Paydirt Pony, Bar Bodega 06 December. First public performance in Wellington by the newly formed group Paydirt Pony with front woman Tyree Robertson. The drummer and bass player switch during the set, which makes this band visually and aurally unpredictable and fun. They opened for another band but they could headline any time, any place. Tyree is known for her kick ass blues style, with lots of power and her fabulous voice. This new group adds another dimension of girl punk power to their original tunes. You can see Paydirt Pony every Wednesday at the Adelaide in Newtown.
Tyree is making a wonderful contribution to the arts community by hosting an open mic every Wednesday from 7:30 to 11 pm at the Adelaide in Newtown. (A few weeks ago, she held a raffle and gave away a free guitar to one of the performers!!) It’s an open mic for anything, music, performance, poetry, rants and raves. Everyone gets a shot with each performance limited to three songs, or it’s equivalent for you poets. Even if a particular performer is not your cup of tea, it will be over by the time you come back from the bathroom. But I guarantee this won’t happen often or at all. Each time I have gone, I have had a great time. There is some amazing talent on that stage.
Adelaide, Newtown. No cover. Support the bar. Even if you don’t drink, get a juice. This Wednesday yours truly will do her three songs, or two, maybe one. I’m shy but there is someone inside me, who wrote a song about one of the worst things I can think of that can happen to someone when they drink. It’s called “I Miss You.” Anyone else miss drinking?
