The Māori Sidesteps to tread boards in Rotorua

The Māori Sidesteps.

Rotorua is in line for a visit by a diverting showband.

The Māori Sidesteps, described as a 'crooning showband goodness and satirical skit mayhem”, are scheduled to play at five venues – Rotorua, Hamilton, Whanganui, Otaki, and Carterton from June 4 to June 29.

The group of four male entertainers will introduce their tour in Rotorua on June 4 and June 5 at the Rotorua Energy Events Centre.

Advance publicity says audiences are in for a night of 'lively hilarity”.

The Māori Sidesteps offer a fresh take and political spin on some old familiar party tunes and new and original, foot stomping music.

The group plays soulful harmonies allied to a stand-up comedy routine.

One review says: 'With mischief written all over their faces... they sing with both gusto and finesse”.

The band stars some of New Zealand's best entertainers with recent form.

It comprises Jamie McCaskill (Shortland Street, Takes a Village), Cohen Holloway (Fresh Eggs, Hunt for the Wilderpeople), Regan Taylor (Mahana) and Erroll Anderson (Ghost in the Shell).

The group is programmes to deliver a fresh and enlightening perspective of the evolution of the Māori Showband.
