Fat Freddys Drop – Villa Maria Winery January 20, 2018
The weather couldn’t have been better for Fat Freddy’s Drop’s triumphant stopover at Villa Maria Estate Winery last night, the sky cloudless and the sun summery as the crowd wandered through a field into the scenic open-air amphitheater. A nice breeze even stopped it from being too hot, and the wonderful location made for an […]

Shenandoah Davis – Wine Cellar January 19, 2018

Mount Eerie – Academy Cinema January 19, 2018
Phil Elverum, aka Mount Eerie, made the trip from Washington State to Auckland to sing the heartbreaking songs that make up his most recent album, A Crow Looked At Me.

Post Malone – Trusts Arena January 15, 2018
Music aside for a moment, there’s always something gratifying about being in a crowd that are all enthused and and full of love for a common thing. The crowd at American hip-hop/pop sensation Post Malone’s Monday-night Auckland stopover fell short only of Harry Styles’ army of screaming fangirls in terms of the loudest and most […]
Galaxy Bear Photo Gallery – Wine Cellar January 13, 2018
13th Floor photographer Rosie Kestle sauntered down to Auckland’s Wine Cellar last night to take a few snaps of Galaxy Bear who were celebrating the release of their new EP, Gala Xyb Ear.
Vince Staples – The Studio January 13, 2018
A sold out all-ages crowd, originally destined for Powerstation, squished sweatily and excitably into The Studio, percolating in anticipation of Vince Staples taking the stage. Touring on the back of last year’s Big Fish Theory, Staples was preceded by his reputation for rapidly changing styles and incisive lyrics.
