Then we are supporting out mates The PHDs as they release a vid, then we copy them a do a video release gig too. Finally my jazz quartet Foghorn is in on the action with some caffeine induced 3 set gig during the coffee festival, looking forward to getting wired on coffee for that.

Easy Gigs Both Nights This Weekend

May 31, 2010 – 11:09 pm

This long weekend catch Easy both nights as we play the Grey Lynn RSA on Friday and then Khuja on Saturday! OK so what are the relative merits of each gig? Well lets see… the RSA is a place where you can get cheap beer, and I think they have pool tables that are superimo quality. You have to get signed in at the door when you arrive tho but that’s all good, it free entry.

The gig at Khuja has a bit on an advantage: Rooftop Collective are also playing. I saw them recently, and they are wicked, I was greatly impressed I’d definitely check them out.

Friday 4 June Easy

Doing multiple sets. Free entry.

Gigs in April, May

April 19, 2010 – 9:25 pm

Well… it’s been a while since the last mail out: Just when I thought things were cooling off after a busy period of rehearsing with my newest bands Kirsten Morrell and Easy, I forgot that I had organised a gig for my old jazz band Foghorn at a private party ages ago, and had to begin rehearsing that one again, which hasn’t left much time for doing these updates.

So the upcoming gigs are:

Thursday 22nd April - Kirsten Morrell @ Sky City (not sure the venue or time)

Friday 30th April - Dam Native (MC Set) in Rotorua (no live band for this one though)

Saturday 1st May - Kirsten Morrell @ Juice Bar, Parnell

Thursday 6th May - Kirsten Morrell @ Late at the Museum

Saturday 15th May - Easy @ Rakinos

Saturday 29th May - The Feijoa Festival - Hot Water Beach Holiday Park

After all of this I’m off to England and Italy for a break, as I haven’t been on a holiday in ages. So I’ll be gone from June 16 to July 6.

Here are some of the images for these gigs:

Grey Lynn Park Festival This Saturday

November 26, 2009 – 4:06 pm

My new band “Easy” is playing at the festival this saturday at 2:15pm sharp. Not sure what stage or any other details though.

The official websites and Facebook page both are sorely lacking in details about the event unfortunately, which is weird especially in the case of the Facebook page, which one would expect would be fairly easy for the creator to update? Perhaps the one below is not the actual official FB event page, that could explain it.

http://www.greylynnparkfestival.org/

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=167798109254

My Upcoming Gigs:
Saturday 28th November - Easy - Grey Lyn Park Festival
Saturday 12th December - Dam Native - Telegraph Hotel, Otaki, Kapiti Coast
Sunday 3rd January - Easy - Raglan Yacht Club
Saturday 16th January - Dam Native - Matakana Island Festival
Saturday 20th February - Easy - Devonport Food & Wine Festival
Sunday 21st February - Easy - Splore Festival
