A band called The Doors Live will recreate the legendary band of vocalist Jim Morrison at Parāoa Brewing Co in Whangaparāoa on June 1, as part of its Backdoor NZ tour.
The setlist for the 2.5 hour gig includes Light my Fire, Break on Through, Riders on the Storm, People are Strange, LA Woman and more.
The band is made up of professional session musicians from the UK and Europe, who decided to form the group after continually bumping into each other at recording studios and becoming friends.
On vocals is ‘Jim M’, who is also a composer. Born in Florida, he spent many years living in the UK. The mysterious ‘H’ is on guitar, Ben Hagar of Sweden is the bass player and Aaron Gott, who has home bases in the UK and NZ, is on keys. Frankie Mac, who is also the group’s promoter, is the drummer. Born in Scotland, he has lived in NZ since 2011.
Frankie says the band is treating the tour as “a working holiday” and that more NZ gigs are planned later in the year.
The Doors Live gig is at Parāoa Brewing Co, Whangaparāoa on Saturday, June 1. Tickets from Eventfinda.
