Toody has returned to Aotearoa to play music from the catalogue of the infamous garage-rock pioneers Dead Moon and Pierced Arrows. Toody played bass and sung in both bands alongside her husband Fred Cole, who passed away in 2017. This time around, Toody's band is comprised of Pierced Arrows bandmate Kelly Haliburton, as well as Kelly's bandmate, Christopher March, from Jenny Don't & The Spurs. Toody plays Tāmaki tonight before heading across the country and then making a final stop back at Galatos for The Others Way 2025. Whakarongo mai nei!
