Upon his return from living in Sydney and Wellington, He found the Auckland music scene brittle and dry. Then the spirit of Lady Diana Spencer came to him in a dream, and she whispered: "Avenge me Prince, Sing...Bring revenge to those lovers who have broken my heart".....

Brooke bent in.
brooke was an central suburban socialite. Born in Orewa to a successful family with strong community ties, and lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. He spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Seminary before returning to his family's house in Orewa. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, he became known for his penchant for gray clothing and his reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave his room. Most of his friendships were therefore carried out by email.
Many of his drumbeats deal with themes of death and immortality, two subjects which infused his confusing Skype conversations.
Andrew Mcleod
is a painter from auckland who contributed fall/circle/bauhausesk-repetitive overdriven kraut-rockish baselines to the underground legend that was 'barge'.
with the untimely demise of barge front-man sam killeen-chance andrew and keyboard player/backup singer liz maw needed someonee lseto play with.
and the rest is history.
andrewis a full time member of 'evil ocean' anda sometime member of 'cant play wont play', 'industrial nowhere land' and 'the satanic dada collective'.
andrew is responsible for much of the prince diana graphic design.

MISS ZERLINA Miss Zerlina is the moody spirit of the tragically deceased 17th Century up and coming opera star Zerlina Moffit. On Thursday the 19th 2009 she will stage a brief come back singing a short piece with a bloody ridiculous climax. Vieni, amor mio!
DAN (From So So Modern) Okay so this had to happen! So So Modern rule over the Wellington indie scene and it’s easy to see how they’re constantly accredited as one of NZ’s best bands. Currently working on a follow up album Dan will take a brief break and play us a DJ set with all the tunes that are influencing him at the moment. This will be soosososo homo!
Plus Residents…

Meltron (Just added) Easily Auckland's DJ du jour. Recently hitting a whole new level of hype with her staggeringly large Saturday nights 'Sick Disco' at Cassette Number Nine. She's all about fusing get-up Parisian House, the beats and bass, get serious Berlin minimal, and get-the-fucking-party-star ted New York Disco. Thrashing the latest imports before they've hit the street and selecting the wicked from the wack; the true rave from the nu rave! http://www. 95bfm. co. nz/default,2181,meltron. sm

Coco Solid are underground veteran electrorappers seducing and shaking live crowds while churning out banging beats. Combining Miami and Detroit booty-bass with their own trademark minimal electro, they're rhyming about everything; sex, science and the daily grind. With a string of world wide tours, 5 releases and a double album released late last year Coco Solid are off the hook and bound to make even the most kooky of us feel sane. In performance Coco will debut some exclusive new material. She’s off on another world tour in only a few weeks, catch her while you can!
"Her magnificent mongrel beats and eloquent satirising of sex, materialism and pop culture will have you thinking, laughing and dancing, all at the same time." - Grant Smithies - Sunday Star Times
"Coco Solid proves their wit, charm and downright sassiness... Awesome..." - Andrew Tidball - www. cheeseontoast. co. nz
The Ribbon is the striking new music project of Luke Munn and Campbell Birch. Incorporating keyboards, drum loops, guitar, vocals, and live visuals, this band captivates in a multiplicity of ways. Filled with heartfelt delicacy and awe inspiring intimacy, their music is ridiculously beautiful.
The release of their debut album (packaged in recycled cardboard) has created quite a stir, below are some reviews…
"Practically hypnotic... builds and builds upon itself, going where you don't expect before turning yet another direction...one of the best euphoric crescendos ever at about 2min 30 that just keeps going till you die. Or push repeat." - Andrew Tidball, Cheese On Toast
"This album made me shiver.... But scaring isn't really The Ribbon's intention. It is to kind of knock you a little to the left and make you listen just a little harder. Fans of Pig Out, TV On the Radio and anything dark-dance-electro will like this." – UnderTheRadar
The Juke Box is a live DJ set from Honey Claws, the Austin-based band comprised of three Americans and one New Zealander.
Honey Claws have recently been touring our major festivals (R&V and BDO) and releasing their brilliant new EP. With production credits from the team behind TV On The Radio and MGMT, the ‘Healer’ EP is filled with experimental big bass and psychedelic harmonies that tie in well with the current zeitgeist, offering a refreshingly revolutionary quality.
The Juke Box set puts another whole new spin on the Honey Claws concept. Consisting of the latest Ableton software, combined with a hodge-podge of analogue mixers, compressors, EQs, filters, and a bit of MCing, we can guarantee you’ve never seen Honey Claws like this before! www. myspace. com/honeyclawswww. honeyclaws. com
Also Featuring...
A Special Art Showing
--- by Jon Letscher
Jon Letscher is a member of Honey Claws as well as the son of famed American artist Lance Letscher. Jon’s vision is to converge the medium of music with paint to create a fully personalised environment. “My songs have become more like paintings and my paintings more like songs with poems and subtext layered underneath images.” Jon Letscher’s art will have a special showing from 9:30pm–11:30pm.

-------------------------------- The Teenagers - DJ set (London/Paris) --------------------------------
The Teenagers are the Hot new trio: Quinten Dalafon, Dorian Dumont, and Michael Szpinner. Their songs and remixes have graced the floors of Sohomo for nearly and a year and half and Sohomo is honoured to be hosting their official pre-party for their show on Friday. Famed for igniting the imagination of the music industry with their classic synth and bashful lyrics. This DJ set is not something to be missed, with devilishly good east end London fashions and a string of their own jaw dropping remixes they’ll turn you instantly into an adoring infatuated 16 year old girl, and leave you yelling “OMG I think I’m in Love”
Orson came to Auckland two years ago and has caused quite a stir. Since he’s been in Auckland he’s played along side the best visiting international DJs and stunned the Auckland club scene with his ‘Sonic Tonik’ nights at Ink and Coherent.

He’s got some cutting edge stuff planned with a new night called ‘Golden Age.’ Note it down and stay posted!

--- Collapsing Cities ---
The now London based Collapsing Cities have taken the international stage by storm. Collapsing Cities played a sold out last New Zealand show with Sohomo back in April last year. Since then they've played festivals all over the world, appearing at Reeding, Leeds, The Great Escape in Brighton and Lovebox Weekender in London. They've also played UK tours with the Black Kids, Late of The Pier and Metronomy. Along the way they've picked up a string of accolades, being named NME magazine's top 10 hopes for the future and selling out their debut UK single "Fear Of Opening My Mouth."
Congratulations to Collapsing Cities and welcome home for Christmas. Christmas at Sohomo will be truly fantastical with surrealist Christmas installations, Christmas treats, free Becks beer and Collapsing Cities.
