RACING IS BASICALLY THE OLD CHECKS !!

After rave reviews of their debut EP, Racing is gearing up for their second national tour through Whanganui, Napier, New Plymouth, Wellington and Auckland. For those who are still yet to see Racing live, you are in for a genuine full 40 oz.

Racing’s live show is as equally punishing as it is liberating, their sound is other-worldly 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.

Andrew Tidball from Cheese on Toast said – “Holy shit! The debut E.P. from RACING sounds abso-fuckin-lutely huge! Can you fit it into your ears? It’s so freaking solid!”

Connor Whitten of TV3 described the Racing’s live show as “NZ’s best new-rock-group-you-should’ve-heard-of-by-now.”

Racing E.P.

But the good news doesn’t stop there, Racing won’t be touring alone, they will be co-conspiring with Auckland band Husk. HUSK is heavier than heavy. A Fuzz Junkie trio with their debut album in the can, single climbing the charts and a sound that can only be described as ‘molten rock’ this will not be the last time you read their bio.

Check out the debut single off Husk’s album “Take Your Time”:

Under Bare Poles

(Monique Aiken and Peter Quilter) are a indy folk duo.

Songs of the sea and matters of the heart.

Aiken spent her childhood roaming the Port Hills of Christchurch. Classically trained with an interest in the Jazz scene, Aiken spent a few years travelling and finally found her voice in folk.

Their music is intimate and honest harking back to the 60s & 70s American folk scene with a contemporary edge.

The pair are touring the country July – August for the official release of | The Blue Barn Sessions EP’s |  and Aiken’s full length Debut Album  | String |

This week at the Cabana the 26th of June

FANE FLAWS IS A NZ LEGEND !!!  !

A musician, songwriter, and artist, and over all talent.

He is joined in NO ENGINE by fellow legend Tony Backhouse.

He was a member of bands including Blerta, Spats and The Crocodiles. He adopted the name Fane when he joined Blerta.

He wrote many of the songs used in the film Meet the Feebles.

He animated the titles for Radio with Pictures, a Television New Zealand programme featuring popular and alternative music.

“I made music for a living for about 13 years, playing guitar, singing and song-writing for a string of bands including BLERTA, SPATS, THE CROCODILES, & I AM JOE’S MUSIC. When this ridiculous lifestyle became untenable due to a young family, I began painting and making film clips for other bands. Eventually I eschewed live music, succumbing to the lure and thrill of advertising (aka money) and directed TVCs for a living, while continuing to paint, write songs and record. In the last twelve years of making art full time, I have found myself obsessed with finishing a raft of recording projects with lifelong soul brothers & collaborateurs BEND (Tony Backhouse & Peter Dasent). Tony & I also have a fabulous live band NO ENGINE in our hometown of Napier NZ, where we await the inevitable arrival of Pete. This is my youtube channel which hosts a bunch of my videos for various bands including …. THE MUTTON BIRDS, THE FRONT LAWN, TIM FINN & HERBS, DAVE DOBBYN, THE MACHINATIONS and various manifestations of our own eccentric combos”.
