Tasked with shooting a punk rock band in a small music venue in the centre of Auckland City I headed out with little to expect but was rewarded with some wonderful creative talent, free beer and above all else, An ironic gift of a cassette mix tape that I couldn’t listen to.
The venue Cassette Nine are famous for their cheap teapot cocktails. I wasted many an evening getting messed up whilst pretending to be fancy.
Skux (the lead singer’s moniker) also hosts a radio show and participates in wildlife conservation which is pretty cool.
Skux is still around doing some cool stuff. Check out their Facebook here, their IG here and their bandcamp here.
