PRESS RELEASE

AuSM Orientation 2005 @ Auckland University of Technology Monday 28th February to Friday 11 March

Spread over two campus and two weeks, the 2005 AuSM Orientation Festival at the Auckland University of Technology aims to provide entertainment enlightenment for a diverse range of students.

Thus the range of performers crosses boundaries from Drum n Bass (Concord Dawn) Hip Hop (The Fast Crew) and Reggae (Katchafire) to Rock (Deja Voodoo), Indie (from the USA, Lambchop) and Punk (The Bleeders). But there's more to an AuSM Orientation than just bands, also part of the programme are DJ's (Dubhead, Logikal and Dunc tha Funk), a Hypnotist Show (Grant Boddington) and even a Wrestling Demonstration by Impact Pro Wrestling.

All events are free to AUT students (except Lambchop), public tickets to major events(*) are available from Real Groovy Records.
