Tove is back, and very happy, after spending last night at The Kings Arms… Last night Auckland was a wonderful place, and Ben from Wellington’s best venue (Valhalla) worked a miracle. Never in my life did I think I’d see Brujeria, let alone in fucking Aotearoa! And to have them play alongside some of Grindcore’s […]
Wednesday the 15th of February 2017 was something of a historic moment; the first time in their 30 year history the experimental doom band Neurosis graced these shores. Rocking the Kings Arms nearly to the ground, Tove Partington went along for a highly anticipated night.
So a few years ago it was announced that Toxic Holocaust would be hitting our shores, to great excitement. Then it was postponed. Then it just sorta dropped of the timetable, being indefinitely put on hold, then it was cancelled. People were pretty pissed, not just because they were hugely disappointed but because of the […]
Tove Partington sat down with the stunningly talented Lindsay Schoolcraft, the voice of Cradle of Filth’s female vocals, keyboard and harp. Talking about being a woman in a male dominated industry, veganisim and Cradle of Filths (hopefully) upcoming tour of New Zealand, give it a watch below! Check out a track from the upcoming album, […]

The history of Punk in Canada (let alone the World) can not be told without the mention of these 4 letters: SNFU. In 1996 they rocked Australia and New Zealand and 2015 sees a return of Chi and his motley crew!
HELLYEAH is a Supergroup that lives up to the title. Featuring ex-Mudvayne singer Chad Gray, ex-Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul, ex-Nothingface guitarist Tom Maxwell, bassist Kyle Sanders (ex-Bloodsimple and brother of Mastodon bassist Troy Sanders) and Christian Brady (ex-Überschall) guitar. HELLYEAH are in a league of their own with their own. Their distinct sound and stage presence is best described as pure metallic fury and […]
Last night was the highly anticipated and sold out show for Portland’s Red Fang….And I think the best way to describe it would be ‘clusterfuck’. Problems with visas then delayed flights, the main act didn’t play till about 02:45, by which time I was pissed and tired and sick of being hit on by dude […]
Unless you have been living under a rock somewhere you are likely aware last night was the final show of the Deathcrusher NZ tour, and I have no need of my (blood and booze stained) notebook to declare it gig of the fucking year. The Kings Arms was more packed than I have seen it […]
Tove Partington had a chat with bassist Derek Boyer of Suffocation prior to their upcoming NZ/Aus tour with Decapitated. Talking accidents, streaming/download politics and upright Bass, you can catch Derek with Suffocation pretty soon; Grab your tickets here, it looks to be a killer show. -Tove m/
