Sport

Inner-city residents living near Britomart won't be having an afternoon nap this Sunday when rowdy Enduro motorbikes take over in the inaugural City Scramble event. Construction of a special track - complete with water jumps, logs, and a banked wall ride - starts on Friday night ready for racing to kick off at 10am Sunday. And best of all, this high-powered petrol-head action is free.

City Scramble - Britomart, May 31, 10am-4pm

INDIE/POP

Central city nightclub Cassette Number Nine's regular indie Friday night welcomes Auckland band The Ruby Suns to the stage this week. The group has toured the US supporting Tilly and The Wall, Europe with The Dodos and more. Head to www.lilchiefrecords.com/therubysuns for more information and funky web design, too.

THEATRE

The latest production from Auckland's Silo Theatre group stars Stephen Lovatt and Josephine Davison in a New York-set comedy. The Scene details what happens when an aspiring trophy wife meets a recently unemployed, older, married man. Theresa Rebeck has "crafted a naughty, sharp-elbowed comedy about the empty narcissism of contemporary pop culture and the savage economies of sex".

ROCK/POP

Autozamm are on the radar of rock fans right now with the release of their sophomore album, Drama Queen, which they describe as "10 riff-dunking songs of love, death and threesomes". The first single, Long Days, showcases a poppier side of the rockers, and you may have seen the colourful music video featuring eight of the Next Top Model finalists.

Autozamm - Sale St, May 28

TRIBUTE

If the names John, Paul, George and Ringo still mean something to you, the SkyCity Theatre could be the spot this weekend for a bit of nostalgia. Beatles tribute band The Beatlemaniacs play there Friday and Saturday, ripping through all the hits of the famous band. Apparently their authenticity is worth a double take - they claim they are authentic "right down to the instruments and the stitching on their winklepicker shoes".
