Wed
15 Mar OUSA Air guitar champs. Doors 8pm
To quote
the OUSA website:This competition is kind of like being a
voyeur in a teenage boys bedroom. No not that activity, I
mean when they pretend to be a rock star and jump around in
front of the mirror with a Bruce Springsteen bandanna on.
Air guitar is just like this except instead of a mirror it
is a crowd of people enjoying the performance. People really
get into it and again there are heaps of prizes, cool.. Its
Dunedin’s answer to ‘Stars in their eyes’. “Tonight Matthew
I’m going to be…Ozy Osborne”

four-piece have toured the country multiple times, including
two Punkfest appearances and even a spot on the 2003 Big Day
Out.

camaraderie, and first single Fuji, is a signal of intent:

of Mt Fuji, Call me what you like"

presents: The Riff Rats, Onanon, and The Love Haters. Doors

The Riff Rats: Hey, hey we're the Riff rats and
after our first couple of gigs we were described as jammy,
garage, spaz rock.
So we thought we'd take it.
Onanon:
Four shy music geeks blend greasy, crunchy Dunedin
swagger-stumble with their own inner turmoil. Noisy rocky
pop songs with filthy, furious guitars and spacious, sonic
instrumental grooves are the result.
