About this concert
Powder Chutes have finished recording their debut album, and whilst this is being mixed ready for mastering, they embark on a four date mini-tour of the South Island to celebrate, and road test the new tunes live… Boom!
The gigs, (well, 3 of them), land during NZ Music Month, and they’re stoked that they will be playing with IVY, Mads Harrop, Superficial, Saint Peter’s Thursday, Rammshakyll and The Fatty Burnaties (formerly The Nookies)… a true mini-showcase of epic south island kiwi bands.
Following gigs in Dunedin and Wanaka, Powder Chutes play their first headline show, on the last day of NZ Music Month at Space Academy, Ōtautahi / Christchurch with self-proclaimed dead filthy rock trio Saint Peter’s Thursday and emo collective Only You for a raucous celebration of all things Gee and Tar… definitely not one to be missed.
This will be Powder Chutes’ first headline gig in Christchurch, and their first playing Space Academy.
Other Dates:
The Crown Hotel, Ōtepoti / Dunedin - 23rd May with IVY & Mads Harrop
Rhyme & Reason Brewery, Wānaka – 24th May with IVY & Superficial
The Boiler House, Timaru – 1st June with The Fatty Burnaties & Rammshakyll.

Powder Chutes Biography
Powder Chutes are a rock band from New Zealand, producing fiercely original music described by NZ Musician Magazine as having ”a modern grunge feel, mixed with punk angst and hard rock’ .
Compared to everyone from Tool, to Highly Suspect, they're made up of Archie (drums), Clarke (guitar), Henry (vocals), & Otis (bass), and are described by Radio One 91FM as “already punching well above their weight in the Aotearoa music scene… with chunky riffs, and BIG fills, they have every head turning”.
In addition to their headline shows, Powder Chutes opened for The Feelers, Dolphin Friendly, Big Sima, East York, Pull Down The Sun, Pieces Of Molly, and The Jordan Luck Band. They also opened for ZZ Top, Pat Benatar, Stone Temple Pilots and The Angels in front of 18,000.
Their single ‘Moths To The Flame’ achieved major radio airplay, entering at #9 on the Official NZ Hot 20 NZ Singles Charts, and was voted onto the 2023 Rock FM 2000 at #1730. Between May 26th and July 28th, 2023 it was in the 40 most played rock songs on New Zealand radio for 8 out of 10 weeks.
Powder Chutes were recently chosen by Alien Weaponry as the winners of the inaugural AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand 'Thrash More’ competition.
The boys are currently finishing their debut album.
Sweet noise pollution... groove-fueled grunge... Powder Chutes are electrifying, ambitious, and ready to make their mark as an original rock band worthy of attention.
