Late Lounge. PAST EVENT

We bring the late-night Thursday buzz back to Lower Hutt with this evening event. All galleries, cafe, bar, Visitor Lounge and Shopette are open till 9pm, with a live musical performance by Harbour City Electric from 7pm. Bring your family and friends to this relaxed, all ages event - entry is by koha.

Hailing from Wellington, Harbour City Electric is a live seven-piece band who have incorporated a diverse array of influences - ranging from Motown era funk and soul through to contemporary Hip-Hop to create their unique sound. Throwing synthesizers, tight horns, a kicking rhythm section and world-class vocals into the mix, Harbour City Electric have crafted their own unique style, which can only be described as Acid-funk and heavy break-beat soul.

April 20th 2009 saw the release of their debut EP, featuring guest singer extraordinaire Lisa Tomlins (Fat Freddy’s Drop, Recloose, Rhombus) and five superbly crafted tracks. Since it’s release to radio, “Red Pepper” – the groups debut single – has received extensive airplay nationwide, enjoyed eight consecutive weeks on RadioScopes Alt Top 40, and more recently several weeks at Kiwi FM’s number 1 spot.                                                                                                                                                                            Find out more about the band on MySpace.
