Weapons   

When all but one child from the same classroom mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.  

 

Mr Burton  

The story of the wild school boy Rich Jenkins, son of a boozy miner and an English teacher who recognised his talent, Philip Burton.

Established more than 40 years ago, the Exponents are Kiwi rock legends. 

They’re part of New Zealand’s sonic landscape – a guaranteed play at the pub, a party, or a summer barbeque.  

The band initially parted ways in 1999, but have periodically reunited in the years since and will be doing the same for this year’s Synthony Festival.  

Frontman Jordan Luck told Jack Tame they’re very excited about this one – they only do a handful of shows as the Exponents these days, so he’s really looking forward to it. 

"It’s going to be an amazing event.”

Amid all the nostalgia and reunion tours of late, Kevin Milne has been battling to keep his music taste fresh.  

Instead of rushing to buy a ticket for Guns N’ Roses or Split Enz, he picked up a ticket to Kiwi band The Beths and went along last night.

"It’s been three years since I was last in Tauranga and it’s so uplifting to see cranes in the sky, the glossy sheen of brand-new buildings, and the civic centre’s sure-footed makeover taking shape. Fresh and inviting public spaces are continuing to unfurl across the Te Papa peninsula and waterfront. After paying my regards to the delightful Hairy Maclary and friends sculptures adorning the fabulously enticing children’s playground on Tauranga’s waterfront in a story book setting, I checked out The Strand Reserve and waterfront boardwalk. It has immeasurably enhanced the city centre’s sense of connection with Tauranga Harbour. There’s a great new sense of art-filled vitality sprouting in the city centre. A starring specimen in Red Square is the stunning public sculpture called Rauhea."
