It’s been a while since there was a certain buzz around a gig, a vibe that a heap of humans were leaning into, hedging their bets that the night in question would overdeliver on it's PROMISE.

Welcome to DIG THE GIG Christchurch Heat 3 last Wednesday night at A Rolling Stone - if you weren’t there it was fucking insane! 

First and foremost - POWER TO THE FEMALE LEAD SINGERS & MUSICIANS! You were all AMAZING! 

Josh Braden warmed up the PA - we are pretty lucky in this town to have a genius like Josh show up blow our minds - enough said. 

The Frankies set the stage alight - laid back tunes, laid back dudes that can play, lead singer Eddie Holdsworth was in control, he guided the band superbly - they wrote their two originals for their debut DTG set, it was awesome! 

Steampunk Fish had an itch to scratch - Jessie Ricard is one powerful redheaded women that drove the band so hard you could smell burning rubber throughout the packed venue! We believed every note!

Sweet Pea lead by the glorious Olivia Eady had the glowing full house in the palm of their creative hands. This a band that you my not want, but it's a band that we all need right now! They made a memory and stole a piece of time. Congrats on making it through to the final on June 24th. 

Indefinite Descent are a cool calm and collected metal band - they have all the tricks, all the tracks and played a set to be proud of. 

Hotel Emily proved that you can have some fun regardless of having very little time at the crease - in a years time they will be the band you will be hearing about! I will put a slab of DTG Lager on it. 

Banned played subtle and soft - great to see the cello on stage, they are one of those bands that have the art of being felt before being heard.

Crisis - Wholly Fuck! What a set, what a band, what a performance, what a dream night for all that were present.

Lauren Marshall our Host with the Most was in superb form steadying the DTG Rock N' Roll Ship through some pretty chaotic waves! 

Thanks to all the FANS that showed and supported their bands until the very end! 

Thanks to the Wright Family Foundation and all our epic sponsors for keeping the AMPs warm and the bands well oiled! 

To our A Rolling Stones Hospitality Hero’s - thanks for looking after us.

Karlee & Hazel for capturing the MADNESS! 

Gussys Pizza is out the gate! 

Thanking BEERS for the DIG THE GIG Rock N Roll Lager - it sold out AGAIN! 

All gave some but some gave all. 

See all you good souls at DTG Heat 4 on Wednesday June 10th.
