Music

Schoolboy friends James Reid and Hamish Gee started a legacy that is hard to match. Twenty Five years ago they formed one of our best-loved bands The Feelers and started on a journey that has spawned catalogue of some of the greatest songs written in New Zealand. They truly are a household name.

Along the way they have amassed some remarkable statistics, a quarter of a million albums sold, five multi platinum albums, five number one albums, seven number one singles, the largest selling NZ band ever signed by Warner Music NZ in their 48 year history, 5 NZ Music Awards, 3 APRA most played song of the year awards and more radio airplay than any other New Zealand artist or band since radio stats began in 1999.

The Feelers have gone from busking on street corners to becoming pioneers of the kiwi music industry, thanks largely to the song writing genius of James Reid.

You CAN expect ALL of the gems written throughout their illustrious career, and will play their genuine HITS from their massive catalogue of songs.

Driven by a deep love for live performance, the New Zealand duo has toured extensively, as well as regularly supporting Kiwi greats such as Katchafire and Sons of Zion on their national tours. The duo has also frequently played an intimidating number of staple New Zealand music festival stages, including Northern Bass, Rhythm & Vines and Electric Avenue. A live performance by the duo ensures that no foot is left untapping, with entire venues transitioning from stationary to dancing-their-arses-off in a matter of one song. This includes return performances by popular demand at New Years’ Eve in Hagley Park, Christchurch, which have seen the group perform their high-energy, funk-laced set to 23,000 eager listeners. With the recent addition of rapper LUIS to the fold, Dillastrate have crafted their live set into a high-impact beast not to be missed, and certainly not to be forgotten any time soon.

Christchurch indie dream pop band There’s a Tuesday consists of Nat Hutton and Minnie Robberd’s on guitars and vocals, with Angus Murray on bass and Joel Becker on drums.

Nat and Minnie won the solo/duo division of Smokefree Rockquest in 2019, which gave them the opportunity to work with Six60 bass guitarist Chris Mac. Together, they released their debut single ‘Piñata Head’, which reached number 13 on the NZ Singles Chart.

The free-spirited, eclectic sound of Auckland, New Zealand based artist, vocalist and singer-songwriter LOU’ANA is one of unparalleled magic. Having carved a place for herself within Auckland’s vibrant music community over the past 6 years. Lou’ana’s voice carries the stature of an old soul; a cosmic cocktail of sweet and soulful, with an added gritty, blues edge that references the golden age of Eta James, to the rawness of Stevie Nicks. Her heart and soul translates through sound, in that unexplainable alchemy that happens when music meets word.

After only appearing on the scene at the start of 2020, Jack Page is quickly becoming one of Ōtautahi’s burgeoning young artists.

‘The Days, Pt. I & II’ has been graciously received by listeners both near and far. With the full record racking up over a million streams online and the newly released part 2 attracting many favourable reviews in its first few months, both volumes have now been newly pressed to vinyl as a double EP.

Now after another tour with sold out shows getting us through the colder months and a string of summer shows + new music looming, Jack Page is on a roll and has no intention of slowing down.
