Stingfish & Cop Car Mini-Tour

Review about the tour as written by Stingfish:

We have just completed a mini-tour venturing out of the capital with punk-rockers Cop-Car. It was cool.

We had our first gig in wellington at bar Bodega with Picture Imp and then got up early the next morning to drive all the way to Auckland. It took us 11 hours to get there, with plenty of stops and abusing people with a megaphone – especially useful on the Auckland motorway.

The Kings Arms was a great venue with awesome sound and a huge stage. Voom played first and although the turn-out was lack-lustre we still had heaps of fun. The Ambassador was a good time too and was almost full, a much smaller venue with trippy wall coverings and bar staff who would come up and dance. Local bands were Rimu and Jackpoint – both great bands.

Then we headed back south on an entertaining drive where everyone was afraid to nod off, and played at The Stomach all ages venue in Palmy. That was an excellent night, thanks to the local bands Impish and Cord Willis for attracting heaps of people. The sound was good there too and was great to play in front of an enthusiatic crowd, which some of us ended up jumping into and playing real rock n roll legend style.
