Vintage Weekend Caboodle
Whanganui's biggest weekend was a smashing success once again and we were thrilled to be asked to play the main stage for a prime mid afternoon spot! It was great to also play for a few friends that had travelled and not see us before. A great day had by all!
Shannon’s Fundraiser
We had no hesitation whatsoever in answering the call for Shannon when she needed support the most while battling some health issues. The Whanganui band scene really came together for this one and a great time was had by all. Numerous bands donated their time and talent to the cause. And we can now happily report that Shannon is now back to full heath. Amazing!
Pauls Road Festival
The 13th annual Pauls Road Live went ahead in Whanganui East after a nervous week, with the country dropping back to Covid-19 alert level 1 at 6am on the morning of the show. Cloud and the odd shower did nothing to put anyone off.
Back to the Lucky Bar
A small but enthusiastic crowd gathered to see us play a few new tracks and celebrate our fist gig back after lockdown. The Mean Owls played an awesome set and the entire night was well received.
