Reminiscent of Days of the New and Alice in Chains unplugged they're definitely genuine entertainment.

Sometimes stormy, sometimes surf, sometimes ska, or straight ahead rock, they take you with them on a post-punk journey of energy, melody and story, and you'll know those songs you've never heard before. Indie is good!

The music is an urban-bohemian celebration of life, love and longing. Their dynamic set will take you from catchy dance-beat pop through to emotional and heart-wrenching rock ballad. And lots of weird stuff in between.
Spiritual undertones and overtones weave deftly through the lyrics, peppering the loom with
contemplations of our existence and the fleetingness of time, while overall remaining joyful and
uplifting, proving that something good can indeed come out of the deepest pain.
9pm - Mister Unit
"There are times when nothing will hit the spot like a dirty filthy good old-fashioned hard-hitting rock and roll band, and that is exactly what we have here. If I didn't know they were from Wellington I would have guessed possibly New York, as there is no way they sound Kiwi. Mister Unit are a quintet with three guitars who sound as if they have been raised on a diet of MC5, The New York Dolls, George Thorogood & The Destroyers and The Stooges while possibly taking something from The Angels and even AC/DC. This is solid real rock music, with a rhythm section that sets the foundation and keeps it tight" - Kev Rowland, www.muzic.net.nz
The is a real rock band made up of ex-members of some great New Zealand rock bands. Andrew (vocals, guitar) Matt bass) Curtis ((backing vocals, guitar) Pete (drums) Simon (backing vocals, guitar)
