Please come join us for an evening of music before Elsa and Alex (Tiny Lightning) leave our shores!

FĒI LÍN will be singing and playing her guitar, with some new songs to share. Joining her for the last time (well not the LAST ever time but who knows how long we'll have to wait so hear this combo again), Elsa will be bringing her beautiful grand harp, flute, voice and original songs to grace the stage of the Monkey House Theatre with her partner Alex, the humble shredder on the E gat.

A little send off to celebrate the love of music that has grown out of this community, and friendship that has bloomed with it! It's very sad to see Elsa and Alex go, but exciting adventures things await them over the sea.

$20 door sales are available - please bring cash :)

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.

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,

With a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-formed and Nashville-based trio South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. The act is comprised of kiwi Nick Stone, Coloradan Dani Cichon, and Michigander Alex Stradal, and together the three multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine elements such as percussive acoustic guitar, cello, mandolin, suitcase stomp, resonator guitar, and effortless harmonies into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as impeccable”.

The band has landed accolades such as a Semi-Finalist in the 2023 and 2022 International Songwriting Competition, Finalist for Best Group in the 2023 International Acoustic Awards, Official Artist at South by Southwest Music Festival in 2023, Official Showcase Artist at Folk Alliance International in both 2022 and 2024, and “Most Wanted” Emerging Artist at Falcon Ridge Festival in 2018.

CLEAN DiRT and Under The Radar present.... C.O.F.F.I.N
OZ slam-bam raw punk pub rock, these Sydney-side cretins of cool been caning the floor boards & stages since they were pre-teens. Five albums old, 19 years young as a band, it’s a mix of blunt street level Ocker humour as only Aussies can deliver, Thin Lizzy/Rose Tattoo twin guitar assault, & a singing drummer who carries the same vibe as a young Ross Knight of the Cosmic Psychos. Part of the current wave of OZ gut punch, straight hard & long, no frills, all thrills primal rock that’s carving holes through minds & planting feet in backsides globally right now. Campadres of Amyl & the Sniffers? Ah yeah, check.....

Sydney's very own hard-biting rockers; C.O.F.F.I.N are a four piece, full force, boogie rock ‘n’ roll band featuring snarling lead vocals from behind the drum kit, high voltage lead guitars, and steady rhythms that keep you stomping along.

With an infectious hip-shaking groove, a chaotic, punk live show and a commanding voice of political activism, C.O.F.F.I.N has captivated a passionate following and widespread acclaim across the globe. They’ve clocked hundreds of high velocity performances, countless headline
tours and unforgettable festival appearances, and has shared the stage with iconic and influential bands such as Amyl and the Sniffers, Tropical F*ck Storm, TSOL, Celibate Rifles, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, and the Hard-Ons to name a few.

Exploring song themes on their own Australian experience, C.O.F.F.I.N voice their juxtaposition between the serenity and beauty of the stolen lands we walk and live, as well as the harrowing social injustices and prejudice that is deeply ingrained within Australian culture. Every performance is a platform and an opportunity to voice for positive cultural change and there is never a stage too large or small to challenge and confront outdated, yet modern Australian-ideals.

C.O.F.F.I.N have recorded and released five studio albums, one live album, and three EPs, all of which have sold out globally. Their most recent LP entitled ‘Australia Stops’, was released through Goner Records (US), Bad Vibrations (UK) and Damaged Record Co. (AU) in September 2023, debuting at #2 on the Australian ARIA Charts, winning ‘Best Hard Rock/Heavy Album’ at the National Live Music Awards and an end-of-year appearance at the highly cherished Meredith Music Festival. Internationally, the band received higher global recognition and acclaim, reaching #5 in Vive Le Rock’s top 50 albums of the year of 2023 (UK), plus features in Rolling Stone (France) and Visions Magazine (Germany).

With an unquenchable thirst for adventure and discovery, C.O.F.F.I.N have set out on several international tours across the USA, Europe, UK and Asia. They’ve joined esteemed international festival bills such as Wide Awake Festival (UK), Binic Folks Blues Festival (France), Goner Fest (USA), Palp Festival (Switzerland) and SonicBlast Festival (Portugal) amongst many others

Grounded in the Celtic musical traditions, Rennie takes the listener on a journey through history, weaving together tunes and songs and the tales that accompany them to create an intricate and varied show. His engaging stage presence and storytelling opens the door for audiences to connect with the music, which he plays on the wooden flute, guitar, Irish tin whistles, bodhran, fiddle and voice.
