From the desk of Brent
Eccles…blow me down!
It's really happening!
Believe me, this is going to be shit hot.
For what will be their final show ever, New Zealand’s favourite pub rockers Th' Dudes are jumping on stage for one last blast at The Biggest Pub Gig In The World.
Let that sink in.
FINAL SHOW EVER.
These guys were there in the heyday of pub gigs in NZ, they’ve played up and
down the country numerous times, at some of the roughest pubs around. I’m sure
half of you have seen them at some point in time. Hell, Th’ Dudes invented pub
rock. They’ve still got it too. Fronted by the legendary Peter Urlich and with
praise the lord guitar man Dave Dobbyn, Lez White, Bruce Hambling, Victoria Girling-Butcher and Rikki Morris, Th’ Dudes are nothing short of Kiwi icons.
Bliss, Be Mine Tonight, Walking In Light + Right First Time are
all set to be turned on, and turned up, live - one last time. Whilst the
stage probably won’t be fashioned out of beer crates this time around, Th’
Dudes are certainly firing on all cylinders and raring to go.
You gotta be there to send them off in style.
Th’ Dudes, Citizen Band, The Jordan Luck Band, Hello
Sailor and Hammond
Gamble will all be playing at The Biggest Pub Gig In The World, it’s certainly
living up to its name.
On Friday December 11, Spark Arena will turn into a giant pub for one big night
of pub rock when five of New Zealand’s best-known pub rock bands will flood the
stage with beer spilling anthems.
You ain’t seen nothin’ like this unless you were hanging around The Windsor,
The Mon, The Gluepot, The Hillsborough, The Angus, The DB Onerahi, The Fitz or
a ton of other great pub gigs a few years back.
The bars will come onto the Spark Arena floor, the stage might just be a bit
lower and the sound turned up loud enough to be the perfect tonic for the year
we’re having.
The whole production will look like something that’s just stepped out of the
eighties - big, bold, black but not very technical. Just “turn it on” and “turn
it up”.
Believe me, this is going to be shit hot.
Remaining tickets are on sale now.
