Feel like a ride to catch some live music?
On Saturday there is an outdoor concert at Main Divide winery in Waipara featuring some of the best bands and musicians in NZ, and I have scored some tickets for $45 as opposed to $55 plus booking fee, so you'll save enough money for a couple of beers of wines. Lineup is:
Kora
Kora is a roots, reggae and rock force to be reckoned with - if you’ve never seen Kora play live before, stand back and get ready.
Pitch Black
Their sound is distinctive; ranging from ambient beginnings to cutting acid riffs and thumping rhythmic grooves. Dub is the glue that holds their sound together.
The Phoenix Foundation
Six-piece Wellington band The Phoenix Foundation are described as “nuanced, textured, seductively melodic and vibrant”.
Flip Grater
Flip's style ranges from dirty indie-folk, to gentle introverted lullabies - think Joni Mitchell.
Epsilon Blue
Superb ambient electronica - very cool, very mellow.
Joe Dukie (Dallas Tamaira solo set)
The lead singer for Fat Freddy’s Drop so expect some smooth and mellow sounds.
Hera
Hera began playing classical guitar at the age of 8, and writing her own songs at 14. Now, just 22, Hera features on more than 13 compilations and has released five studio albums - four in English and one in Icelandic, which went gold last year in her homeland.
Module & Cosm
I have seen these guys a few times, and they play seriously cool electronic music that can be danced to or chilled out to.
We'll be leaving from behind Street and Sport at 11.30 sharp, and I need to know numbers by Friday midday to book tickets - I need 12 to get the cheap price, so let me know ASAP if you can make it.
