Massive Wine Cellar/Whammy gig on Guy Fawkes’ Day

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010 by Ashley Noel Hinton

Lots of awesome bands - 5 Nov 2010

Guy Fawkes’ Day is the traditional time for us in the colonies to blow junk up for some reason that we all learnt in fourth form social studies but all forgot exactly why because OMG EXPLOSIONS. V for Very Nice!

Friday November 5th will see St Kevin’s Arcade bursting at the seams as Wine Cellar and Whammy fill with these kick-ass bands: NevernudesPopstrangers, Wilberforces, The Bemsha Swing, The Gladeyes, Matthew Crawley, Debutantes, Hold Dear, and Spirit Ditch.

And us, of course! Canadia likes asplode, too!

It’s $15 for the whole thing. “So cheap!” you exclaim, and exclaim you should, but truer words were never etc. It’ll kick off around 8pm.

FYI: Some moron is going to try and set off fireworks in the arcade, I just know it. To this idiot I say: dude, that’ll set off the fire alarms and we’ll all end up outside and I hate that. Blow that shit up in the park! And let me know when you’re doing it cause I want to see some FLAMES.

RSVP on Facebook.

UPDATE: Popstrangers had to pull out. They will be replaced by the rad-as Nevernudes.

Gig tonight at Whammy with Black Science, Mason Clinic and Roy Irwin

I almost forgot to mention that we’re playing at Whammy Bar tonight for the first time as a three-piece. Well, second time, but now it’s official. Back then it was just a passing phase.

We’re playing alongside Black Science, Mason Clinic and Roy Irwin. Entry is by donation to raise money for Claire Perrett’s partner and son. Doors will open around 9:30pm, and I expect the music will kick in at 11pm when Wine Cellar finishes.

RSVP on Facebook.

Free show at Whammy Bar on Friday 30 July

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010 by Ashley Noel Hinton

It’s a birthday, and the birthday girl wants you to come see Canadia, Death Valley, and The Vietnam War at Whammy Bar in Auckland. It doesn’t cost a thing to get in, which means you can party easy knowing that your money can go right across the bar and help those pale Whammy bar-people.

You can start feeding the starving bar staff from 9pm on Friday 30th July. Don’t forget to RSVP on Facebook so you can get their hopes up. This is also useful if you need to prove to someone that you really have something to do that night.
