The Bats Ride Again
- The Wellingtonista
- The Bats are playing in Wellington on Saturday, November 3rd at Bar Bodega. As a frequent attendee of their gigs I can attest to their consistent awesomenes. The loyal following of groupies, supporters for over 30 years in many instances, indicates I’m not alone.

Band Substances
- The Wellingtonista
- An unfortunate number of Wellingtonistas are rather fond of making rather terrible puns quite frequently, which means a lot of my time is spend making "Badoom chish!" sounds.

Jess Chambers – 27 September, San Francisco Bathhouse
- Texture
- Jess Chambers is no stranger to the Wellington-music scene having championed a successful debut album; worked with the likes of Rhian Sheehan, Module and the Upbeats; AND been responsible for the tender female vocals for the much-loved, much-hyped the Woolshed Sessions coterie that have sold out numerous performances and produced a collection of catchy-country-licked-pop songs.

Wellington is a good place to get shipwrecked
- The Wellingtonista
- We've written before about the fire at the Maranui Surf Cafe, and how bloody sad that was, but it's kind of bloody lovely to see the way that this city can be all small-town-like and good-hearted, with yet more events planned to raise money for the cause.

Weta reform and announce gig date
- Texture
- They’re back. Wellington rockers Weta have reformed and are about to hit the San Fran Bath House for a massive gig on November the 21st. The local guitar heroes first blew up (In terms of fame) after their debut album, Geographica, was released in 2000. The following year they blew up again, but this time it was the band being blown into pieces - with Weta front man, Aaron Tokona, thought to have stopped believing in what he was doing and calling an end to Weta as a group. But that was then and this is now. I’ve seen the boys in action a few time, and let me just say that they have always played with a fire and passion most other musicians would kill for. They’ve played support for acts such as the Foo Fighters and Soundgarden – not to mention Wellington’s favorite sons, Shihad, and have always matched the bigger names for their intensity. Make no mistake; this gig will be a SELL OUT. Be in quick to get your tickets, lest you miss the return of an iconic Wellington band. It’s going to be huge. -Darren
