Adam Hattaway & the Haunters at The Thirsty Dog, 17 April 2021
Adam Hattaway & the Haunters gave it all to a rather indifferent audience at The Thirsty Dog on Saturday night. Their loss!
Concert Review: Voom at the Hollywood Avondale, 16 April 2021
The Hollywood Avondale is packed and pulsing with an electric energy. Up in the Gods section of the balcony, everything starts to feel dreamlike as Voom kick off with Beautiful Day. Measured Baroque Pop as lead singer and founder Buzz Moller lays out some soothing velvet vocals. The screen behind is full of trees. The […]

Concert Review: Mema Wilda at Kumeu Live, 10 April 2021
Mema Wilda delivered a set of enthralling and soulful songs full of raw emotion and psychodrama but totally captivating at the same time. It seemed like a special night for her.

Concert Review: Andrew Fagan & The People – The Wine Cellar April 9, 2021
This New Zealand Pop King appears on stage with a theatrical presence. A glitter costume with a silver crown and cloth face mask. Then Andrew Fagan and the People proceed to let go and rage from the starters gun with Now You Know. Great Power Pop, inventive and hook-laden.
Concert Review: Thomston @ The Tuning Fork, 8 April 2021
Into the yearning world of hero haired Thomston I go! The Tuning Fork doors opened at 8, but it wasn’t until everyone was sipping seconds at 9.20 that the lights switched off. Bam! the LA bound kiwi appeared between fluorescent red lights.
Concert Review: Elemeno P – The Tuning Fork April 9, 2021
It’s 7:30pm on the dot and security have opened the gates and are welcoming us in. The venue is slowly beginning to fill with black, plaid, side bangs and band shirts. Eyeliner is heavy and beers are flowing. Elemeno P’s iconic 2003 album Love & Disrespect is sold out on vinyl within 15 minutes of the […]
