SUMMARY:BB & THE BULLETS
DESCRIPTION:“An authentic\, powerful and generous album\, which will undoubtedly place BB & The Bullets among the blues rock revelations of the year.” – Zicazic Magazine\, France \nIt’s been a great couple of weeks for dynamic Whanganui blues band BB & THE BULLETS!   \nCurrently playing their North Island tour\, celebrating the international release of their debut album HIGH TIDE from September\, the album has achieved impressive traction across Aotearoa’s music soundscape by entering the Official Top 20 Aotearoa Albums at #12 and #5 on the Independent Music NZ Charts! \nLanding on both the IMNZ Charts and the Official Aotearoa Music Charts is a cracking result\, not just as independent artists\, but also for a blues-rock outfit\, demonstrating that it’s a genre that can successfully cross both indie and conventional charts\, appealing to both grassroots and mainstream audiences – an outcome that the band is thrilled about. \n“It’s a great result! We are so proud to be #5 on the IMNZ Chart. Independent artists are the grassroots and lifeblood of Kiwi music. And there’s only been a few local indie blues-rock albums on the Official Aotearoa Music Charts over the last decade – our mate Grant Haua in 2022\, and Troy Kingi in 2016\, so we’re stoked to be here and rep the Blues in 2025!” \nSTREAM HIGH TIDE HERE  | DOWNLOAD MEDIA + RADIO ASSETS HERE \nThe tight\, three piece blues rock outfit of band members Brad McMillan (drums)\, Stu Duncan (bass)\, and Brian Baker (guitar / vocals)  have garnered a reputation for their powerful and moving live performances\, drawing comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan\, Johnny Winter\, Peter Green and Jeff Beck\, while firmly putting their own stamp on the timeless medium that is the blues. \nBB & The Bullets have released three well received singles to date off the album: debut single ‘Something In The Water’; album title track ‘High Tide’; and their blues-soaked rendition of the Beatles classic ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ which is a huge fan favourite at their live shows. To date\, all three singles have enjoyed some excellent blues radio attention\, including airplay on Radio New Zealand and around the country\, as well as in Germany\, USA\, and Canada\, with ‘High Tide’ charting at #4 on Roots Music Charts in Australia\, achieving #1 on the Roots Music Report Blues Album Chart\, #1 on the Blues Rock Album Chart and three songs on the Blues Singles chart. \nHome country of their label Dixiefrog Records has plenty of great things to say about BB & The Bullets\, with Paris Move Magazine giving the album a very favourable review\, ranking it as a ‘red heart’ favourite\, as has French outlet Zicazic Magazine\, and the title track single ‘High Tide’ has made the weekly playlist of Rolling Stone Magazine\, France. \n“This album proves to be a declaration of love to the roots of the blues\, driven by striking live energy and unabashed virtuosity.” – Zicazic Magazine\, France \nNow the trio are continuing to take their killer live show across the motu through October and November. With a well-deserved reputation for their compelling live shows\, BB & The Bullets audiences are always wowed by the power and intensity of their performances. \nWith this chart action\, it is evident that the blues scene is alive and vibrant on Antipodean shores\, grab your mates and don’t miss your chance to check out a blues-rock experience like no other with BB & The Bullets! \n  \nTickets here.

SUMMARY:Jamie and the Numbers
DESCRIPTION:Northern Soulsters Jamie and the Numbers have wowed audiences around New Zealand. They have even been discovered by the BBC and played on their Funk and Soul Show! \n  \nJamie\, the singer\, is an outstanding performer\, and what a voice!  She’s backed by a fabulous band. \n  \nThey released a tremendous album in 2022. Can you imagine a soul version of The Seeker by The Who? It’s incredible. The band will be worth seeing for that tune alone. \n  \nAnd when they do “The Letter” (the Joe Cocker hit)\, it’s simply astonishing. \n  \nIt’s hard to describe how good this band is. You will have to come and find out. \n  \nTickets are $20 or $10 for members.

SUMMARY:Bill Lake
DESCRIPTION:“Gentle\, sometimes witty and just as often moving reflections at every turn” – Graham Reid \n  \nGuitarist\, singer and songwriter Bill Lake is a cornerstone of Aotearoa’s musical landscape. With a career spanning more than four decades\, Bill has shaped the sound of New Zealand roots music—leading the iconic Windy City Strugglers\, co-founding the pioneering rock outfit Mammal\, and fronting the brassy\, groove-laden Pelicans in the 80s. \n  \nA gifted storyteller with a wry lyrical touch\, Bill’s songs have been covered by Midge Marsden\, Darren Watson\, Kokomo\, Rag Poets and Marg Layton. His live performances are intimate\, soulful affairs—equal parts reflection and revelation. \n  \nBill is joined by longtime friend and Mammal bandmate Steve Hemmens\, recently returned from the UK\, whose supple bass lines bring warmth and swing. Rounding out the trio is multi-instrumentalist Alan Norman (The Warratahs\, Rag Poets)\, adding colour and texture on accordion\, percussion\, guitar\, and piano. \n  \nTogether\, they offer a rich\, rootsy blend of blues\, folk\, and country music with heart\, history\, and a touch of Wellington grit. \n  \nTicket link is: https://events.humanitix.com/capital-blues-presents-bill-lakes-slow-bake

SUMMARY:Ras Judah and Culture Embassy

SUMMARY:The Dancing & Drinking Society plus support\, William Jackman
DESCRIPTION:The Dancing & Drinking Society (or DADS for short)\, is New Zealand’s premier exponent of authentic 1920s Blues & Jass. \nTheir repertoire includes many of the Rags\, Rambles\, Shuffles\, Drags\, and Blues that our great-grandparents would have shimmied to in the juke joints\, speakeasies\, woolsheds and Memorial Halls of 1920s New Zealand. \nAlthough this combo has a mere 4 members\, it has the impact of a full Syncopating-Orchestra\, with multiple instruments being played simultaneously by multiple band members. \nBlair “Sweet-Lips” Latham – Clarinet\, Bass Clarinet\, Tenor Saxophone \nMat “Mon Colonel” Enright – Trumpet\, Resonator Guitar\, Vocals \nAdrian “AJ” Jensen – Gypsy Guitar\, Bass Drum \nDaniel “Pappy” Yeabsley -Tuba\, Hi-Hat. \n  \nSupporting the DADS\, from 8.30\, will be William Jackman. \nHailing from Wellington and playing his own blend of rock n roll\, country\, and blues mixed with the songwriters of yesteryear\, William Jackman brings his unique collection of self-penned songs. With two solo albums in the works and a breadth of backlogged material with both his band ‘The Shadow Blasters’ and his new unit ‘The New Thing’ William is ready to get back onto the Wellington scene\, dust off the old six-string\, and sing his heart out. \nWilliam will be on at 8.30\, The DADS about 9.15.

SUMMARY:NZSM Big Bands 1 and 2
DESCRIPTION:We showcased the two NZSM Big Bands in July and what incredible performances they gave us. The standard of music from the July gigs was exceptional for such young players. \nAt Capital Blues\, we have a long and deep association with the NZSM Big Bands going back many years. There is the cherished link with Rodger Fox\, but it’s more than that. 80% of the musicians that play in Capital Blues were in the Big Bands (albeit under various institution’s names) at some stage. Our President and soundman\, Damian Forlong\, and Oscar Lavën are only two examples. \n  \nMany of these players will be the future of live music in Wellington. Come along and support them.

DESCRIPTION:This band has come a long way in a short time. \nFrom an early gig with Capital Blues back in September 2024\, they are now releasing their third digital single\, the Beatles’ song I Want You/She’s So Heavy. \nThey will be having a global launch of their first album on 12 September. \nCapital Blues is delighted that BB and the Bullets have chosen them as one of the launch gigs for the new single. \nIf you like your blues led by tremendous guitar backed by a driving rhythm\, you need to be at Capital Blues for this gig. \nIf you like your blues led by tremendous guitar backed by a driving rhythm\, you need to be at Capital Blues for this gig. \nThis is from a review of one of their recent gigs.\n“A few examples of the tunes:\n· One Bourbon\, One Scotch but not like George Thorogood or John Lee Hooker\n· The classic Freddy King song\, Down Down Down\, with a heavy beat.\n· Further On Up The Road wasn’t a rehash of the Eric Clapton tune but sounded more like Johnny Winter.\n· Cold Shot wasn’t another Stevie Ray sound-alike\, but more Jeff Beck.\nAnd so it goes. Fabulous tunes re-imagined in their own style.\nThis is a tight\, well-rehearsed band with rocking bass\, hard-driving John Bonham-style drums\, and excellent guitar on top.” \n  \nCome and see what you missed. \n
