Last Friday was the first in a series of four MUM Clubnights curated by Cheese on Toast for the month of March and we were excited to kick proceedinings off with Auckland’s latest cult following – The Mothers of Darkness and the whole-bunch-o-fun that is The Drab Doo Riffs.

The Mint Chicks played a secret show on a roof-top in Newton, Auckland on Monday night for the launch party of MusicHype.com and Cheese on Toast was there.

Not only have the Mint Chicks now got a 2nd bassist – at times Kody would jump onto a 2nd drum kit joining Paul on drums!

They played a healthy selection of songs from all three albums and only one song, the title track from their new EP – Bad Buzz – which, by the way, was freaking AWESOME live.

Kody’s gymnastics on a roof-top climing barbed wire fences and standing on a ledge that overlooked the roadside below left many of the audience quite nervous!

Our friend Henrietta Harris took these photos and let us publish them – thanks Henri!

Check out our photos from the HEALTH gig at Transmission Room on Friday with support from Bandicoot.

Last Thursday – 4 Feb – Cheese on Toast in association with Cassette Number Nine threw together a benefit gig to raise money for the victims of the earthquake that struck Haiti recently. Die! Die! Die!, The Hairdos and Piece War all donated their time and talents to the show. Nearly $3000 was raised.

Did you even know that N.A.S.A. played a serect Serato party last Tuesday night at Coherent on K Rd, after they closed the Laneway festival the night before? Well, it was secret.
