Before we get into it, just a gentle reminder to not miss your chance to cast your vote for us at this year’s People’s Choice Awards!

Secondly, let me make a quick announcement: We had a cancellation and are now free on Labour Weekend – first come, first served! Labour Weekend is usually booked out about six months in advance, as it is the first long weekend of spring. If you get in touch quickly, we’ll be able to help you last minute!

In somewhat related news, we’re expanding, which means we can now offer you two complete production setups. That means two full stages, marquees, backline, sound, lighting, and staff simultaneously! All you’ll need to provide is a place and entertainment to take your event to the next level.

If you want to check out what a full production set-up looks like, pop by at this year’s Waitakere Festival in Henderson Park on October 28. It’s free with an excellent line-up of bands, among them The Bat’s Robert M Scott, playing a fairly rare (for Auckland) solo set. Check out their website for the full programme.

*apologies – it had to be done

Pro Tips for Event Organisers – Tip!

Have you ever considered hiring the backline? Especially useful when you’ve got a big lineup with many bands, it simply saves time if everyone uses the same amps or the same drum kit. Talk to us next time you’re planning an event – we’ve got some top-notch backline that we hire out, like our beautiful Pearl Reference Masterworks drum kit.

By the way, if available, you are free to use our backline when recording at our studio.

New Gear this month:

Finally, we got our own snake with a side-of-stage monitor split! Side-of-stage monitoring means an extra sound engineer on the side of the stage who mixes just the monitors for the bands – now isn’t that flash? It’s convenient for large events. We’re looking forward to using it a lot this summer.

Venues we like: Galatos

It is a gorgeous 100-year-old building with three different-sized rooms suitable for various events. They do have a PA system, but if you need anything extra, you know who to ask – a few extra lights will make your gig shine!
