4:20, 373 K'RD, Newton, Auckland

More Info    Proud Mary is back with her fourth installment presenting Street Chant with Cat Venom, Mtron Bomb, VISTOREY, Tom Tom and Dyson on Friday 17th September, 4:20 K’rd, Auckland.

Street Chant has toured New Zealand with their spiritual antecedents The 3Ds, and were hand-picked to play around Australia with The Dead Weather, while watching every song they released top the b.Net charts.

Street Chant is signed to Arch Hill records - home to their predecessors (The Clean) and their brothers (fellow travellers Surf City, who they’ve shared stages and beers with). Their debut album Means was recorded by legendary producer Bob Frisbee (Shaft, Nothing at All) in 2009, and was released in New Zealand on August 10 ahead of two national tours and a trip to the United States in October.

Cat Venom keep with the punk ideals of old; take something, mess it up, deliver it without caring who cares. In this case, taking the gothic elements (nee: personal loves) of Bauhaus and The Cure but melding it with shades of Robots In Disguise and the devil-may-care attitudes of strong female artists of a bygone age – Lydia Lunch, Exene Cervenka and Siouxie Sioux

Mtron has been a radio and club DJ for years playing alongside some of the finest musical talent from around the globe including Audion, DJ Sega, Yukesk, !!!, Bag Raiders, The Teenagers, Ajax, Villains, Horse Meat Disco, Slap'n'Dash and Ladyhawke.

VISTOREY has been fluttering about the airwaves and local hot spots for the last few years. Just like the urban description, VISTOREY will have you forgo all sleep to spend time with her. Expect girl Pop meets Punk Rock fused together with Italo Disco.

DJ TOM TOM and DYSON are back with the music simply described as perfection. It's Dyson's birthday too so we are making this night extra special.

Proud Mary is a club night for people who enjoy fresh, exciting, pumping tunes. Expect a showcase of some of Australasia's hottest musical talent with people from all walks of life.

Leave your hang ups at the door…Proud Mary’s here for the night.
