Andrew's Journey: A Proven Track Record
Andrew's music journey started in high school when he co-organised the Local Output Band Competition in 2001, spotlighting North Shore High School bands and nurturing emerging artists.
​
The competition thrived until 2007, a testament to Andrew's support for local talent. He expanded his dedication by curating open-air music events in North Shore, including iconic gigs at Marlborough Park in Glenfield, Browns Bay Beach, and Onewa Domain. It was at one of these shows that he discovered The Rabble, a band he'd collaborate with closely, booking their gigs, managing their online presence, and touring Europe with them.
​
Embracing the digital age, Andrew became an early adopter of MySpace and Social Media, handling The Rabble's online presence and bookings. This led to a remarkable 2008 tour across England and Europe, sharing stages with the greatest Punk bands in the world. In 2009, Andrew returned to his film and television career.
​
In 2010, he resumed booking gigs for Kiwi bands and delved into DJing, injecting Punk, Rock, and Metal energy into his sets.
​
In 2013, Andrew played a pivotal role in transforming Ding Dong Lounge into an Auckland CBD live music hotspot. He joined late in 2012, recognised for his expertise by the venue's owner. After over a decade as the venue's booker, Andrew stepped away in May 2023. Though not in the booking game full-time, he keeps the music scene connection alive through DJing and hosting club nights.
