United Kingdom<br />
Cabaret<br />
Cabaret star Spanky returns home from London for a<br />
performance of his/her hit show Candice McQueen:<br />
Nasty! accompanied by Cam Nicol on guitar.<br />
Spanky – originally from Wanganui – held a<br />
seven-year residency at London’s infamous<br />
Bistro<strong>the</strong>que, has performed for three British<br />
Prime Ministers and had private bookings at <strong>the</strong><br />
request of El<strong>to</strong>n John and Alexander McQueen.<br />
Earlier this year he/she <strong>to</strong>ured Australia<br />
<strong>to</strong> rapturous applause, winning major arts<br />
awards in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.<br />
Spanky’s alter-ego, <strong>the</strong> immortal demi-goddess<br />
Candice McQueen, is a Mr Sister who has partied<br />
her way around <strong>the</strong> world for thousands of<br />
years. The show is a comedy-cabaret about<br />
Candice falling in love with a fallen 90s screen<br />
idol and <strong>the</strong> journey <strong>to</strong> save both <strong>the</strong>ir lives.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r successful band out of <strong>the</strong> stable of LOOP<br />
Recordings Aot(Ear)oa, and a massive crowd<br />
pleaser at this year’s WOMAD, AHoriBuzz, returns<br />
<strong>to</strong> New Plymouth <strong>to</strong> wow crowds again with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
unique blend of psychedelic funk and rock.<br />
Aaron Tokona has been around music for years. His<br />
first band, Weta, supported <strong>the</strong> likes of Foo Fighters,<br />
Soundgarden and Everclear. He describes his two<br />
current bands, Cairo Knife Fight and AHoriBuzz<br />
as, “A mongrel of a sound w<strong>here</strong> anything goes...<br />
Cairo Knife Fight music is a balls-<strong>to</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-floor<br />
headrush. AHoriBuzz music is a cross between<br />
techno, funk, house, blues, rock and reggae.”<br />
Often a slow-burning start will gradually<br />
build <strong>to</strong> a wild intensity – riff-fired,<br />
unhinged and hallucina<strong>to</strong>ry. This<br />
performance will be out of <strong>the</strong> box!<br />
