Christmas Fever at the Tavern of Power

Tuesday 20th December ~ DJ Marty Duda
You've heard his in-depth features on Radio NZ, you've enjoyed his passionately informed writings across various publications throughout the years, and now it's time to enjoy his selections LIVE at the Golden Dawn. Hearing a few hours worth of music from Sir Duda's impressive collection will be like licking the tip of an Everest-sized iceberg, so come along and learn something! 7pm - late

Wednesday 21st December ~ Record Turnover (Sweden)
Sweden's favourite club-night is invading Auckland for one night only, with everyone's favourite International Man of Musickery - DJ Krister Bladh - at the stålhjul (wheels of steel). Krister says he'll be "Playing all the favourites of 2011, both old and new. That will include garage and punk, northern soul, 6ts beat and mod!" --- Pretty kewl huh. 7pm - late


Thursday 22nd December ~ Yam Jams Xmas Special
Casual B and Elbo E Xmas are "in da house" for the last Yam Jams blam blam of the year! Our trusty friends and vinyl fiends are set to merry up the place once again like only they can! If you've never tasted a Yam Jams party, you're in for a treat - with everything from delicious old jazz to juicily rare soul and funk, to chewy little hip-hop numbers, and a few cheeky party poppers thrown in for good measure. Fa la la la la, la la la la.8pm - close

Friday 23rd December ~ The Great Golden Dawn Christmas Party
Guaranteed to be a wild night to pretend to remember, The Golden Dawn's holy gates are being thrown open for one final Friday freak-fest. Get in early with some saucy afternoon to evening exotica, courtesy of Mr Todd Beeby, then swing your Christmas baubles to the mod-tastic Mr Murray Cammick - back for one more round of good times! Then, topping off an already exhaustingly excellent evening is Mr Roger the Money - aka our dear friend Brant, back again to tip the scales of party-time to an almost unfairly weighed down radicalness.

Not sure if that all made sense, but the point is - we're going out with a Christmas cracker type bang. Complete with bad jokes and potential not to work when you pull it. 7pm - close

Saturday 24th December ~ DJ Santa Cruz & friends
Ho ho ho, etc. If you're still in town on the night before Christmas, and feel like being a bit of a creature stirring, come duck under our mistletoe for one last shimmy. DJ Santa Cruz has loaded up his i-Sleigh with yuletide tunes, so come rock around the Christmas tree with us before it's 2012 and the world ends in a violent apocalypse! xox 7pm - *MIDNIGHT CLOSE*

Sunday 25th December ~ Closed, of course.
See you back here on Thursday January 5th!
