I had always been slightly indifferent to Broods, despite hailing from the same region of Nelson which usually entails compulsory loyalty to anything that originates from there.
Standing in the ASB Arena after Kings has played, the overhead lights were on and people were awkwardly bopping to Rihanna and Justin Timberlake.
The lights dimmed and Georgia Nott, the female half of Broods, was standing before the crowd.
Georgia's brother, and the male half of the duo, Caleb Nott, began jamming the trance-like synthetic beats.
They were captivating and with the first song they played I was hooked.
Broods has performed all over the world, with major artists such as Sam Smith and Ellie Goulding and you could see their expertise in putting on a high-end show - and yet the concert has a distinct Kiwi feel.
Georgia had no shoes on, having forgotten them, and did the whole show barefoot. She certainly wasn't the only one at the show jamming barefoot.
The crowd consisted of an incredibly diverse age range.
We bopped next to a woman with a child sitting happily on her shoulders, watched a young boy chow down on Nerds lollies while he danced, saw a group of 20-something guys headbang to every song and swayed next to an older couple who were just there to enjoy the music.
Broods played new stuff, released in their second album 'Conscious' in June last year, but also played their old favourites like 'Four Walls' and 'Mother and Father'.
Despite the at times awkward lighting situation where it was just too bright, leaving people sheepishly stop dancing, the concert was a banger.
Broods were on tour as part of the Electric Coastline event along with Kings and Theia.
