Wellington indie scene

Hey, am an English indie girl who is moving to Wellington to go to uni. am really wanting to know about the indie scene wellington...are there good indie clubs, pubs, gigs? music scene kind of dominates social life in england so want to know places to go and dance and listening to amazin music.

Bar Bodega, The Valve and Indigo are probably your best bet (for venues that have good bands that is).
And my favourite Wellington indie band is Phoenix Foundation, you should check them out.
And and and The Low Hum tours are alwasy worthwhile as well (regular tours with bunch of new and wicked bands). Assuming trhat's happening in 2005...?

..and lets not forget great wellington bands like "the Rod Johnson Experience". You can always catch bands at the Eastside Bar which is in Uni, but I reccomend sex at Te Papa.

Need i say more ... (read ext link)

Welcome back Andoru, we have missed you cutting critque, I haven't heard the Fly my Pretties thing yet, but it does seem to be a love or hate with a passion thing..

And Blink dear, when will the low hum be back on the road and will be be seeing you here? I haven't seen anything on the advanced Phat Club list... and a bit of warning would be nice.

I'm aiming for the first tour to be March. Not passing through nelson that time, thinking about maybe trying Oamaru, if i can. But april I reckon I'll be there.

too me it's either b-side material or so-so re-hashes
i think it's alright
but i've heard better from the respective artistes

damn straight to the HSM
pray to god so he intervenes and pushes some recording into reality!

I'd imagine you'd get a good reception at the Penguin Club. Or you could try one of the 'nightclubs'...

is there anything happening in the next couple of weeks up until the thrid that me can go to (as in cheap and underage?) apart from x air.

no
