The Best Week Of Your Life (Guaranteed)

Guys, we don't normally make demands of you... usually it's just up to you whether and when you come down to our little Tavern of Power... 

But THIS week... you're coming to see us. Here's why... 

Tues 30th April - DJ Marco Liguori - 7pm
Auckland's answer to Morricone makes his debut DJ set at Golden Dawn! 
Rare Italian soundtracks, ice cool jazz, and music to ride your horse across the desert to... Ciao bella!

Wed 1st May - DJ Michael McClelland - 7pm
Coincidence or not, Mikey McClelland was born into this world exactly one minute after the tragic suicide of Kurt Cobain. Now, I'm not saying I believe in reincarnation, or even that I believe it was a suicide... but I do know you should get down here and hear what this fledgling DJ has to say for himself (through the power of music selection).

Thurs 2nd - The Devil’s Jukebox w/ The Professor & Selecta Sam - 8pm
Join DJs Selecta Sam, and The Professor for your fix of quality surrounds, and dangerous sounds! From funk to punk, through soul to rock'n'roll - the Devil made them do it... Last time around the music - raised the fuckin' roof! Which is why we have a tarp cover in place.



Fri 3rd - Husk w/ Narwhal (live) & LVRST DJs - 8pm - $5.00
Fresh off the back of opening for King Tuff AND Moon Duo, rocking some filthy house parties and tearing up the rest of New Zealand with a tour to end all tours, powerful power trio Husk are bringing their groove-heavy brand of R'n'f'n'R to the Tavern of Power! 

Joining these bad boyz are Narwhal (get your psych on!) and the mischief making LVRST DJs!





Sat 4th - The All Seeing Hand w/ Seth Frightening & Totems 
+ DJs King G & P-Pants - 7pm - $5.00
The All Seeing Hand is travelling to disseminate a newly made document of sonic prospecting. Without mandate we have plundered rich veins of acoustic debris and have discovered aural wealth. We have a message.

The All Seeing Hand are collaborators in conversion. Alphabethead provides a dense weaved fabric of sounds, culled through filters and needles. He has created the subliminal future from the carcasses of redundant songs. Jonny Marks breathes your spent breath and mumbled words, and exhales harmonic rich vocals; while you struggle to hear his language your synapses are firing new paths. Benjamin Knight hears your heart and beats it irregular. While your chest collapses with pounding toms, your brain pulsates with frantic snares.
Come, hear The All Seeing Hand’s message. Come, experience, and know.The All Seeing Hand recognises progress.The All Seeing Hand facilitates progress.The All Seeing Hand is progress.Extraction is progress.Conversion is progress.The All Seeing Hand converts.You are already a part of The All Seeing Hand.






Sun 5th - The Phoenix Foundation & DJ English Jake - 5pm - $10
They've just released a new album called FANDANGO, they're just about to go overseas, they'll never fit on our stage, and they could sell out venues twenty times the size of ours... so... WHY THE HELL NOT!

The Golden Dawn are piddling themselves with excited glee to announce a very special cheeky stop-off in Auckland by THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION!

Nope, no ticket sales, no support band, just show up early and pay a mere ten bucks on the door, and we'll do the rest. Party on dudes.
