Double header with two local original rock groups

Bees are an indie rock band from Whakatū/Nelson who began playing together after hanging out at Camp A Low Hum 2024. They recorded a few songs in their practice space, and self-released a limited run of 2 of 'em, 'Downtown' and 'Fame is a bee', on 7-inch records, lathe cut by Johnny Electric. Join the hive, catch the buzz.

Music Sucks is an indie rock band based in Whakatū/Nelson. It started in Christchurch in 2011 as Sam Wilkinson’s songwriting project and has featured a rotating cast of musical legends ever since. The current lineup met at an open mic night in mid-2025. They make weird, funny music that sometimes sounds like indie rock, alt-pop, and post-punk if you are lucky. Music Sucks has just released a single called Grown Ups. Previous releases include two albums, Periscope Straws (2012) and Road Cone City (2018), plus the single Wack Job (2020). New material is currently being recorded.
