Was my first time at this venue. Awesome place as you can get so close to the act. Unfortunately the wall of noise which greeted you was so overpowering you could not make out the vocals. I would definately go see Airbourne again. They put on one hell of a show but they deserve a bigger venue unless they sort out the volume. My ear is still giving me problems three weeks later!

I can't believe how much energy they have, and watching the lead singer skulling booze, and also smashing cans on his forehead, mad. Loved it.
The sound was far too loud for the first couple of songs, could not even hear the singing, after the sound was adjusted, brilliant. Very very good to hear them live.

The gig was packed and Airbourne showed us what they had become, a world class rock'n'roll band. If Wellington was any kind of indicator of the following these guys have around the world then I have to think that these guys are destined to be huge.
Refreshing. I hope they come back soon!

These guys are nuts! Really enjoyed their energy on stage but unfortunately the sound was not mixed well and it was really hard to hear the vocals. We were left with our ears ringing and mixed feelings about the night.

Opening act(s): The opening act were rather disapointing to be honest, singer had good voice and crowd interaction but the band as a whole were lifeless and in my eyes, their genere of music did not really match that of airbourne @

Airbourne had kiwi fans by the heart long before their home land of Australia, Kiwis long for proper, no holds bared rock and roll and Airbourne play just that.

The Powerstation's Walls shaked with the raw rock power these boys produce, if high eneregy is what you were wanting then that gig would not have disapointed! Joel's Climbing antics were at play again as he scaled the speakers and made his way up to the 2nd floor to belt out a primo solo

One of the greatest live bands in the world, And they are going to do it all over again at BDO 2011 BRING IT ON BABY!

The first thing that must be said about the show at Bodega, is how tiny the venue was for the band. Which was in this case totally fantastic, unless you were short, then you probably had a hard time seeing anything. Crammed into the dark alley like a pack of Kiwi Sardines, the audience filled the tiny Venue. After a unmemorable opening act, Airbourne hit the stage, right around everyone was happily inebriated.

If you were at the furthest back of the show, you were still probably closer than you'd ever get to the band at a modern arena show. If you were in the front row, well like one unruly fan you were probably touching the band or on stage with them. All of this reminds me of rock shows I'd go to in small clubs in my glory days. Cramming into a tiny club, pushing it's capacity to double, until the band gets on stage long enough before the coppers turn it down for noise pollution. There were no coppers, this night, as I'm sure Airborne and Bodega had appropriate permits. But the feeling was the same.

Regardless of how you label Airbourne, you can't dismiss the fact they they are the most energetic band playing today. The constant bashing beer cans till they explode, running through the crowd to play a guitar solo on top of the bar in the back of the venue, everything was phenomenal and full of energy. It truly was a show that brings you back to the glory days of Rock n' roll.

In a town that is filled with indie artsy hubbub, it's nice to see a real rock band, and a whole lot of fans to yell scream and bounce off the walls with horns in the air. The stench of spilt beer, cheap weed, and sweat all culminating to the ultimate flashback of my younger days.

The band was all you would expect from good classic rock, they were loud fast and furious, Bedord is a great venue but these guys are now worthy of larger status to get that noise out it was bursting at the seams in there!!! They did a good mix of both albums, some great entertainment good stage action the crowd went wild!!!

Any earthquake never stood a chance as these guys brought the house down yet again.....

It was obvious from theouset what you were infor when the noise altered the eardums, the energy on stage was comparable only to Angus Young, absloutely not dull and was made even better by being in a small venue

Seen lots of Rock acts over the years, but for pure effort and 100% action, these Aussie boys are hard to beat, and their live set is not too bad neither !!

They have been likened to AC/DC, well that ainn't no bad thing as Angus and co have been entertaining audiences for over 30 years. I wouldn't say the Airbourne have taken the AC/DC crown, but it is only a matter of time and they will. Personally, I think there is a lot more to Airbourne than just an AC/DC soundalike, they do have their own raw edge, and there is a lot more metal influences in their sound then you might think.

For me and my missus, this was a gig worth going to, and we hope to see them back in Wellington sometime soon.

Airbourne rocked Bar Bodega on Friday! I had seen them there once before, and they lived up to their reputation again. Was really loud - there was a wall of speakers (as usual with Airbourne) and everyone was rocking out in the mosh pit. Best part for me was when they asked for people to go up on people's shoulders cos I got lifted up :)
