i figured this would be the best way to get info on the NZ scene. I'm comming from Canada in april and want to know the good spots to hit up for good indie pop, rock and electro etc. Anyone care to help me out, yo?

I am flying into Auckland, then heading to Mount Manganui(excuse the errors) From looking over the site it seems that Wellington may be a good place to find gigs. I was told by one of my friends to not miss the south island, i want to see it all, but i also want to get to know the real, everyday life, no tourist traps please!!!

In Auckland head to The Kings Arms - in a part of town called Newton. Its quite close to Karangahapi Rd (K Rd). On K rd there is a little bar called 'Edens Bar' - there are often very cool indie bands playing there in the weekend - however if you are in town on thursday night there is a night on called "Kiss and make up club" lots of cool dj's.

You shoul really try and make it to the South island. Its really beautiful down there - and if you go to Christchirch - go to the Dux De Lux. this is the best bar by far in the city and has local music playing most nights. they make nice beer too.

What are any other awsome, only the locals know about kind of things that i should know about.
