CHURCH presents CHAPTER FIVE.
And so we gather once more.

On August 8, we celebrate five years of CHURCH.

To mark this milestone, we continue ART COLLABS, an ongoing series of collaborations with Aotearoa artists, with a new work by ringatoi Māori Māia Keane (Te Tairāwhiti).

In Māia's words, the work plays on the idea of Church as a place of gathering, where connection and freedom take centre stage. Framed by a triangular shelter, the piece leans into sanctuary, with whaiaipo, to pursue love beneath the cover of night, sitting at its heart.

What began as a party has become something much greater than ourselves. Through countless dancefloors, friendships and collaborations, CHURCH has grown into a community held together by the people who continue to show up.

Ngā mihi nui to Māia for this collaboration. It was a pleasure working together. Please take a moment to follow the artist and support her work.

And to the CHURCH gatherers who have walked with us these past five years, thank you for helping shape what this community has become.

More than ever, this feels like a time to rejoice. To celebrate, and to give thanks for all that has been, and all that is yet to come.

8 August - NECK OF NTHE WOODS

More information coming soon.

Tickets available now.

Kia ora my gorgeous constiuents,

I've been venturing into the dark of Night Life for the majority of my life now. I've had the immense privilege and joy of DJing all over the world, in so many clubs, festivals, raves, house parties, galleries etc - you name it - for the past 8 years.. and while my career often takes me elsewhere, my focus has always been creating nightlife experiences at home.

Like most of us, I look around in the evening these days and notice that there is a gaping hole, or perhaps a fleeting feeling I long for, or perhaps it's for a space we're craving... I hear consistently, from you all, that there is a need for something new to fill this void of venues closing, festivals ending, this endless neocapitalist loop train we're all on that's forcing our young creative fledglings to seek greener pastures overseas -- and I'm simply over it!!!!!!!

AND SO, here I am on this mission, to finally (unofficially) become the Night Mayor that Tāmaki Makaurau deserves for real.

Part of upholding this role is my participation in a 3 week course at the institution that is Tresor in Berlin, where I will attend the "how to run a club" course. I'm one of 8 from around the world that have been selected to attend this school, and it is with the heartiest honour that I'm representing AUCKLAND.

so I figured it's high time to wheel it up and run it back: HALFQUEEN presents the NIGHTMAYOR Marathon set - this Friday evening at our beloved Neck of the Woods.

This marathon set is a humble offering, in exchange for a couple of your hard earned bucks. This pūtea will fund my travel expenses, so I might learn some good stuff and bring it home, in the hopes of one day operating the Club we've all dreamt about in the heart of the city.

I lean on you all to reflect me, give me purpose and meaning, and show up, and so, I invite you, once again, to spend a couple of hours with me on Friday, as I take you thru the sonic treasures that have soundtracked my career + life, so we might shake our asses and reimagine how we might want our worlds to feel, in communion.

TLDR; come shake your ass for me to get to Berlin to learn some things!

Summit Touring presents: 6SENSE (AUS)

We're going full throttle with our production with this, seeking to capture the the feel of being at the festival for a one night out of season experience.

We also have people putting their own work in as giveaways to help support the cause, those, line up and a few other things to come.

Georgia Knight with her full live band

Banished Music proudly welcomes Georgia Knight back to Aotearoa, following her standout solo performance at The Others Way. After captivating audiences with a spellbinding set that lingered long after the final note, Georgia brings her singular world of sound back to New Zealand stages, expanded, immersive, and more powerful than ever, this time with her full live band. 

Naarm-born and sometimes Aotearoa-based, Knight crafts otherworldly pop from autoharp, dusty loops, synth textures, and avant-garde edges. Her 2023 EP Hell on Bent Street established her as a rising force, with appearances at Dark Mofo, Rising, Camp A Low Hum, and shows alongside Blonde Redhead and Mogwai. 

It’s been a big 12 months for Georgia. Her independently released debut album Beanpole, described by KEXP as "an evocative set of dimly-lit, hypnotic, psych-tinted pop", earned praise from Sharon Van Etten, Arab Strap, and BBC Radio 6 Music. Critics highlighted her "shadowy, seductive trip-hop textures" (KCRW), "extraordinary vocal range and graveside poems" (The 13th Floor), and "goosebumps"-inducing live performances (BBC Radio 6). 

Supporting the album, she was booked for a string of highly coveted festivals including The Great Escape (UK), Golden Plains (AU), Phoenix Central Park (AU), The Others Way (NZ), and Port Noise (NZ). 

Now touring her 2025 album Beanpole, recorded with Andrew ‘Idge’ Hehir, Georgia returns with a fuller, immersive live show, intimate, cinematic, and impossible to look away from.
