Crossroads Duo/Rocky Rhodes band

Welcome

“Crossroads Duo” is a compact, experienced and popular live guitar & keys duo, suitable for all occasions- weddings, private parties, corporate functions, restaurants, pubs and clubs. Mike and Jeff share lead vocals as they perform a wide variety of classic rock, dance and pop songs to suit all age groups, and are adept at creating the right music mix for your enjoyment. Custom backings create a full sound, and over 100 artists are covered with over 5 decades catered for- 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and now. 

“Rocky Rhodes Band” is a dynamic four piece completely live classic rock band (drums, bass, guitar & keys) featuring 4 vocalists. Suitable for any big occasion, Jeff, Mike, Greg and Nige are experienced in making your next event a memorable one. Very popular for weddings, clubs, pubs, corporate and live rock events, and reasonably priced, the full band specialises in a good percentage of kiwi classic rock as a point of difference. 

"Pineapple Lumps Show"- Rocky Rhodes has now developed a tribute night of kiwi rock where they will perform a whole night of Kiwi classics with a few Aussie hits thrown in, and does this under the name "The Pineapple Lumps Show".

Both line-ups are based in the Waikato district, but will travel to all points of the compass. Check out the information on the main 2 line-ups and the "PL show", plus other combinations on the "Band Options" page.

“No Exit Band”- Is another four piece live band, newly formed by Neil Pascoe (Thames) former guitarist/main vocalist frontman for Rocky Rhodes, with Mike on keys/vocs, Greg bass and vocs, plus Bevan (Tauranga) on drums.

This band gigs mainly at Mt Mellick bar in Mt Maunganui, but also Junction Hotel in Thames & Orchard Thieves in Katikati,  and has an enthusiastic following in TGA  with regular gigs once a month on either Friday or Saturday nights- 9.30 to 1 am!  Again classic rock with a slightly harder edge than Rocky Rhodes, this band doesn't do chartered clubs, preferring the pub atmosphere.

 “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Fire” is the local Huntly live band, consisting of Morgan Lewis (Gat/vocs), Mike on keys, Greg bass and Nigel drums. (Po backing up when needed)

This combo brings a younger approach to classic rock, with Morgan spearheading the group and choosing songs of his generation, also this is the lineup for the popular Electric Blues nights at Huntly RSA every 3rd Thursday night! Great for private gigs wanting a huge breadth of music!

News

Rockin' thru 2023! 

 

Current venues we often appear at are Hamilton Workers and Cossie Clubs,  Skycity Casino Vue Bar, Junction Hotel Thames, Mt Mellick Irish bar at the Mount, plus Huntly RSA.

We're also available for private events such as weddings, corporate events, birthdays and anniversaries. The main lineup is Mike & Jeff in the duo, then Greg and Po, Nige or Ronnie to fill out the 4 pce.

Neil Pascoe on guitar and vocs is available to play odd dates where Jeff is unavailable, while Nige, Po and Ronnie are available for drums. We also have back up bass players so are usually able to field a band no matter what happens!

Since 2010 the duo and band combos have performed in a staggering total of over 90 individual locations- we're always keen to travel within reason!

Our "Pineapple Lumps" Kiwi/Oz show (70's and 80's) was great fun to put together, and we've used the new songs extensively in our normal nights and also did another full Kiwiana night privately. Andrew Brown has put together a demo track from our first Huntly intro gig which is online now in our Options page!

Many thanks to our supporters Pete, Vicki, Alex and Lorraine for their presence and latest pics!

With our latest P.A. purchase we now have a very sleek, compact Bose system for both line-ups, not only quick to set up, but takes less room.

We now have 2 new additional live band lineups, No Exit band and Rock-Paper-Scissors-Fire! Check them out on our website.
