To ensure everyone keeps warm this winter, Loop is stoking the fire and bringing the heat with A.V.A.D.S.D. at the Leigh Sawmill Café on Saturday 6 August.

A bit of a national affair, A.V.A.D.S.D. will see local band, The Midnights, Wellington’s The Nudge and Lyttleton’s AHoriBuzz unite, to mash everything from vintage reggae, blues, wonky psychedelic vibes and mean jams.

The Nudge’s live performances are fast becoming the stuff of folklore – during their last appearance in Auckland, technical problems saw the band rise to the occasion and lay down a ridiculously impressive impromptu segue midway through their set.
Take note, we think The Nudge’s stars are aligning perfectly and big things are on the horizon for these boys!

Those who witnessed the fitness of AHoriBuzz at their last Auckland gig at Khuja can testify to how badass the band is.  A jam band of sorts, you never quite know how things are going to roll when AHoriBuzz plays. Currently a trio, Tokona leads the outfit on vocals, MPC and guitar while Nick Gaffney (also Cairo Knife Fight) and Hori anchor the outfits mean rhythm section.  

After recently knuckling down in Roundhead Studios to record some fresh tracks, The Midnights are now in training, increasing their physical regime, limbering up and getting ready to kick out the jams. Having spent some time honing their craft playing late night house parties, crashing the odd folk evening and performing epic sets alongside reggae greats like The Wailers, The Midnights have become notorious for their energetic and raw live shows.

It’s going to be choice!
