GODS of ROCK is all about having a feel-good, no fuss, classic rock/metal night out in Wellington … but it’s also non-profit, so you should know that you helped raise a huge $2,600! That’s a cool $1300 each for the Cancer Society of New Zealand and the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal. You done good! Party on. \m/

GODS of ROCK is going to explode with the sounds of Axle & Slash as locals G’N’F’N’R are going to be joining us to unleash their Guns N’ Roses Tribute act. Along with the Angry DJs, AC/DC Tribute, Metallica Tribute and Awards, this is totally going to rule! Make sure you dress up to rock out.
The legendary Sabbra Cadabra have supported GODS of ROCK since the start, so we’re totally gutted they’ve had to pull out due to bad health (broken bones – although we should make up a sex, drugs & rockn’roll story, TV out the 10th floor window, choking on someone else’s vomit. Something like that). Give them a shoutout on their Facebook page. Pending recovery, we’ll definitely be talking to them in the lead up to the next DressUp & RockOut event (Rocktober 2011).

Not far off of 2011 now and plans are well underway for our next big Rock party.
Keeping the DressUp & RockOut party vibe, we’ve got two superb Rock Tribute bands lined up, Rock DJs, Rock Awards, and some extra Rock magic to throw into the mix too… so make sure there is some space in your diary around Friday 25th March or Friday 1st of April.
This’ll be a Rocktober type event, but it ain’t in October, so it needs a name of its own…
Let us know your suggestions!

Facebook &
Twitter as a daily countdown to Rocktober, it was awesome pulling together my view on the 40 most awesome rock songs of all time. Seriously, give it a go! Try pulling together your top 5 / 10 / 40. Go on. It’s damn hard to distil it down and you’ll keep thinking of more and more tracks that just have to fit in there somewhere … a great excuse to listen to a load of your favourites. It’s like therapy, man. Your definition of rock can be as sweeping or narrow as you like, just get stuck in.
