It’s not often I venture into town these days. Closing in on 23 years of
age I am too old to get excited about Pitbull and Selena Gomez. I’m not really
a fan of Drum and Bass and to be honest even though Oasis is pretty good band I
have seen enough renditions of Wonderwall in the Hamilton CBD to last me a
lifetime.
When I saw that Paquin were coming to Hamilton I jumped at the chance.
It’s not very often a New Zealand tour includes the chlamydia capital. I was a fan
of the band after discovering their song ‘Quiet Heart’ on Spotify last year, so
I dragged along as many people as I could to go and check them out.
Paquin are a four-piece band blurring the line between trance-y electronic
music and indie pop rock. Their line up consists of guitarist/vocalist,
drummer, bass player and a real modular synthesizer, which was impressive to
see in action.
Paquin played a solid set to a very small crowd of around 20 or so
people. It was a very intimate show that in my opinion deserved a much bigger
audience. The show was still amazing, with local opening acts The Goth and the
Pixie and Glass Shards putting on great sets as well.
Nivara Lounge is a very cosy venue with many leather couches,
accommodating staff, and a wide range of craft beers. No matter what your
musical taste is, I would recommend heading along at any chance you get.
