Bloody Auckland council and their ridiculous rates. They've killed another good venue. Get stuffed.
right, mate. The council's idea of supporting arts is a free parking day once a year.
Gutted. Played there a few times, always had a great crowd and sound. K Road is losing its soul.
Covid was the nail in the coffin but tbh the whole industry has been on its knees for years. Punters just don't show up like they used to. Sad day.
Another one bites the dust. What's left for live music in Auckland? Whammy? That's about it.
it's a crying shame. Both venues are struggling. Something's gotta change.

Studied nearby and spent so many nights there. First gig, first mosh, first time I got kicked out for being too rowdy 😅 Devastated.
here. Remember the summer festival series they did? Packed every time. Doesn't make sense.
Never went there but feels like we're losing all the character venues. Soon K Road will be just another mall.
Don't worry, they'll put another overpriced apartment block there. Progress, apparently.
Worked there as a tech for a while. Great team, shit margins. Live music is dying and nobody in power cares.
Facts. And then they wonder why young people leave Auckland. Nowhere to go, nothing to do.
Saw my first band there in 2015. $10 entry, good vibes. Can't get that anywhere anymore.
