Bees

Bees are a fresh Indie Rock outfit hailing from Whakatū (Nelson), formed after local musicians met at a regional festival in 2024. Their sound delivers raw, guitar driven energy, punching drums and melodic hooks, rough around the edges, but full of youthful urgency and DIY style charm. Their early releases, including the single “Downtown”, showcase lo-fi textures, gritty rock rhythms and a restless, buzzy intensity that feels alive and immediate. Expect a live set from Bees to be direct, high-energy and authentic, a perfect fit if you like your rock with a bit of scruff, attitude and community-made spirit.

Come see Bees perform at the Rotunda Down Under Stage at 4:55pm FEB 8TH.
