Christmas At the Proms
5 Dec 2014 (Fri)
City West Church, 62c Poplar Grove, Whalers Gate, New Plymouth
Both Christmas and the Last Night of the Proms are synonymous with some of the world’s best loved songs and more than their share of fun and frivolity.
Combining music from these two great festivals into a gala concert, full of famous Christmas carols and songs, flag waving classics like Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia, the Best of British Ballads, Gilbert and Sullivan, skits and jokes with even an appearance from Santa Claus and his little elves.
Music, madness, magic and mayhem makes for a marvelous way to celebrate the Christmas season.
Racing - Carnivalize Tour
13 Dec 2014 (Sat)
The Mayfair, 69-73 Devon St West, New Plymouth
‘Racing’ is a rock and roll band.
Their sound is otherworldly and mind bending. Rhythms that chant and melodies that hover allow them to take the straight rock and roll music they love and take it somewhere new, somewhere entirely theirs. It could be described as hypnotic, groove based, rock and roll with touches of English big beat.
Formed from various Auckland bands Edward Knowles and Sven Pettersen (The Checks) Izaac Houston (Space Creeps) and Daniel Barrett (Sherpa) the boys have been building towards an album over the last year.
‘Carnivalize’ is their first offering, a song about transforming into a heightened version of yourself. Check it out and enjoy the madness.
