Bio

Powder Chutes are an emerging rock band from Wanaka, producing fiercely original music which is gaining a following both nationally and internationally.

The band are described by Radio One 91FM as “already punching well above their weight in the Aotearoa music scene. With chunky riffs, and BIG fills, they have every head turning”.

Powder Chutes recently opened for ZZ Top, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Stone Temple Pilots and The Angels in front of 18,000 people at Gibbston Valley and headlined the Friday night live stage at the 2023 Burning Horse Festival.

In addition to their headline gigs, other support slots include The Feelers, Dolphin Friendly, Big Sima, East York, Pull Down The Sun and most recently Pieces Of Molly.

Their latest single Moths To The Flame has achieved major radio airplay, entering at #9 on the Official NZ Music Charts – Hot 20 NZ Singles, and was voted onto legendary Rock FM 2000 at #1730.

Between May 26th and July 28th Moths To The Flame was in the 40 most played rock songs on New Zealand radio for 8 out of 10 weeks, and is still on regular rotation.

Sweet noise pollution... groove-fueled grunge... whatever you call it, Powder Chutes are electrifying, ambitious, and ready to make their mark as an original rock band worth following.
