Hurricane Party

The best party in town on Good Friday!

A good Hurricane Party gathers a great crowd and lasts the distance. With that in mind this year features an awesome line-up of superb musicians who we have heard before in these or other configurations.

BATUCADA SOUND MACHINE's reputation is unquestionably in their live performance. The band thrives in a festive atmosphere and is renowned for getting crowds moving whether they are performing in Europe, Asia or Oceania. The band's percussion-heavy rhythm section, blazin' horns, chunky guitars, and soulful vocals all fuse effortlessly to intertwine Brazilian, funk, hip-hop, afro-beat and Pacific-soul influences.

A live funk band, the scintillating, irrepressible, EGGS are Wellington's true super group. Featuring heavy-duty players from Fat Freddy's Drop, The Phoenix Foundation and Twinset, with vocals, horns, guitar, organ, drums and percussion, The Eggs have all the basses covered. Regulars at Matterhorn (Cuba Mall) this line up of ten players can pump out the good vibes all night long. Packed dance-floors are guaranteed.

Multi-instrumentalist ADAM PAGE teams up with drummer/producer RIKI GOOCH (Fat Freddy's Drop, Crowded House, Trinity Roots, Hollie Smith) as BAND OF THOUSANDS for a set like you never heard before.

Auckland's six piece SPIRAL fuses Funk Soul and Samba with jazzy grooves with a line-up of musicians who have played with dDub and Tahuna Breaks. Punchy horn lines, raging solos and melodic vocals, Spiral dishes out the goods.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! We have got the supplies, the entertainment, and the bar is open - just bring yourself and some good mates.
