Christchurch, New Zealand scene?
Hello all. I live in the U.S., but I'm a frequent visitor to the Christchurch and I was curious if there was any kind of garage/punk/surf scene in the area. Is anyone here from Chch or the South Island? It would be a nice change of pace to check out some local bands the next time I'm in town. If anyone is aware of any active bands in the area or how to find upcoming shows, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Joe. I'm from Christchurch. The best venues to look at are probably these:
http://www.facebook.com/Dux.Live.Christchurch
http://www.facebook.com/wunderbar.bar
The style of music varies at these places but bands you like are likely to play here. There's not always garage punk gigs on in Christchurch on any given week but there are good things happening here. If you let me know when you are here I could inform you of anything you may like.

Cool, thanks for the links (a visit to Wunderbar sounds a bit daunting!) It will be a few months before I'm back in New Zealand, but I'd certainly appreciate any help.

What are your favorite albums or songs by Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman) or John Brannon (Laughing Hyenas, Negative Approach, Easy Action)?Do you have any stories of memories of these bands? They have been around a while and are pretty well-respected in their circles.Last Tuesday night, I had the pleasure of seeing a couple Michigan rock stalwarts do a rare performance at a local underground punk venue called The 3rd Death Star in…See More
