The Dawks are a zkrut band from Kirikiriroa/Hamilton, the sclerotic heart of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Zkrut is directly adjacent to punk.

The band, whose members are all 50+, aim to bring back the slightly raucous anti-corporate, do-it-yourself spirit of the 1970’s UK punk scene… combined with sensible bedtimes.

The Dawks are:

Michael Switzer (vocals, bass)
Bevan Thomas (vocals, guitar)
Wayne Barnett (vocals, drums)
Phil Dean (vocals, guitar)
