Don’t miss the next FC Jam this Wednesday night at the Film Construction Studio, 22 Minnie Street, Auckland. It’s set to be another great night of music food and drink.

There will be another impressive VJ set from Nude On The Moon, and DJ Johnny Elbo will keep the music pumping between acts.
The full lineup:
Dictaphone Blues. Three lads that love abit of a knees up and a tickle of clobber, with a sellout album andbackslapping reviews from critics and fans alike. They have toured NZseveral times and graced the stage with The New Pornographers, LiamFinn, and Lawrence Arabia.

The Hathaways.Fresh from a feisty performance at the last FC Jam, they are Ogilvy’sBOTAB band that features musicians from throughout the agency playing amix of punk/new wave hits and punk/pop originals. A change in line-upthis year sees new guitarist Nich Cunningham (from the agency’srecording studio) join – along with drummer Gary Horne (graphicdesigner) who replaces Hathaways original Jeremy Taine on drums.

The Frisk.Indie rock 5 piece who check all the boxes – think Muse meets BlocParty and The Strokes. Melodic, punchy, toe-tapping, high energy songs- which make their presence felt in a lively stage show.
Chris Cope.Guitarist from much-missed Kiwi band Eight, who achieved gold statusand No.1 NZ Rock Radio airplay status. He’s played Big Day Out andsupported international acts like Creed and Incubus.
Nude On The Moon. VJ/DJ combo Jimmy Olsen & Karl Sheridan are an audio visualadventure. With video and music, spun, chopped sampled and mixed on thefly, they are a group that never fail to make you twitch.

11.15pm This is not a contest, Bro. Just a ‘Chill out’…You need to hit the dancefloor with Zoe !Btw, ‘Battle of the Bands’ is hardly original!
nothing like a battle of the bands…went to the one last week – just a really good night. Actually a great line up of bands.
