Devilskin, Powerstation, Saturday
To be honest, TimeOut was caught out by the quickfire success of these Hamilton-bred Kiwi rockers. But sold-out shows and a debut album that spent three weeks at No. 1 speaks for itself. So today we right those wrongs with an interview with Jennie Skulander, the seriously entertaining Devilskin singer. Ahead of their sold out Powerstation show, she tells us about life on the road with the boys in her band (lots of farting in the tour bus, apparently), how she taught herself to sing by listening to her dad's record collection, and why the "Evil Twins" in her band aren't actually twins. Or that evil.
Hanson, Powerstation, Sunday

Here are some fun facts about Hanson's world conquering 1997 hit single MMMbop: it knocked The Notorious BIG's Hypnotize off the top of the Billboard charts; it was produced by the Dust Brothers, who also worked on the Beastie Boys' iconic 1989 album Paul's Boutique; and it reached No. 1 in 27 countries -- including New Zealand. That catchy single will undoubtedly be the highlight of the Oklahoma brothers' first-ever New Zealand show in Auckland this weekend, where they'll also be playing tracks from their most recent album, Anthems. And, possibly, promoting their own range of beer. What's it called? "MMMHops". Of course it is.
