Adam Hattaway & The Haunters – Whammy Bar: December 7, 2024
Adam Hattaway and The Haunters performed at Whammy Bar last night, delivering a maddening cocktail of raw talent, chaotic indulgence, and fleeting brilliance – intoxicating but frustrating, an illusion of greatness that leaves an aftertaste of wasted potential.
Dartz, Dune Rats (AUS) & Groopchat – Double Whammy: December 5, 2024
This late afternoon/early evening show is a bit of a cherry on top, on top of the rua Dartz/Dune Rats R18 shows happening in Tamaki Makaurau and Poneke this weekend. An all-ages show, scheduled for, before the main event at 8pm. The scheduled doors at 4pm, didn’t actually happen until 5pm, for a show that […]
Artemas – Powerstation: December 3, 2024 (13th Floor Concert Review)
The skies were clear, but inside Auckland’s Powerstation, it was a different story—thick haze and fog engulfed the venue, setting the stage for an atmospheric night of dark RnB. Fans packed into the dimly lit space, buzzing with anticipation for the final stop of Artemas’ “You’re Really Early…” the tour.
Highly Suspect – Spark Arena: December 1, 2024 (13th Floor Concert Review)
The incredibly talented band, Highly Suspect, finished their tour for their recently released fifth album, As Above So Below at Spark arena in Auckland last night. I’m not sure who brought it harder, the band or their seriously dedicated fans.
The Others Way 2024 – K Road Venues: November 30, 2024
The weather was not ideal, in fact it was very damp, but that didn’t keep music lovers away from this year’s Others Ways Festival as nearly 50 acts played across 10 venues over 7 hours.
Original Wailers – Powerstation: November 26, 2024
Last night the Powerstation was giddy with anticipation for The Original Wailers to play their golden anniversary. The house was full, but not uncomfortably so; there was room to dance, and Al Anderson and the rest of the crew were happy to oblige, bringing the audience a set full of some of Bob Marley’s more […]
Bob Mould – The Powerstation: November 23, 2024
Bob Mould went solo electric at Auckland’s Powerstation last night. The 13th Floor’s Lawrence Mikkelsen reports back and Chris Zwaagdyk supplies the photos.
The Cult – Spark Arena: November 21, 2024 (13th Floor Concert Review)
The Cult returned to Auckland, eight years to the day after their previous show at The Powerstation putting on a show that was, in Ian Asbury’s words, “way better than last time”.
Spotlights & Threat.Meet.Protocol – Whammy Bar: November 21, 2024
Not yet of an age where seated concerts by The Cult are justifiable, youthful (in my mind) 13th Floor Reviewer Simon Coffey chose instead to hang out with the young(er) folk as American Ipecac recording artists Spotlights kicked off their debut Aotearoa Tour at Whammy. Here is Simon Coffey’s review and subpar Photos (you can […]
