Turn On The News, Threat Meet Protocol, No Name On Record

Turn on the News:

Out of the gloom of the Rotorua valley comes Alt rockers 'Turn on the News'. The three-piece unit of guitar bass and drums combine raw power with fine song crafting.

With influences from Punk, Metal, and 80's New Wave the band has been described as a cross between Culture Club and Black Sabbath. To be seen to be believed.

Turn on the News revive an early punk and hard rock sound with driving rhythms. The sulphur city has unearthed some untapped energy not to be missed.

Band Members:
Terry Farrelly - Drums
Matt De Farias - Bass/Vocal
Justin Sherborne - Guitar/Vocal

Threat Meet Protocol:
Come and listen to a story about a band named Threat.
Poor music pioneers, barely kept their flat let,
Then one day they were playin at some club,
And up through the crowd came an executive dude.

Recording deal that is, Sign here, play there.

Well the first thing you know ol' Threats. a mega-star,
Kinfolk said "Threat. move away from here"
Said "Auckland is the place you ought to be"
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Ponsonby.

Snobs, that is. Yuppies, Shortland St stars.

Well now its time to say goodbye to Threat. and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin' in.
You're all invited back a gain to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of their musicality

Punk that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?Band Members:
Austin Cunningham (bass, vocals)
Evan Pope (drums)
Luke Turner (keyboards)

No Name on Record:

We trolled through the archives for 'No Name on Record', yet as the name suggests we came up with nothing. The band was hand-picked from an esteemed music promoter so we wait in anticipation for their alleged wizardry in the art of making music. Rumoured to hail locally yet we know no more. These are the dark horseman for this show.
