The Grates Live


95bFM and umusic.co.nz proudly present in association with Teenage Kicks and Your Face

The Grates Live

August 3rd, at Cassette 9.

AND AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL NOW FEATURE SUPPORT FROM CAT VENOM And X-RAY FIENDS!

Cat Venom

It may seem Cat Venom are having a relatively quiet 2011; they've come out from hiding a few times to play a select number of shows. The truth of the matter is much different though. The two-piece have been working hard towards writing new material, strengthening their sound and aiming high - skipping the traditional EP route and instead releasing a full length-er for Summer 2011/2012. Picking and choosing their musical bouts, all the while punching above their weight, Zina and Maeve are starting to emerge at the tail end of the year to eager audiences and even eager-er ears.

Music for girls who are bored of diet grrl and the diluted female rock, check out Cat Venom for your dose of old-school Punk ideals; take something, fuck it up, and deliver it without caring who cares.

X-Ray Fiends

Two part Shore-land, one part Highway 16 - that’s where the X Ray Fiends live. Bonded in their love of Nuggets and early Sabbath, the X Ray Fiends have just recorded an EP of material for release in late August 2011.

Having taken out the 95bFM Summer Series Battle of the Bands this year, and with their track Tsunami currently doing the rounds on the b, X-Ray Fiends are sure to warm up the Wednesday Night.

The Grates [ http://thegrates.com/]

Off the back of their brand new album, Secret Rituals, The Grates bring their infectious indie-pop across the ditch for one show only at Cassette Number Nine!

Having spent the better part of two years immersing themselves in Brooklyn culture, their triumphant new long-player Secret Rituals sees The Grates take on a few traits of the city that never sleeps, tough in its intent and infectious in its delivery

Now is the time to see them up close and personal.
