Ukulele trio The Nukes play Te Awamutu's The Woolshed

The Nukes

Aotearoa's/New Zealand's most beloved and enduring 'original ukulele trio' - The Nukes - visit our town this month in the wake of the new world order.

The Nukes retreated to the barn over winter to prepare fresh music for a potentially apocalyptic future. What will they emerge with?

Find out ... expect new tunes from the upcoming 2021 Nukes' fourth album to be showcased at these upcoming shows.

For more than 10 years this unlikely league of musical miscreants has traipsed around Australasia, bringing joy and harmony to all they encounter.

And once they built up the courage to leave their beloved West Auckland it all started here in Te Awamutu - with their first show at The Little Theatre.

With three compelling albums of their self-penned tunes as proof of their creative endeavours, The Nukes have sold 7500 physical CDs and have well over 100,000 streams and views.

At the helm is Dave Parker, inveigling with a sparkling voice and a compelling custom uke sound that commands respect.

Swabbing the decks is Curious percussionist 'mysterious' Mike Burrows (who also packs a spry falsetto) while the audacious slide ukulele and wry humour of Ben Collier keep the whole shebang on an even keel.

It's original, quirky and Kiwi.

Part vaudeville, part rat-pack, part musical car crash, this talented trio deliver an engaging mix of humour and originality that audiences of all ages will love.

The Nukes play Te Awamutu's Woolshed Theatre on Sunday, November 22 at 4pm. Tickets are available from Eventfinda or Te Awamutu i-Site Centre.

Te Awamutu Courier has two prize packs of a double pass and CD to give away.
