Prisoners of War love playing live music. Live music is a really important aspect of how we share our creativity, and it always ends up being super fun for everyone. So, for these reasons, we are always super keen to play more shows in front of more and more people, branching out to different areas such as Hamilton and Tauranga to get different audiences.
Meet King Fish, the killer three-piece band with Jacob on drums, Heinzy on bass, and Jay rocking guitar and vocals. They’re all about heavy riffs but with a cool twist: each instrument gets its own space to breathe, avoiding that full-throttle, non-stop noise. Their sound hits hard but stays clear and balanced, giving them a unique edge in the scene.
Coromind spotlights Kendall Elise, a talented singer-songwriter, producer, recording artist, and guitarist from Papakura, South Auckland, who lives in Thames. Known for her unique blend of country-tinged tunes and soul-stirring ballads, Kendall’s dynamic live performances captivate audiences, evoking a range of emotions from laughter to tears.
The Creative World of Commodore65
Commodore65 consists of Joshua on keys and vox, Phil on bass and vox, and Jessica on drums and vox. Their shed-punk vibe blends punk and garage elements with a healthy dose of retro gaming nostalgia. Their lyrical themes cover a wide spectrum – from delving into deep mental and emotional experiences to taking jabs at politicians, poking fun at trashy TV and being really tired!
How Music Shaped Thames
Music has the ability to entertain, provide comfort, lessen anxiety and uplift the spirit. The importance of entertainment was very evident during the heady, gold rush days of the 1800s in New Zealand, none more so than in Thames. Speculators and large companies brought new prosperity to Thames, and a rush of prospectors were lured to the newly opened goldfields, hoping to make their fortune.
