More Details

A night for the weird, the heavy, and the beautifully unhinged.


Comorbid

Auckland four‑piece pulling from anything heavy and strange enough to leave a mark. 90s metal, hardcore punk, jazz detours, doomy melodies, wandering basslines, abstract riffs, grooves that hit like a fever dream. It shouldn’t work but it absolutely does. These guys are trippers in the best possible way.


Captain Blistermint

Indie/alt‑rock with a sugar‑rush twist. This Auckland quartet blends the bouncy charm of 60s British bubblegum pop with crunchy modern rock energy. Groovy basslines, bright vocal hooks, crunchy riffs, and lyrics soaked in nostalgic emotion. Infectious, colourful, and impossible not to move to.


No Strangers
