Midwave Breaks

Midwave Breaks celebrate NZ Music Month 2022 with their first-ever live show, performing an intimate showcase at The Jam Factory. Launching during the Covid pandemic may have delayed their live connection, but the 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.

In keeping with the NZ Music Month ‘Level Up’ theme, Midwave Breaks will be supported by one of the senior Rock Bands from Otumoetai College, encouraging the next generation of local musicians.
