Gig Review: Supermodel with The Earlybirds, September 3rd 2010
Hard working Wellington rockers Supermodel marked their return to New Zealand - following album recording sessions in the UK - with a double show (one all ages, one R18) at The Garden Bar, with support from Mercury Crowe and The Earlybirds.
I'm surprised The Garden Bar isn't used for more rock gigs in Wellington - it's a great venue. Sound was crisp and clear all night, and the venue's size is big enough that larger acts could play there but not so huge as to put off smaller acts. Hopefully there'll be more shows like this here in the future.

We heard some amazing Crowded House stories last week and just had to share some of our favourites.
Enjoy them as much as we did and thanks to everyone who joined in!
