28th may 05 @ Galatos Basement, Auckland

w/ New Way Home, Cold By Winter, Second Theory and Every Man For Himself

This show was Awesome! If you have ever been to the Galatos Basement then it is usualy used for hip hop/dj acts and is a real small garage type venue with the most shit sound ever. But never the less it was really fun. The place packed out and there was an awesome atmosphere around the place by mid-gig!
Plenty of crowd singing and just really fun times.
 Thanks to all the bands for playing, the night went really well.

The Feel Good Show - 7th May 05
@ Kings Arms, Auckland

it was freezing most of the day and night. like really cold, turn your fingers white type.

Shagg Performance, cheers for coming up from tauranga, glad you enjoyed yourself, sounded good considering youd just driven up, pity about the bass cutting out though. hope you had a boozy night like ya planned.

Task One - shit you guys are getting really good. havent seen you play for a while and heard a few newbies, which were awesome. top show guys.

The Deadbeats - big thankyou to you guys for filling in with such short notice. Enjoyed the set, didnt get to see ya playing, but definately heard it. was cool.

Five Dollar Fee - loved it. Thanks for half the band who traveled up from palmy to play. havent heard you girls since 2003 and you're sounding real good! drums are awesome, very solid. Ups to their new bassist too, i hear was her first show with them.

We Dunno - sounded good. i love the fuck the planet song, always a good one. didnt see them, but it sounded fun from the door.

Losing Face - thats some wicked stuff, so so so tight and some awesome songs in there. I could even sing along to some. thanks for lending the kit for the night! nice.

26th February 05 @ Krazy Jacks, Tauranga 
This show was cool.
 
St Hildegard opened at 11pm. Quite a few people were coming in and checking things out. Nice friendly crowd too. The band, although bruised up from friday night, played a good set. Maybe a few instrument problems but nothing major. The new song "Fear and Loathing" sounded awesome and the crowd really enjoyed it aswel.
Shagg Performance were up next, and showed the crowd a good time. Played for quite a while, but were quite well known being the local band and all. Had some cool stuff, espcially the waikato song i recon.
5th Threat were last, and was quite a short set they played which was dissapointing, but we got over it. Awesome as usual and most of the crowd were singing along. Played a good set considering had just spent a day recording.

thanks to everyone who came. i wish we had pictures of the show...but we dont so oh well. Maiden Events are looking to hold more shows at Krazy Jacks, thanks to Kane and the crew at Krazy Jacks. So keep you eyes open for the next show.

29th October 2004 @ Lifeboat Studios
