Las Tetas at The Others Way Music Festival
Having attended more live shows than Gordon Ramsay has recipes, I’ve seen it all—from the painstakingly meticulous to the gloriously chaotic. As a songwriter and musician with an ear for just about every genre under the sun, it was no surprise that tonight’s lineup at The Other Way festival served up something for everyone. In fact, it was nothing short of a sonic smorgasbord, a carefully curated feast of aural sculpting that tantalised every sense.
Las Tetas
Auckland's music underground buzzed with raw electricity as Las Tetas took the stage last night, delivering a performance that felt like Jan Hellriegel jamming in a grunge-soaked Seattle basement. Held at Whammy, the gig was an intoxicating collision of kiwi alt-pop soul and the unrelenting angst of Nirvana-era rock.
The band was equally captivating, with their bassist locking into thick, sludgy grooves reminiscent of Krist Novoselic’s understated genius. Meanwhile, the drummer unleashed a ferocity that would’ve made Dave Grohl nod in approval, balancing chaos with precision.
The small venue magnified the intensity, its walls sweating with collective energy. Fans screamed along to every chorus and swayed continuously. It was a scene that felt less like a concert and more like a grunge revival church service, with Las Tetas as the gospel bearers.
Keep an eye on this band; they’re not just reviving the ghosts of past eras—they’re exorcising them into something thrillingly alive.
