Last year I was fortunate enough to go to the Hurricane Party
in a hangar at Classic Flyers. Trombone Shorty who I had come to love (after
learning of his duet with my number 1, Lenny Kravitz), was headlining. It
turned out to be a pretty wicked night when I danced the night away right in
front of centre stage. I’m pretty excited that I get to go again.
It won’t by any means be de ja vu, because this Hurricane
Party will feature some of NZ’s quintessential talent that we are proud to call
our own. I’m looking forward to a not so sneaky dance to the beat of Batucada
Sound Machine. They’re the kind of multi-piece band that you want as a
permanent feature in your backyard, so you can selfishly press play while you
indulge in a few ciders in the summer heat.
Joining them will be The Eggs, Adam Page & Riki Gooch
and Spiral. These names may not be familiar on their own, but I can tell you
that they are important pieces to the puzzle of great Kiwi music; including Trinity
Roots, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Crowded House, The Phoenix Foundation, Tahuna Breaks
and dDub… just to name a few. Name dropper I know, but I’m sure I have your
complete attention now and don’t have to tell you twice that The Hurricane
Party will blow you away. And you get to party with these guys out in town on
Good Friday!
For a late night fling with the dance floor and some of
Aotearoa’s finest music, come down to The Hurricane Party on Good Friday, 10pm
at The Bahama Hut. Tickets at www.ticketdirect.co.nz
