Get ready for an evening of electrifying pop‑rock Friday the 13th November as The Underbellies take the Firebird stage with their rich, 80s‑infused rock sound.
Born in Manawatū and forged in their own Waterford Studios, this five‑piece delivers a visceral, high‑energy performance that swings from gritty rock‑blues riffs to shimmering synth hooks. Expect the keys‑driven sorcery of Mark "Lodge" Boyes, razor‑sharp guitar work from Andy Dunbar, Uncle Alan Clark’s unmistakable tone, Terry Jackson’s machine‑tight rhythms, and thundering low‑end from Pietro Cariga,

The Underbellies bring a sound that’s nostalgic yet alive and kicking, mixed with their performances of rock covers (from Gary Numan to Pink Floyd, passing by ZZTop and Neil Young), the perfect soundtrack for a Friday‑the‑13th night charged with groove and quirky vibes.
