It’s been a long time, but 18 years after their NZ debut, Bright Eyes have returned to Auckland bringing their aptly-named For The First Time In Forever Tour to the Powerstation. There was a chill in the air but the vibe was warm as fans began filling up the venerable venue.

Support came from Brighton based band Penelope Isle who were absolutely fantastic. Their mix of great bass riffs, solid drumming and airy reverb soaked guitars gave a fantastic vibe and had the crowd moving from early in the set.
