Got your Halloween weekend plans sorted? We’ve got eight must-see local gigs to choose from including Ha the Unclear, Cut Off Your Hands, Adam Hattaway and The Haunters, and even more musical treats.

Ha the Unclear
Our buddies, the very clever Ha the Unclear are back with new music, and a string of headline shows across Aotearoa on their ‘Stranger’ Tour. With a wonderful new video out today for ‘Strangers‘, these kooks play Auckland’s Whammy Bar on Friday. Superb!

Julia Deans
The spectacular Julia Deans is playing an intimate gig at Ponsonby Social Club this weekend. From Fur Patrol’s iconic lead singer to solo star, Deans is one of New Zealand’s
most finest artists. There’s new tunes, and old favourites on the cards – not to be missed!

Cut off Your Hands
It’s counting down to the last hoo-rah from the legends of Cut Off Your Hands as the Auckland band farewells their decade-plus, scene-shaping stint together with two final shows at Whammy Bar tonight and Wellington’s San Fran Friday. If you missed out on tickets, their mighty fine new album HLLH should ease the pain … or make it much worse. Either way, get stuck in – we hear it sounds even better on vinyl. Thanks for the A+ music and memories over the years COYH!

Don McGlashan
Lucky for those who snapped up tickets to see Don McGlashan’s sold-out show in Christchurch this weekend. Don will play with a full band comprising the mighty talents of Shayne P Carter (Dimmer, Straightjacket Fits), bassist/guitarist James Duncan (Dimmer, SJD, Punches) and drummer/percussionist Chris O’Connor (Phoenix Foundation). He plays Auckland next month!
