Freyja's Thrash N Bash
Valhalla proudly presents Molosser, Marrow Spawn, Brainwave, Pissbaby, and Drunk with Power in a punk show with local purpose.
For over almost a decade Freyja has helped to keep Valhalla running behind the scenes, all while toughing it out through some gnarly health conditions.
After years of battling the public health system she has finally got an appointment with a private specialist in May - but this will cost upwards of $2,000 for the initial assessments and travel to Auckland, not to mention any ongoing treatment costs.
Now it’s time to give back to a person integral to this place many call home - with some 04 hardcore and grindcore, a noise set from Drunk With Power, ART FOR SALE from various dope artists, and a RAFFLE for the opportunity to win some of Freyja’s treasured BONE COLLECTION!!!
