Midwave Breaks

Midwave Breaks follow up NZ Music Month 2022 with their first-ever Auckland show! Launching during the Covid pandemic may have delayed their live connection, but the Tauranga-based Alt-Rock Duo have made an impressive impact at Rock Radio since releasing their debut single ‘Lemonade Hand Grenade’ in 2021.

The band features former Supergroove drummer, and West End ‘Stomp’ performer Paul Russell, joining forces with his brother in arms from late 90’s Auckland rockers Eight, singer-songwriter and guitarist Bruce Conlon. The music is a modern take on the soundtrack of their youth - epitomized by 80’s-90’s alternative rock/pop - evoking hints of Springsteen and Petty, Cornell and Vedder. Driven by the energy of the creative process, and with an innate ability to craft songs that capture a moment, the Midwave Breaks sound is purposefully retrospective mixed with the new.

Midwave Breaks are joined by special guests Retro Valley. Hailing from Hamilton, the 5 piece Indie-Pop-Rockers know how to write catchy tunes, and deliver a great live show.
