Tonight at the Bur­gundy Room at Bode­ga you can wit­ness the third live out­ing of a new band fresh from record­ing their demo.  Be there so you can brag to your friends that you were into them before they hit the big time.  Simon Sweet­man does­n’t hate them, so that is some kind of endorse­ment 😉

The Good Words is made up of:

These guys are all kinds of awe­some, they kick off at 9.00pm with sup­port from Old Time Ene­mies $10 on the door.  All the dets are on the invite here.

Their bio says it as well as I can:

Take one soul-jazz tem­plate, elon­gate it, daub in bits of funk, traces of pop and the ener­gy of a rock band to cre­ate 21st-cen­tu­ry Diva blues. Proud­ly Kiwi, defi­ant­ly orig­i­nal and with enough quirk to keep them far from the labels of any par­tic­u­lar ‘scene’, The Good Words live in the moments with­in songs, side­step­ping the obvi­ous com­par­isons by offer­ing just enough spon­tane­ity in the per­for­mance, enhanc­ing the craft­ed tunes. Hook­ing the audi­ence from start to fin­ish.
