Threat Meet Protocol, Illicit Wah-Wahz, King Fish & Corrosive Moses - 4 Bands, $20 at the door.

Just like Jesus, this gig has risen from the dead. After being banned from playing the Piha Bowls Club for being "too dangerous" the Monkey House on behalf of Whitianga are taking their lives and reputations into their own hands by allowing King Fish, Illicit Wah Wahz, Corrosive Moses and Threat.Meet.Protocol play their esteemed venue. this Easter Saturday.

Featuring:

Illicit Wah Wahz:

Marauding the main street of Raglan like savage dogs these deranged surf occultists will cover you in sickening fuzz and wah pedal feedback and not even say sorry. They will also look you in the eye as they shake hands and squeeze just a little harder than usual. Sick bastards.

https://illicitwahwahz.bandcamp.com/.../live-at-speed-of...

King Fish:

Everyone knows what goes on in the hills of Tairua. Socially reclusive loners hiding away doing nothing but smoking that filthy green plant and writing stoner doom jams. Keep these sociopaths away from your kids!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD9k3a9iHAowZHVKdso-8Bg

Threat.Meet.Protocol:

Tauranga tough guys, the only emotion they know how to express is with their fists. Best known for inserting themselves into a Chuck Norris joke and beating him up. Beware!

https://www.youtube.com/@threat.meet.protocol

Corrosive Moses:

Whitianga's most topically blasphemous band. Infamous locally for their part in releasing printed propaganda to influence and bend the minds of all those they encounter. Dangerous! Despotic! Dictatorial!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDchwYzXpxI&ntb=1...

Doors 7pm. $20 (cash) entry. Thanks to the Monkey House and Beat Fairy events for resurrecting this event.

TICKETS HERE: https://www.undertheradar.co.nz/gig/94781/Guitar-Wolf-NZ-Tour-2025---Jett-Rock--Roll-From-Tokyo-Japan.utr $10 under18s, $34 adults.

CLEAN DiRT presents GUITAR WOLF from Tokyo Japan

Tokyo masters of rock&roll mayhem. 30 years young & the foot ain’t ever come off that car crash accelerator pedal. Still swerving, dead man curving, burnin’ out & danger driftin’. Link Wray overdriven guitar rumble fuzz & feedback, Joan Jett warm leatherette aesthetic obsession, locomotive rockabilly rhythms & early Ramones punk chunk thump. Noise, hiss & drone co-opted from fellow Japanese sound assault merchants High Rise & Mainliner. It’s a sonic rendezvous designed to cave in heads & destroy frequencies, while yr dancing yr ass off on that road to oblivion…. Mr Slackjaw

GUITAR WOLF,
JAPAN'S GREATEST
'JET ROCK'N'ROLL' BAND,
RETURN TO AOTEAROA

A musical treat for you on FRI MARCH 7th - YoYo headlines, with 2 great support acts in Bong & Pencil Drawn Figures. Bring your $10 & get ready to have a fantastic night of fast paced rock & punk. Let's goooo!
