Open decks | Doitz | Jacquart | U-day

Doors open at 7pm for open Decks

Two of Aotearoa’s most rungle hardware acts are joining forces for a mid-winter tour across the country this July. Armed with new releases and a reckless lack of MIDI cables, longtime pals Synthetic Children and Diesel Jenny are packing gear into the whip for a trip up and down the motu.

Via hardware synths and drum machines, Synthetic Children (Te Papaioea’s Celina Goacher) is bringing bubbly synths, auto-tuned vulnerabilities, and sub-rattling beats.

Diesel Jenny’s (Pōneke’s Josh Finegan) live set will blend brain-breaking breaks with sugar-rush synths and 3D club energy years. This tour will celebrate the inaugural release of Diesel Jenny’s white label series with a rock-solid RUC-exempt two-tracker.

Ekho Laliah is an Aotearoa based artist who stitches together elements of dream pop, freak folk, and ethereal electronica into sonic tapestries with experimental production as the backbone.

Tickets $15 through UTR or $20 at the door

Music for the Ministry is a charity gig aimed at raising funds for the Downtown Community Ministry, an organisation that helps those living rough on the street by providing them with shelter, food, medical care and much more.

In September of 2024, it was found that 464 people were living it rough on the streets. Compared to 330 in September 2023, that's a 40% increase, and it can only be on the rise with the current cost of living crisis.

6 bands have come together to thrash it out on stage and raise some money for DCM. Alongside the gig, there will also be food donation bins present at the venue! A list of what DCM needs for its foodbank will be posted in this event.

Come down to Valhalla on the 12th of July and put some money to a good cause and catch some of Wellingtons loudest noisemakers!

Before the gig begins there will also be a market at Valhalla from 2pm to help raise additional funds for DCM. Artists and stalls to be announced soon!

If you're unable to make it or would like to make further donations, please visit DCM's website at www.dcm.org.nz

GlassHead Presents: Park Flyers

Park Flyers' music sounds like I love the 90s and I wish I existed back then, except they are just Massey students who like to yell. Starting in Tauranga in 2021, Park Flyers was born as a side project.
