I have a 14 year old daughter who is obsessed with music (obviously nothing unusual there!). Her current favourite is Kiwi all-girl group Ivy Lies, who are originally from Christchurch, have a couple of songs playing on the radio at the moment and a recently-wrapped album soon to be released. She jumps at any opportunity to see them live, but the opportunities don’t come around as often as she’d like because for most local groups the pub circuit is where it’s at, and as a responsible mother (which I am, honest) I’m hardly going to let her hang out in pubs.

Luckily for 14 Year Old Daughter Ivy Lies are supporting Dane Rumble (whose debut album The Experiment is doing quite well by all accounts) in an all ages gig at Pukekohe Town Hall on May 15 from 5pm. Specifically focussed on the under-18′s there will be no alcohol at the gig and apparently parents are welcome too so I’m hoping she invites me because I’m quite partial to Ivy Lies too!

Tickets to the Dane Rumble / Ivy Lies all ages gig are available from iTicket.
