For those of you that don’t know, Tim is heading off overseas for a period. So, this Saturday(August 27) at the Brewery will be your last chance to catch Von Klap for a while. They are supporting O’Lovely who are always excellent. So, get down there and say goodbye to Timmy.

If you haven’t already been down, you should check out the Brewery in Woolston. It’s great to have somewhere new to visit and nice to have anywhere to get intoxicated on the East Side of town. Tim is working there which means you can get that surly service that you all knew and loved at [...]

I’m a big fan of the Bats,they were the first band we ever booked to play at Goodbye Blue Monday. I really feel like these guys are special enough they could play any festival in the world and people would be stoked to see them. Luckily, some of them live right here in our shaky [...]

Tim and I have spent a lot of time together over the past few years. We worked together most days, fought about once a week, slapped one another in the face with wads of cash after especially busy nights and generally made each other laugh. For the record I am the better table tennis player. [...]

It is with much sadness that I wish to announce that Goodbye Blue Monday is over. It is strange that something that I put my heart-and-soul into over two years has suddenly ceased to be. I think the building is still there – standing sadly with rain getting in and ruining those toilet walls I [...]

We kicked off the weekend with T54 and The Golden Awesome last night. Both bands sounded awesome and the place was pretty full for a Thursday night. Tonight we have Magic Eye and Bits ‘n’Pieces, two of the best little bands in Christchurch in my mind. They’ll be kicking off at 10.30 tonight. Make sure [...]

You should all mark next Thursday December 2 in your diaries. We are proud to be hosting Jeff the Brotherhood from Nashville. Armed only with a three stringed guitar,  a beaten up drum kit and a fox tail, what they lack in gear, JEFF The Brotherhood compensates with guts in ten fold. Gigging anywhere from [...]

Well done to the Transistors for an awesome gig on Saturday night. The place was humming until some little prick went and set the fire alarm off. We had to evacuate which sucked and made me very grumpy. The Transistors t0ok it all like professionals and got straight back into it once the firemen gave [...]

Here’s this month’s hot musical tip. You should all get into the Dance Asthmatics. They played here on Thursday night and were fucking awesome. These guys are still young and we’re sure they’re going places. So, next time you see them playing somewhere, get out and see them.

Awesome party on Saturday night with Von Klap supported by the ever-talented Nadia Reid. Thanks to everyone who came out after the aftershocks to support the band. It was really nice to see every-one’s faces again and to see the pub, which has been sitting sad and lonely, humming again. For the record, this is [...]
