The Biscuits/Edward Gains/PGX
Dusting off some Covid cobwebs, The Biscuits (AKL) are heading back down South with notorious trouble maker and dearest friend Ed Gains (Tauranga) and meeting up with our Chch pals PGX to peel out an evening of noisy guitars, smashy drums and catchy/loud, but always powerful jams. Grab a Nippys, a cheesecake, a beer from the bar, some earplugs and join us and the always awesome hosts at Darkroom. It'll be totally sweet! https://thebiscuits.bandcamp.com https://edwardgains.bandcamp.com https://thisispgx.bandcamp.com/album/na-ve
