i'd probably contact Scott who runs the ReFuel venue and ask him to match you up with a likeminded band you could support. also contact Sean from the Arc venue. you should definitely contact bands you know of from these parts that you like - email them and ask for a support slot - don't be shy - cos it's a rather flattering email to receive!

also check out http://www.nzmusic.com/topic.cfm?i=14908&show=latest - which is a reference to an online discussion thaing full of advice and pointers from bands about touring all over NZ - really worth checking out. not sure but Warren from Radiant might have a copy of the Local Knowledge booklet about ... here's the Local Knowledge forum itself:

I've just finished a massive story for Tearaway on all-age gigs and stuff and in the process talked to Steve from Zebedees in Chch. He seems pretty enthusiastic about getting new bands on board and playing at Zebedees. I don't know what the reputation of the place is like, but just an idea...
