These annual rock’n’roll hoe-down showdowns have become the stuff of legend, with 2024 promising to honour the time-honoured tradition of 1:12 Fest being the best damn party of the year. There will be blood.
