HOME BREW
Formed in 2012 by Tom Scott, Lui Gumaka and Harry “Haz Beats” Huavi. Home Brew recently rocked back into the limelight with the release of their first album in 10 years, Run It Back.
Using the hiatus to work on other projects, including Tom Scott’s Avantdale Bowling Club and to continue to hone their craft, the Home Brew crew are back bigger and better than ever before, bringing a performance to Brew Year’s Eve that you will not want to miss.
SUBLIME with ROME
Sublime with Rome, the ska alternative rock group from California, was formed in 2010 by Rome Ramirez, Eric Wilson, and Bud Gaugh. With fan-favorite hits such as “Wrong Way”, “Santeria”, “Badfish”, “What I Got”, “Caress Me Down”, “40oz to Freedom” and many more, the band's concerts are pure sing-along enjoyment from the beginning to end.
Forced to postpone their appearance at Brewtown earlier this year, Sublime with Rome is thrilled to make it up to their New Zealand fans by joining us for Brew Year’s Eve!
THE BLACK SEEDS
Double-platinum selling, homegrown heroes The Black Seeds are stoked to be bringing their heavyweight South Pacific reggae, funk and soul vibes to Brewtown, Upper Hutt for Brew Year’s Eve.
The Black Seeds have been entertaining NZ and international crowds alike since 1998, smashing out their biggest hits from albums including Keep on Pushing, On the Sun, Love & Fire and more.
