Just announced - original member Snapper will join ukulele band “The Nukes” for their 4th Wall concert on Saturday 14th Nov, as part of the Taranaki Fringe festival.
The band, including Snapper, have been working on a new Vinyl album called “Life in the Slow Lane” due for release early 2027.
“We’re really excited for the release, we’ve never put a vinyl album out and this new material really suits the format” say Dave Parker. So we will be playing some songs off it plus some old favourites as part of this show. We’ve not performed in New Plymouth for a couple of years and it’s always been a great venue for us, we love it, and it will be extra special with the four of us together."
The Nukes are:
Ben ‘Country boy’ Collier
Dave ‘Fingers of fire’ Parker
Dave ‘Snapper’ Thiele
Josh ‘tumbleweed’ Parker
Expect great songs, musicianship and humour all with a kiwiana flavour. The Nukes have appeared at WOMAD NZ , SPLORE , Auckland and Canterbury Folk Festivals , New Plymouth Festival Of Lights, Wanaka Festival Of Colour, Coastella Festival , Southland Festival Of Arts , Bluff Oyster Festival, Arts On Tour NZ, They have also toured extensively in Australia.
