Palmerston North Gig

Last Friday we headed along to the first gig we had been to since the muzic.net.nz 5th birthday gig and we were more than impressed with what we saw.

I’ve been wanting to hear Agent play live after hearing some tracks on CD about 4 years ago, but it seemed everytime they were playing in Palmerston North something else would come up at the last minute.

I’ve always been a strong believer that bands sound better when they perform live, and you really can’t know a band’s sound unless you have heard them live. It may have taken me ages to finally hear Agent play live, but I can assure you I was not disappointed – it was definitely worth the wait!

Agent’s sound is truly unique and while they may fit easily into many genres, they are a one-of-a-kind band. They play thrashingly intense beats that scream around the room – add to that their awesome attitude to their performances and just the right mix of bass, guitar and drums and you have a hard-hitting and mind-blowing performance which invites everyone to start jumping around.

Not only did this gig show that these three Naki boys are very talented, but it showed that they are a well rehearsed band that knows what it takes to put on a great show. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but they give you that little something extra when playing live that no other band can manage to do.

Agent are a band that don’t wait around for things to happen – they get out there and make things happen for themselves. It is this attitude that has got them to where they are today, and after seeing Agent play live I am more than certain that they are a band that is definitely going to go far.
