The New Variants

The New Variants! are back by outrageous public demand !! with 'Guest' musician 'Joe90' on stupefying Saxaphone.

The New Variants! comprise of long-time 'Taihape Musicians Club' members Fred & Cyn Hammer who have played in many bands and lineups over the years, entertaining crowds in and around the Rangitikei region and beyond! ; With Richard Aslett, who appeared at the final of the latest New Zealand's Got Talent and was also seen on both the last NZ X-Factor and the more recent Popstars TV programmes, PLUS, the band is joined in more recent times by 'Rangatua Rocker' Mike Bly who has jammed his way up and down the North Island, playing his exquisite lead and rhythm Guitar to many wild and crazy fans.

Playing an eclectic mix of mainly cover songs (at this stage!) they have a huge selection of tunes to please all ears, from the 50's right up to today, with quiet duets, poppy dance numbers, four-voice harmonies, to out and out rocking good tracks!
