Pōneke-based Tahini Bikini are known for their distinctive sound, a combination of extremely danceable funk, soul and pop influences elevated by frontwoman Mads Taylor’s frank, feisty lyrics and smoky voice.

The seven-piece group released their debut album Fever Dream in 2022, and have since become a fixture at festivals across Aotearoa, performing at Rhythm & Vines, Great Sounds Great, Welcome to Nowhere, Cuba D**a, Outfield, Twisted Frequency and more. As well as Mads on lead vocals, the band features a talented collective of musicians: Mathew Campbell (Backing Vocals, percussion) Darcy Monteath (Bass), Eric Sebastian (drums), Alex Scott-Billing (Guitar) Cameron Robertson (Trumpet) and Aidan Mcculloch (Saxophone/keys).

In 2025 Tahini Bikini released a run of confident, polished singles, with lines like “tell me does it taste good when you lick those boots?” from ‘Mother’ emphasising a turn towards a more pointed, critical tone in the Mads’ songwriting.

They are also soon to be releasing a live album which you can get your hands on early at their gig tomorrow at Moon! A few tickets still available via (link in bio), support from 💃💃

Rising from a year of record rainfall, Wet Denim are a rock band formed in Wellington, New Zealand who have quickly established themselves a must-see live act across New Zealand and Australia with their unique blend of rock with pop sensibilities. Lead singer Nick Goodwin fronts the band, with Luca Crampton featuring on guitar, and brothers Jack Ledword and Joe Ledword on drums and bass.

Since their 2022 debut, Wet Denim have jumped from strength to strength. Their self-titled EP—co-written and produced by NZ pop juggernaut Drax Project—peaked at #11 on the NZ Hot Charts. Their 2024 release On The Line earned airplay on major New Zealand stations, Triple J, featured in Rolling Stone Australia, and garnered attention from international radio and media across the world. A 2023 signing with German label Zebralution expanded the opportunity for global reach even further.

2026 promises to be a busy year with expansive plans for engaging video projects, a good dousing of new music and more live shows in NZ and further afield. Still a few tickets left for their show at Moon tonight!

Denim is heavier, when it’s wet.

Elly Mae crafts songs that encapsulate the bittersweet ache of growth, the quiet unraveling of time, and the soft glow of nostalgia embedded within. Her music is an amalgamation of folk-noir, dreampop, and anything in between. We are so excited to have this wāhine opening for Wet Denim on Sunday!
