Concert Review
Hopetoun Brown – Whammy Bar: December 12, 2024
Hopetoun Brown along with special guest Finn Scholes raised the temperature even higher at Auckland’s Whammy Bar last night. The 13th Floor’s Diana Phillips and Joel Leong were there and their words and pictures are here.
L.A. Mitchell – Pitt St Methodist Church: December 7, 2024
In the sacred intimacy of Pitt Street Methodist Church, L.A. Mitchell delivered 90 minutes of pure, raw emotion and love for music in its many varied but uniquely moving forms. Last night’s solo performance was nothing less than an unforgettable night reminding me why live performances matter.

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

Original Wailers – Powerstation: November 26, 2024
