Nagas
Nagas was a punk/metal band based in Dunedin, New Zealand. The band consisted of:
- Aaron Bowie - Vocals
- Dave Flyger - Bass
- Brin More - Drums
- Nick Hanky - Guitar
- Paul Raine - Keyboard and Guitar
Nagas Formed in mid 2003 to compete for the Dunedin Battle of the Bands. Despite forming only two weeks before their first performance at the Battle Of The Bands, Nagas came top in their heat and third in the finals, with a stunning onstage presence and with a mix of Rock, Ska, Metal and Grunge. Songs such as "Little Chuck" and "Third Degree Burns" were big winners with Dunedin audiences as were covers of the theme for "Ghostbusters" and "Monster Mash".
Nagas went on to become one of the top acts in the Dunedin music scene during 2003 and 2004, performing with bands such as The Gladeyes, "El Shlong" (http://homepages.inspire.net.nz/~murphinator/biography.html), Gestalt Switch and opening for Alien Ant Farm during their University Orientation 2004 concert.
During the Summer of 2003-2004, Nagas went on a nation wide tour with The Gladeyes, covering most of the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Reception for the band on a national scale was great, with a gig in New Plymouth being especially well received.
