Autumn Groove at Aotea Brewing - Moved to ANZAC
2025-04-26 12:00 - 18:00 | Aotea Brewing – The Village, 50A Mason Road, 0991, New Zealand
Let’s have one last crack before winter!
Come on down to our Autumn Groove at the brewery on ANZAC weekend Saturday arvo.
We are stoked to be bringing you five piece reggae/ska band Strangely Arousing
Proudly living an odyssey dreamed up in a forge of fiery hearts – these four young scallywags have been around the world and back since their formation in Rotorua in 2013. They moved to Auckland as a collective and promptly dropped out of University to tour full-time. Since then they’ve clocked multiple near sell-out circuits of NZ, a tour of South Korea/China, and Dubai. This journey has kept the boys together longer than many marriages.
And while the union of man and woman can bless us with the wonders of new life; six years of union (and blood, and sweat, and tears… and Jim Beam) between these trippy hippies has led to the genesis of a new wave of music inspired by New Zealand’s legendary hip-hop and reggae dub forefathers.
In an era where Fat Freddy’s Drop and Red Hot Chili Peppers are considered heritage artists and in a world where it’s ok to take the good bits from wherever you happen to find them, Strangely Arousing considers themselves “trans genre” and have dropped multiple bone-wiggling E.P.s if you want to find out what that means.
While they may be hard to describe they are easy to enjoy: Their Dub/Jazz/Reggae/everything-that’s-good influenced sound has taken them from the main stage of Rhythm and Vines to the exotic cityscapes of Dubai and Beijing.
This train has been chugging along for awhile now, and it’s not gonna stop anytime soon.

Alongside these awesome grooves we will be experimenting with some seasonal food and drinks created especially for the event which celebrate the new collaborations across our Mason Road hub of Aotea Brewing, Aotea Roast, Good Neighbours Foodtruck and Motu Community Plant Nursery.
As always kids are welcome if they are supervised by whanau.
