First Reserve, Dropper & Elly Mae

First Reserve live at San Fran, Wellington on Sat, Oct 4, 8:00 PM. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.

Get ready for another memorable night out as First Reserve & Dropper share the bill with rising star Elly Mae. This will be an evening to feast your ears on a diverse soundscape of angular guitars, melodic goodness, and glorious noise.Here’s the lo-down:First Reserve is inevitable. Before adopting the moniker in 2023, Ryan Connaghan had been prolifically writing music that communicated their experiences in life, love, and loneliness. These themes are all approached on songs like “Last One” and “Me & My Friends” – the first offerings from First Reserve’s debut EP set for release in late 2025. On stage, their sound is both intimate and larger-than-life, combining influences from alt-rock, indie-folk, and pop.Dropper combines intuitive songwriting sensibilities with wall-of-sound, guitar.  Blending noise and melody, Dropper is dynamic, song-centred, high-energy indie rock. Often compared to Bob Mould’s work with Hüsker Dü or Lou Barlow's early Sebadoh, they’ve been described by one review…Elly Mae's music encapsulates the bittersweet complexities of growth, relationships, time escaping, and the nostalgia embedded within. Her music is an amalgamation of folk, dreampop, shoegaze and whatnot.Grab your general release tickets online for just $15!
