The Darkness performed at Powerstation last night, bringing sweat-soaked falsettos, razor-sharp riffs and unapologetic glam theatrics to a packed and heaving Auckland crowd, proving that even in 2026, pure, joyous hard rock still feels immediate, communal and impossible to replicate once the lights come up. Last night at Powerstation felt warm before it even properly began, the kind of close, humming warmth that comes from a room filled with expectation rather than just bodies.

AW is Andrew Wilson, one-third of 2000’s formed Ōtepoti band Die! Die! Die!, alongside Tamaki Makaurau musicians Kim Martinengo (Drums) and bassist Morgan Leary (Bass), with Stephan Neville (Pumice & O/PUS) on the mixing desk for the recording of THE NERVE. I saw AW live on debut (and once or twice since), and they excited me silly, with the space they created within their retro post-punk framework.
