Former Jayhawks front man Mark Olson and his wife and musical partner Ingunn Ringvold celebrated the release of their latest album, Spokeswoman Of The Bright Sun with an intimate show at Auckland’s Wine Cellar.
Fazerdaze packed out Auckland’s Kings Arms last night and the 13th Floor’s Kate Powell and Ivan Karczewski were there to catch all the action.
I’m not sure if he rode like the wind, but 80s hitmaker Christopher Cross and his 6-piece band took over Auckland’s Town Hall to relive his glory days and to play a few new tunes along the way.
Last night’s performance from Kane Strang, Girlboss, The Beths and Eyes No Eyes at Whammy last night proved not only the enduring importance of guitars in modern music, it also brought together some of the best talent within local indie pop.
Katchafire and Kora brought their summertime vibes to Auckland’s Powerstation last night. Also on the bill were L.A.B., featuring former and present members of both Katchafire and Kora. 13th Floor photographer Ivan Karczewski was on hand to catch the action.

The Miltones wrapped up their album release tour in front of a hometown crowd at Auckland’s Tuning Fork. And what a crowd it was…they showed up early and in large numbers making for a very special evening.
Mmmm Mmmm was a multi-stage, multi-band event at Auckland’s Kings Arms featuring the likes of Earth Tongue, The Beths and Miss June.
It was a cosy night at Auckland’s Wine Cellar as Cowboy Dan celebrated the release of their new song Stopping By with help from Being and Mali Mali.
Bands! If you want to sell out The Powerstation, take a cue from The Undertones…record a handful of catchy, punky pop tunes, then wait 35 years to finally get around to playing in Auckland.
Back in 2012 newcomers Pallbearer caused an immediate stir with their debut album Sorrow and Extinction. In a doom metal scene where the most popular sounds were embracing the extreme versions of the genre, or buried in layers of stoner fuzz, Sorrow and Extinction stood out as clean, melodic, epic and meticulously layered.
