13th Floor founder Marty Duda picks his top 10 concerts from the past year. How many of these did you see?
Ratso brought out the big guns to Big Fan last night, turning the hipster haven into rock and roll heaven while celebrating the release of their live album.
Tamaki Makaurau rock-and-roll-ramraiders Ratso are releasing their first long player, a live album recorded in Otautahi at Christchurch Town hall last November by Graham Bennett, who recorded and mixed Dead Moon in 1992 for their recent Live In Invercargill double LP release.
Tamaki Makaurau dirtbags Ratso and Bloodbags invaded the sleepy suburb of Pt Chevalier with a deluge of punk rock, garage and RnR, on a damp Rātapu/Saturday night, 13th Floor proto-hack, Simon Coffey went on a bender early on, so to better to denigrate them from behind the barricades.
Steel Panther is a super-realist, anime glam heavy metal shitstorm of band who thunder out an outrageous party on-stage. Fiercely hetero and amplifying cock strut and swagger to a level that would make Mick Jagger blush.
Powerfest! Congratulations to Andrew Matai and his Powertool Records on the event of their 20th Anniversary.
It may be hard to believe, but right here, right now, West Auckland may be the rock & roll capitol of the world. The boys in Ratso sealed that deal last night in (of all places) Titirangi.
