Taranaki Swamp-Blues Outfit Courtnay & The Unholy Reverie Playing Auckland With Special Guests Silcrow And Skitch Hiker

Taranaki rockers Courtnay & The Unholy Reverie are ready to lift the roof off Aucklands Ding Dong Lounge next Friday 6th December, when they team up with local rock bands Silcrow and Skitch Hiker.

Cited for their fiery live reputation, Courtnay & The Unholy Reverie are bringing their swamp-soaked blues, dark rock ‘n’ roll, and gospel-tinged grit straight from the bone, to Tāmaki Makaurau, ready to deliver an intense, memorable blues-rock performance.

Built on grinding grooves, searing slide guitar, and a voice that sounds like it’s lived a few lives, Courtnay & The Unholy Reverie’s live shows are equal parts revival and reckoning. Expect heavy riffs, deep pockets, and songs that crawl, lurch, and explode…this is music for late nights, low lights, and anyone who likes their blues dirty and dangerous!

“…her range and delivery puts her among the best singers we have…consistently impressive, not just for her singing and playing but her lyrical ability.” - Elsewhere

Thriving in the tension between grit and atmosphere, Silcrow have a sound that is raw but deliberate, with songs built on weight, space, and a sense that something’s always about to break loose. Infused with both intensity and restraint, Silcrow pull listeners into a dark, immersive live experience where groove, noise, and mood all matter. This is music that lingers, is unsettling, hypnotic, and hard to ignore.

Fellow Aucklanders’ Skitch Hiker, are built on movement and momentum, with songs that lean into punchy grooves, sharp dynamics, and a restless energy that feels constantly in motion. Blending grit with hooks and a strong sense of drive, Skitch Hiker deliver a tight live show, their music that pushes forward and drags the room with it.
