What Happens When Nine High Profile Christchurch Musicians Get Together?
High Quality New Orleans and Blues tunes. This is the result when nine Christchurch musicians feed their Blues ambitions into the corporate scene that desperately needs an injection of top quality entertainment. Hailing from various musical walks of life, Blutopia the Hot 9 band, led by Malcolm Bishop continue to impress the musical scene in New Zealand with its energetic, big and versatile sound. Featuring a 4 piece horn section and a rhythm section with decades of experience, Blutopia stands in a class of its own featuring specialised arrangements of songs from Blues greats BB King, the Blues Brothers, all the way to Tower of Power. With the bands mission to bring high class, and high quality New Orleans/Blues music into the corporate market this is one band you won’t want to miss out on.

Thanks for adding my private view profile and deciding to stay on. Kris sent me and thanks for the comment today. I love your site layout and everything you say. I also read every profile. You are very talented. I try to update the site daily, so write sometime and enjoy the music.
Yip, diversity! *takes of "punKfest hat for a moment to make room for PA owner/operator hat* This has been a particually good year for me as a sound man, i've been able to do so many shows that i've enjoyed, mainly because i have had little idea just what it was that i'll be working with... Totally excellant!
May the trend back to live music continue to grow!
You know i really love it when people add punKfest to their list of freinds even tho it's a chalk and cheese thing. It either goes to show that there is some acknowledgement of the joyous diversity of Christchurchs music scene, and all that waffle, or that people are using robots to add freinds. I certainly hope it's the former :)
No worries :) Glad to spread the word. Have confirmed 2x tickets for the gig on the 31st now is it at the Richmond Club? ... more to follow. Cheers, Shane.
Hey Guys ,brilliant gig the other night - have already started spreading the word - a guy up in Wellington is keen to hear you if you're ever up that way. PS check your messages ;)
will do! i'm a transplant (from southern cal) so this is a homeward bound holiday. but, it's hard to drag the pop-top campervan across the equator, eh?
Thanks guys it was a great show, and it was a bonus to me to hear some good blues played the way it should be. I'm sorry I had to cut out short but I have a sick wife that I didn't want to leave too long. I was very pleased to have heard the band and met with you all. Thanks again and I'll see when I can visit next.
