2021-06-03 20:00 - 2021-06-04 01:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Ngaio Marsh Theatre – Haere-roa, Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand

(We definitely didn’t double book the show or anything)
Featuring:
Molly and the Chromatics
Frank Booker
0800
No Comply
w/ Support from SUG

Molly & the Chromatics
Molly & The Chromatics have developed their jazz/funk/pop fusion sound via extensive touring and slots at festivals including Rhythm & Vines, Bay Dreams, Soundsplash, Outfield Festival, Le Currents and Tora Bombora.
Don’t miss Molly & The Chromatics’ exciting, dynamic and enchanting stage presence at Mono Night!
Frank Booker
Frank Booker has quietly built a worldwide reputation for incredible edits and DJ sets. His releases have gained huge support from heavy hitting Disco and Deep House DJs such as Horse Meat Disco, Todd Terje, Rahaan, Detroit Swindle, Session Victim, Red Greg, Jimpster, DJ Nature and many more.
When DJing his music spans a wide array of quality Black dance music: From deepest Disco, to 80’s boogie and cutting edge house music, as well as some super special re-edits all put together with a focus firmly on the dancers. Keep on!
0800
Auckland hip-hop collective 0800 formed when a group of rappers, producers and visual artists came together one late night in the studio. This quickly turned into the group releasing a dynamic string of singles and eye catching videos over the next two years. The group bonded over their mutual love for the alternative hip hop scene, but also each brought in their own unique tastes from other styles, creating a sound that is genre-defying and refreshingly different.
No Comply
New Zealand rapper/producer duo, NO COMPLY take their music seriously, but themselves, not so much. Their music is bold and considered, yet they infuse a playful and melodic take on the rapidly changing, forever evolving, genre we know and love as hip hop
The MONO specific stuff:
– Mono is R18 – Bring your Passport, 18+ card or NZ Drivers licence.

MILLBROOK (Luxembourg)
DAN AUX (George FM)Saturday 17 July
Ngaio Marsh Theatre
8PM – 1AM
+ Support TBA
__________________________
Michel Losch, aka Millbrook, embodies what it means to be an artist in the modern day, with the Berlin based producer taking influence from the wider European drum & bass scene to carve a unique path for himself.
With an impressive amount of support and airtime from the likes of Andy C, Friction, Noisia, DJ Hype, Camo & Krooked, High Contrast and Glitch Mob already under his belt, Millbrook is now ready to elevate his sound to the next level.
From releasing on Viper, Ram Records, Spearhead and Elevate, his ascent has been a quick one, handpicked by their esteemed label heads.
Millbrook’s repertoire has exploded over recent years, as the Luxembourg native laid the foundations of his rise within his hometown, where he went from playing to only a handful of friends to finding himself on the line up regularly at world class venues like London’s seminal club Fabric, becoming a household name for drum & bass fans across Europe.

UCSA RE-ORI 2021 | V Pure: Tunes in The Arvo

UCSA RE-ORI 2021 | The Chats
2021-07-23 20:00 - 23:59 | Ngaio Marsh Theatre – Haere-roa, Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand
Formed in their mate’s bong shed in Coolum, Queensland 2016 at age seventeen, The Chats represent everything that’s good about Australia and nothing that’s bad: a rebel spirit, gallows humour and the endless hedonistic pursuit of A Bloody Good Time. Cold stubbies within close reach, 24-7.
The Chats describe themselves as “dropkick drongos from the Sunshine Coast of Australia”. It’d be difficult to argue otherwise.
Their dress-down image of mullets, shorts, sports tops, thongs or a sandals-and-socks combo, and cheap sunnies celebrates this fact. But don’t by mislead: The Chats are sharper than you think, and they write killer songs that hold their own in any era.
But where their forefathers cut their teeth on the spit-and-sawdust circuit of beer halls Down Under, The Chats bypassed years driving down dusty Outback roads when the lead single ‘Smoko’ became a 24-carat bona fide viral hit on Youtube. The Chats found themselves propelled from their Queensland shed to almost overnight renown in all the right circles.
More music followed: single ‘Do What I Want’ (“about doing whatever the fuck you want”) and the glorious follow-up ‘Pub Feed’ (a paean to “above average” pub food, including “chicken schnitty”, “parmigiana” and “rump steak – well done”) in 2019, a song that seems destined to take up residence in punk jukeboxes the world over. The Chats document the simple things in life, with songs that transcends language to tap straight into the youthful energy source. It’s a tricky artform that many attempt but at which few succeed. Still in their teens, The Chats have mastered it.
Mozart began composing at the age of four, but these boys were born singing anthems, and their debut album seems destined to be the greatest collection of music ever made, not only in Coolum, Queensland, but the entire universe. Every other musician should probably give up today.
Coming out of Sumner, New Zealand is a unique 5 piece indie alternative rock band, The Butlers. The band consists of, mystery masked man stingy hooligan on the sax and keys. George Berèt with the silky vocals and delicious drums. Jordan Kennedy steering the ship with the bass and dotting that cherry on top with his vocals. Bradley Mervin King melting popsicles with the heat radiating out of his guitar. Finally, Walt Robot running the plays as the fruitful frontman.
The band has spent the last three years touring New Zealand and internationally and are showing no signs of slowing down as tours continue to sell out.

Doof – the colloquial term for drum and bass used by students.

Tips from UC Careers: How to make the most of the UC Volunteering Expo from a careers perspective
Benefits of volunteering
Make the most of the UC Volunteering Expo by finding out about the vast array of volunteer opportunities that exist. There are numerous benefits to volunteer work, from both a wellbeing and a careers perspective. These include the opportunity to:

focus on something positive, helping, contributing and influencing your community by supporting a cause or organisation important to you.
learn more about yourself: who you are and what is important to you.
get work experience in your future work interest area, or an entirely new field. It can help you find out what you want to do.
build your professional networks which may prove valuable for you in your search for future paid work.
apply and enhance the skills and knowledge you’ve gained from University in ‘real life,’ as well as gain new skills and knowledge.
increase your confidence in a work setting which will assist you transition from University into your future career.
connect with other people from all walks of life and be part of a team environment.
show future employers that you are someone who actively contributes to the community and are open to broadening your horizons.
get a current reference to attest to your work ethic, skills and attributes.

Before attending the Volunteering Expo

Come prepared. Check out the list of exhibitors a few days before the event.
Identify some organisations that appeal to you and do some research on them: who they are, what they do, where they operate from, their values, vision and mission.

When evaluating which is the right volunteering position for you, think about these four key questions:

Does it align with my interests and values?
How can it help me develop my career?
What is the organisations reputation?
How much time can I commit to it?

Think about the skills and knowledge you have to offer and how you would like to contribute to an organisation.
Think about the types of questions you would like to ask. For example:

What type of volunteer roles do they have?
What skills/attributes do they look for when taking on a volunteer?
Where are they located?
How do they support their volunteers?
What type of training will you receive and how long does it take?
What time commitment would you be looking at?

At the Volunteering Expo

Dress appropriately. Smart casual is recommended.
Allow yourself enough time. When it is less crowded exhibitors will be more relaxed to take their time in answering all your questions.
Prioritise the exhibitors you are most interested in. Keep in mind you may have to wait to speak to some exhibitors.
Think of how you are going to introduce yourself. It could be as easy as stating your name and your year/field of study. This would be the time to show how you have done your research also with the questions you have prepared.
Take any promotional material they may have to offer.
If you are particularly interested in an organisation, ask for the business card of the person that you have spoken to.

After the Volunteering Expo

Review your CV and cover letter. Think about how you can effectively communicate your skills and experience to a volunteer organisation you are interested in
Practice your interview skills
Create and update your LinkedIn profile
Consider other ways you can get involved in University life to build up the range of experiences you can offer an employer.

2021-07-28 18:00 - 2021-07-29 01:00 | Haere-roa
CUBA is back and hitting Sem 2 hard, JIB the Foundry is here ready to put your well-intentioned Re-O study plans to rest!
The meteorologists are predicting 90-square-metres of fresh pow in the Haere-Roa region on the 28th of July with a possible postponement date of the 30th just in case they get it wrong again.
The finest skiers and snowboarders will be throwing themselves down the ramp for bragging rights, prizes, and your delight. All the while we will have the decks spinning via the Red Bull truck.
As always this is followed by the annual stinker of an after-party with line-up details to be announced soon!
We have put our collective brain cells together to come up with the ground-breaking and revolutionary theme of Retro ski! So bust out the garish colours and gaudy patterns to get sweaty in yesteryears hottest fits.
Tickets are $25 members and $30 non-members. Keep your eyes peeled and facing forward for JIB early birds, or you can find them conveniently bundled up in the USCA Re-O packages.
