- **Event Name**: Villainy and Dead Empire under the Tauranga Harbour bridge
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 am
- **Event Description**: Over the years, playing under the Tauranga Harbour Bridge has gone from being the cursed gig option, for when no venue will let your awful act play, to the hottest venue in town - only hosting the finest in national and international bands. But even though the bridge has sky rocketed in prestige and popularity, I still try to give back to the NZ music scene and give new bands their chance to prove themselves when I can.  

So when I received a nice polite message from some eager kids, with a little rock band from Auckland called Villainy. I thought to myself, maybe I could help these kids get their break and let them play the bridge. Give them some exposure and experience,  after all the music industry can be an unforgiving place for those just starting out. And I know, the bridge has built to a certain level of talent and expectation but I remember what it was like as a rookie musician playing my first gigs, so let’s all come together as the supportive scene we are and help these eager young boys as they take their first steps towards stardom.

Their singer, Neil tells me that they have received some airplay on NZ radio, and as I told him, community radio is a great start and to keep trying as one day mainstream radio might pick them up. They have a good sound and are good looking young lads, so who knows what awaits. He also said that Villainy has supported some bands like Incubus, Offspring, AC/DC, but as you know Neil, tribute acts don’t really count. So as a caring elder of the scene I’m going to give them some real live gigging experience and graciously let them play with a proper rock band when they open for local rock heroes Dead Empire under the harbour bridge on Sunday 15th March at 1pm. 

I know this is all pretty last minute and slapdash so they get the poster they deserve, but Neil reckons that Villainy are playing a “festival” aka bogan paddock party in Hamilton the day before so they should at least be slightly more seasoned than I was expecting. So I hope you will come support them and maybe even give a little bit of koha as this could be their first paid gig guys, so let’s make it a special one for them.
