Banks Arcade

Banks Arcade, who have become a Melbourne Storm of an alt rock band, make a trip to their state of origin, Auckland, to headline a night of metal fire-power and bruising physicality from the front row forwards in the audience.

After being super cautious about getting back out to shows, I'm out again for gig number two. A sense of normalcy seems to grow with each outing, and tonight's no different.

Banks Arcade, returning from overseas adventures, are touring in support of their debut album ‘Future Lovers'. They have assembled a crew of fellow travellers that, like an artfully arranged degustation menu, provide a taste of multiple facets of Antipodean metal.
