About






At 20 years BODEGA is New Zealand’s OLDEST live music venue, operating under the same name, and like a fine wine, we have matured with the years. We are constantly evolving. Don’t think of us just for gigs: think of us as somewhere to come and relax, slip into the vibe, enjoy the sounds and the specials after work…….

We are celebrating throughout 2011 and will be bringing you the best  in International and National acts. Mo (Murray Hepple, our redoubtable owner) will henceforth be managing all of the bookings himself, bringing his experience and expertise to bear, gleaned over 25 years of touring with the best, throughout the world. We want to capitalise on that experience and have already started 2011 with a bang!…

 

Acts that have graced our stage:

  • The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
  • The Greenhornes ,
  • Amanda Palmer (a.k.a. Amanda Fucking Palmer, of the Dresden Dolls)
  • The Melvins
  • Birds of Tokyo
  • DOA have already graced our stage and loved every minute of it, vowing to return
  • Michelle Shocked
  • Donavon Frankenreiter
  • The Eternal
  • Against Me
  • Justin Townes Earle
  • Minuit
  • Cairo Knife Fight

…just to name but a few

 

“If you are a true live music aficionado,
then Bodega is your ultimate babe –
the intimacy of a club but with incomparable sound and a magical vibe –
it was by far the best gig of the tour”

… and that’s just what the artists say.
