🎤 In this order of beautiful chaos:
<> Girl I Wanna Be <>
Girl I Wanna Be is a high-voltage garage/punk power duo from Ngāmotu/New Plymouth, delivering driving basslines, tight beats, and lyrics that dive into everything from the personal to the political. Their sound is gritty, danceable, and unapologetically real.
On stage, Aroha (bass/vocals), who is transfeminine, channels pure kinetic energy—never standing still, always in motion. Zoe (drums/vocals), aka Rude-boy, brings dynamic, skilful singing and drumming that commands attention and creates a magnetic live presence. Together, they offer a performance that’s not just music—it’s a full-body experience.
💥 Expect:
• Toe-tapping, head-nodding grooves.
• Shout-along choruses that stick.
• Danceable rhythms that get you moving.
• And if you like to lose yourself in the music—this might just be your new favourite band.
<> Late For Life Drawing <>
Get ready for an unforgettable night with one of Ngāmotu-New Plymouth’s most eclectic live acts.
Art-rock weirdos. Costume fiends. Spontaneous street giggers. Their sound is an unholy potion of poetry, Flying Nun ghosts, indie swagger, metal edges, folk whispers, and yes — the Metservice coastal weather forecast.
“Refreshing strange… reminds me of red wine, clove cigarettes and that ex that stole my Jeff Buckley CD” - Patrick Loughran (sickshooter.jpg)
Formed in 2019, Late For Life Drawing members comprise of visual artists and activists: Peter Heard (guitar, effects, vocals), David Le Fleming (drums), Ché Rogers (bass), and Suraya Sidhu Singh (piano, vocals).
Enjoy the unexpected — and don’t forget your dancing shoes..
