The Save Our Venues crowdfunding initiative has helped Gisborne's two main live music venues continue to support artists and two not-to-be-missed acts are coming right up.
Smash catapulted out of lockdown last Saturday with a Steve Kingi Band gig and at 7pm tomorrow, Gisborne punk rock act Sit Down In
Front play their soon-to-be-released album Confessions Of A Pie Thief with videos.
The young punk rockers will talk about the song lyrics behind tunes about stealing pies from the school tuck shop, karma, and burning sausages on the BBQ and other first world problems. The lads will also talk about the writing and recording process with their producer Greg Haver.
Confessions of a Pie Thief is not released until June 26 so the evening offers an advance listen. Meanwhile, the music video for First World Problems can be found on YouTube via this shortcut: https://tinyurl.com/ya2o7867
Then across town in three weeks time, five-piece band, Supreme Brother Sound with lead singer Phil Tarawa's RnB voice, guitarist Josh Te Kahu's backing vocals and Guy Aupouri on the keys bring a unique sound grounded in roots, rock, soul, funk, RnB and Pacific reggae.
