THE CODA LOUNGE - Portage rd, New Lynn
Featuring:
SONIC ALTAR -
Echoing the ghosts of the classic metal hey-day with a revatilized sound, a unique blend of style and influence, Sonic Altar are a force to be reckoned with. The worship of music, a translation of the band name, is really what it means to be Sonic Altar. With a mission of bringing back the melodic substance to hard rock and being a live act to remember, the band have worked themselves to the bone since conception. Sonic Altar is here to melt your face!

With influences spanning generations and multiple genres Naquadah have defined their own unique and captivating sound. With influences drawn from Rock, Metal, Alternative and Goth the bands sound has evolved into their own unique blend of hard rock. Combined with their captivating and entertaining live performance Naquadah have built a solid and loyal fanbase

Mothra, Roache, Brigada at Thirsty Dog, April 7th.

April 7th at the Thirsty Dog
Stick
around Auckland this Easter and treat yourself to something far better
than what the easter bunny has to offer. A blistering live set from
Mothra at the Thirsty Dog on K Rd with support from Roache and a debut
set from Brigada.
Mothra's sound draws from the alternative, progressive and post metal genres, mixing ambience and atmosphere with massive low tuned riffs and odd tunings. Mothra combine experimental ideas with conventional catchy song writing, forged into a unique sound and journey of their own. There is something very special about to be released, and it may even be out before this gig.
Roache describe themselves as 'Post Motown Gangsta Core' and cite influences such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Parkway Drive, Eminem, John Butler Trio, Dr. Dre, and Rage Against The Machine. And they play naked.
Not to be missed is a debut set from a band called Brigada. These guys cite none other than Black Flag as a major influence, so expect a raw brand of hardcore punk from these fellas.
Only $10 on the door, merch will be available. First band on around 9.

DECORTICA
Decortica is an alternative rock / progressive rock act from New Zealand. With two releases to date and an energetic, polished live show, the band is gaining a reputation as an edgy, modern rock outfit. A three-piece employing a range of dynamics and effects, "the result is a huge, full sound with frequent deviations into new textures and moods" (Groove Guide). The precisely crafted balance of heavy riffs, ambience, thundering percussion, layers of harmony and soaring vocals captured on tracks like "The Grid" (from the debut "A New Aesthetic") and "Shinkansen" (from the follow-up "Love Hotel") is faithfully transposed in the live arena.

CRIPPLE MR ONION
Cripple Mr Onion produce music best characterized as "primally heavy, atmospheric, and progressive". Their sound has been described as "spellbindingly beautiful one moment and violently cataclysmic the next". The diverse progeny CMO spits forth to their evergrowing and devoted live following are charged with primal, tribal beats, haunting harmonies and expansive atmospheric textures - each song becomes an individual, living entity with it's own unique qualities, evolving organically to often epic proportions.

JACKAL
Jackal are a four-piece combining solid guitar riffs with a heavy funk rhythm section. Come along to hear a collection of tracks from their second album Furnace Creek, as well as songs from their first album Sleeping Life and new tracks due to be released on their new album this year.

FICTIONAL RESPONSE
Fictional Response blur the lines between Heavy Rock and Electronica, taking catchy guitar riffs and mixing them with synthesizers and a combination of electronic and live drums. The music draws from diverse inspirations. With a vocal style influenced by Linkin Park and guitar riffs that stand up to those of Deftones and Korn. FR's trademark is loud, explosive bursts of noise combined with softer, more ambient textures. A dynamic and innovative blend of different genres.
Fictional Response is:
Richie Bennett, Tim Gainsford, Daniel Malyon, Shaun Malyon

Cauldron Black Ram (Aus) at Whammy Bar April 21
Copied from: http://www.facebook.com/events/177470065690642/
SATURDAY APRIL 21ST, CAULDRON BLACK RAM (AU), DIOCLETIAN, SHALLOW GRAVE @ The Whammy Bar, 183 K Rd, Auckland, New Zealand
The Angel Peacock presents a night of Bestial Brothels, Raiding Nunneries, and Skulduggery as CAULDRON BLACK RAM voyage to New Zealand for the inaugural time, supported by savage helmsmen DIOCLETIAN and doom coxswains SHALLOW GRAVE at the prestigious port of call, the WHAMMY BAR.
CAULDRON BLACK RAM
Originating from the shores of Adelaide, Australia CAULDRON BLACK RAM play a one night stand in Auckland, CAULDRON BLACK RAM bring their older schooled death metal unto salivating masses. These devil bellied smugglers come for the rum, but stay for the sluts. Launching their deatheavy "The Poisoner Maxi-EP" described as a short drop and sudden stop from their massive sophomore effort "Slubberdegullion".
DIOCLETIAN
Supporting the sea dog assassins come the savage DIOCLETIAN. These war smythes lay down an unsurpassed sonic assault. Belligerently decimating, DIOCLETIAN have returned with a new line up, a final test before journeying overseas once again to ensure no one is left standing in the War of All Against All.
SHALLOW GRAVE
Opening the first bottle for the evening are doom diggers, SHALLOW GRAVE. Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed as they say. SHALLOW GRAVE preparing to release their debut self titled album. These doom ushers will initialise one of the most unprecedented heavy events in history.
ABOUT THE WHAMMY BAR
Auckland's premier small venue. Situated on K-Road gives it a superb location to witness your favourite live acts in an intimate setting.
