The Drab Doo Riffs – Hot Tanya

thebottleneck — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 00:28:51 +0000

Popular among deadbeats in the early Twenty-first century, this 5 piece music-playing band hailed from the greater South Pacific Ocean region. Their pulsating guitar, bass, and drum driven sound was rendered obsolete with the demise of human civilization, but has since regained vogue with interplanetary travelers, as, by all accounts, it rules to ride rockets to.

Denmark Street – Will You?

michaelurban — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 06:37:47 +0000

Denmark Street is a rock’n'roll trio with members hailing from Germany and NZ, now living in Christchurch and Wellington. Their eclectic influences and individual styles run the gamut of left-field 20th-century popular music, and feed off one another to form a fertile musical jungle that the boys enjoy exploring when they come together. Denmark Street are known for their thrilling live show, with a punkish aggression, larger-than-life showmanship not often seen since the 60s and an improvisational quality straight out of the blues.

Winner of the 2008 Radio Active HANDLE THE JANDAL “Best Concept” and “Rising Star” awards.

Coming of the 2009 debut album Dog this is St James Infirmary. Formed with the aim of playing drinking music for drunks. Their style has been described as “funeral pop” and “carny prog” and generally runs in the vein of dark and grinding country music. And a note from the website reads; Von Klap are terribly interested in selling out, and are open to offers. Please get in touch if this interests you.

Sons of Midas – Hard Times

michaelurban — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:56:06 +0000

If asked in a genial fashion, the band would most likely describe their sound as a rather tone-filled mix of surf-rock and bluesy rock and roll, framed in a backdrop of fast country infused panoramas. They would almost certainly then proceed to tell you that they enjoy and would like to give praise to the likes of Link Wray, Dick Dale, Screaming Jay Hawkins and Tom Waits.

Steeped in the tradition of great British-based 60’s R’n’B bands, North Shore band, The Earlybirds are an incendiary live act, who have recently supported The Feelers, Pluto and the Checks. The Earlybirds are another fine example of the new breed of teenage Kiwi bands gaining recognition.
