Halloween looms one month away, but there’s no reason not to start assembling a fun spooky outfit right now (you could even take it for a public test run). Hosts of an already legendary series of gigs in central Tāmaki Makaurau, nestled next to the flash newly opened Karanga-a-Hape Station, T&M have announced a special Halloween lineup for their ninth Mercury Lane Alleyway gig on 31st October.
A trifecta of rising local acts will be letting rip — garage-punks The Bright Ideas who launched their debut EP Bright Sharp Things earlier this year, post-shoegaze trio Blisster and alt-rock collective Masc/Femme (featuring former members of CCTV) — plus there’ll be live puppetry from Tom Tuke, the artist behind the visuals for Princess Chelsea’s 7 Seconds In Heaven event last Friday. Here are the details…
“It’s Halloween night, the spooks and ghouls are out and you spot a black cat lurking in the shadows on Mercury Lane….
You follow it down the alleyway to reveal….. our 9th Alleyway show: Halloween Edition!”
T&M Alleyway #9 – Blisster, The Bright Ideas, Masc/femme, Tom Tuke
Saturday 31st October – Mercury Lane Alleyway, Auckland
