Summer Slamz, West Auckland's very own extreme summer
festival slams down again on Saturday 27th February 2010
11am-5pm Te Pai Park, Henderson and participation is
everything say organisers. Whether it's on stage or at the
skate/bike park, they want you involved.
With both the Cheapskates Skate and Bike Barn BMX
competitions onsite you can see how those tricks you've
practiced all summer stack up in front of the professional
judges or pick up some tips from the more advanced riders
and pros. Registrations for the skate and BMX competitions
are on site from 11am and incredible prize packages worth
$1000's are up for grabs from Cheapskates, Bike Barn and
Adio. A jump box is also onsite for all big air lovers.
This year also sees the inclusion of a 2nd music stage from
Zeal and Global Cafe the purpose built music performance and
recording facility in central Henderson that has seen Zeal
working to develop opportunities for local bands since it's
opening in 2008. "This is an amazing opportunity for local
acts - the chance to play on the bill with established major
New Zealand artists and in front of a large home crowd,"
says Stacey Hitchcock from Zeal. "The Global Cafe venue can
hold 500 max whereas Summer Slamz sees between 3000-5000 at
the festival - it's that next step of experience and
exposure for these musicians many of whom like Edge of Fury,
Blue Room Experiment and Lemon Pie are all still in their
teens."
This year's main stage lineup of acts includes the now iconic
pop rock outfit Elemeno P who appear ageless and
RnB/Rapsters Smashproof still riding high after the success
of 'Brother' feat Gin Wigmore which spent 11 weeks at No 1
in 2009. Support comes from The Earlybirds hot off a summer
tour with The Feelers and Jordan Luck and openers
TheseFourWalls.
