Expat Wel­ling­to­ni­an keytar-tot­ing fash­ionista sex­pots Charlie Ash are back in town and play­ing at Bodega this Sat­urday.

There’s the usu­al huge line-up of sup­port acts, includ­ing MC Storm­troop­er, Tri­mas­ter­bate and Heat Like Me, who some of you may remem­ber from the recent L.E.D.s gig. They’re a little bit Eighties elec­tro and just a little bit late-Nineties techno (not that there’s any­thing wrong with that), and they should com­ple­ment Charlie Ash’s punky lycra-glam just so.

But for those who want their rock with a little less glit­ter and a whole lot more feed­back, Sat­urday night may be bet­ter spent at Happy, where Wel­ling­ton’s favour­ite post-prog-drone-noise out­fit The Stumps take on Mel­bourne’s Elise & Jem and Hut­tite ambi­ent-art-met­al super­stars Black Boned Angel. If you’re unde­cided and brim­ming with stam­ina you might try mak­ing it to both: but good luck try­ing to find an out­fit to suit both gigs.
