Coming Events

TROY KINGI ANNOUNCES ‘LEATHERMAN & THE MOJAVE GREEN’ TEN DATE NATIONWIDE ALBUM RELEASE TOUR

Album number eight of the 10 | 10 | 10 series - ‘Leatherman & the Mojave Green’ is a homecoming of sorts for Troy, returning to the genre of music that ultimately enticed him into the industry - rock music. Inspired in his mid teens by so many artists that have come from or created in the Mojave Desert region (Kyuss, QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal) it was an easy decision for Troy to record this album in the home of Desert Rock: Joshua Tree, in a studio synonymous with that sound 'Rancho de la Luna'.

Blame it on the Boogie has been specifically designed to release an onslaught of endorphins, burn multiple calories and place you into a euphoric state of disco bliss.

It must be noted that there are a range of side effects that may result approximately 12 hours after event initiation.

Main side effects are as follows:

Sore, tired feet.

Aching leg muscles.

Some may experience mild hip pain.

Welcome back to another round of musical action put on by the awesome students of the Mauao Performing Arts Centre.

We are cracking along with 2024 at the centre and there are some great songs being learned and skills getting honed. Come and check out what all the fuss is about on Sunday the 22nd of September for our Term 3 Student Concert!
