New Whanganui rock band Evenflow says people can expect a great night of music and dancing at its debut gig at Lucky Bar + Kitchen.

The band members have diverse day jobs but share a love of music.

Lead guitarist Bevan Elliot works as a tiler, bass player and backing vocalist Uriah Wallace is a barber, drummer Sara Fredrickson owns Mindzye Fashions and vocalist Jay Rickard is a firefighter.

All have played in various local bands, with Elliot an ex-metaller and the others in rock bands.

"We're all passionate about music," Rickard said.

"We're called Evenflow because there's a very even flow of energy between the band. No one's a superstar. We are all on the same level - it's a really good vibe. We want to have fun and entertain people and we all super-love it."

Rickard says Evenflow plays middle-of-the-road rock that people can dance to.

"We play 90s rock. It's like a pub dance band - you know the words and you can dance to it. We've also got a couple of heavier songs."

The band is gearing up for its first paid gig, performing in Rock the Block at Lucky Bar + Kitchen on Friday, September 6, with Burn the Machines and 440.

"We're looking forward to hitting the local scene," Rickard said.

"We want people to come along and have a good night. You can't download live musical experience.

"We're trying to get people to support the local music scene because it's not easy getting up there and performing.
