The Rock presents the NZ Music Month Sessions

The Rock presents the NZ Music Month Sessions at Ding Dong Lounge next month!

Five of Auckland’s top bands Fire At Will, Ekko Park, Silence The City, New Reptiles & Valedictions are set to rock the NZ Music Month Sessions at the Ding Dong Lounge in Auckland CBD next month.

Fire At Will’s impressive live show has earned them gigs with Supergroove, I Am Giant, The Feelers, Blacklist and Devilskin as well as a mainstage spot at the Jim Beam Homegrown festival in 2014. Their first single ‘Can’t Wait’ saw them climbing the NZ Rock chart with ‘Rivers’ and ‘She’ll Rev You Up’ from their debut album ‘The Way Out’ receiving extensive play on the radio airwaves. Fire At Will perform the NZ Music Month Sessions on Friday 8 May.

Ekko Park has sold out tours across New Zealand, toured the United Kingdom and Ireland, received substantial airplay on local and international TV and radio stations and their debut album ‘Tomorrow Tomorrow Today’ was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2014 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. Catch these guys on Friday 22 May at the NZ Music Month Sessions.

Valedictions are a three piece Rock outfit who in March released their debut, self-titled EP. In 2010 they played at the Big Day Out and supported The Viels with Cairo Knife Fight. They’ve had several tracks played on The Rock including singles ‘Hey Lady’, ‘Guilty Man’, ‘Come and Get It’ and ‘Motivation’. Catch Valedictions with Ekko Park on Friday 22 May.

Silence The City are a melodic high energy Rock band. Their debut EP ‘Holdfast’ was released in 2012, featuring single ‘Lie After Lie’ which received radio play. In March they played the mainstage at the Jim Beam Homegrown festival and have since released a music video for ‘Brave’ which was filmed at the event and next month they open for Everclear in Auckland and Wellington. Don’t miss them on Friday 29 May.
