Bio

Indie Rock Pop up-and-comers Coast Arcade have made quite an impact in their breakout year; opening for Aussie legends Bootleg Rascals and The Grogans as well as Kiwi icons The Beths and Princess Chelsea. 2022 saw them secure a spot on the Spring City festival line-up alongside huge international acts Groove Armada, Zane Lowe, and Ladyhawke as well as the iconic Rhythm and Vines festival line-up. They also released their infectious debut single, Tattoo, which reached no.11 on the Official Hot NZ Singles chart and was playlisted on MTV Upload.

Formed in high school in early 2021, Coast Arcade are fast becoming regulars in New Zealand's music scene. The band plays to a strong following at many of Tamaki Makaurau's most iconic live music venues.

Coast Arcade describe their sound as Indie Pop Rock with twists of Surf and Punk. This combination of genres crafts their energetic and fun summer sound. Bella Bavin (Rafflyn) fronts the band with strong kiwi vocals and cheeky lead guitar. Brothers Chris and Nate Tims follow with tasty riffs and an energetic dynamic on Rhythm Guitar and Bass, respectively. Thom Boynton pulls it together with his driving drums and punk-infused backing vocals.

The future's looking good for Coast Arcade; with many local shows under their belt and a solid fan base getting behind them, they have built up an energetic performance filled with fun, vibrant melodies.
