FAN CLUB
Get tickets
Join Fan Club in celebrating the release of their new single "...was it Us" at an ALL-AGES show at Big Fan in Morningside, Auckland Sunday 12 March. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Supporting the line-up is indie band Parkdale, who have just come off their successful "Abandoned Pool Gig". For those who couldn't get tickets for that gig can see them, along with The Dawns- a tight band with killer sounds, at our show that kicks off the school year.
Fan Club (formerly known as No Smoking After 3:15) is a pop-rock indie band from Auckland. Emma (15), Caleb (17), Tilly (15) and Tom (17) mash-up pop/rock/indie elements into a unique blend of high-energy beats, dynamic structures, driving lyrics and sick guitar riffs.
Lead singer Emma Wagner (15) is a founding member of what was once an all-girl cover band back in 2021. After rock-lover and jazz guitarist Caleb Young (17) and fellow Lynfield College bassist Tilly Wells (15) joined in 2022, they started writing their own material. Drummer Thomas Christie joined the band at the end of 2022 after Maggie (another founding member) moved out of Auckland. Their song Never Ever was a finalist in the Youthtown Play it Strange Songwriting Competition (2022) and was recorded professionally at Parachute Studios. It was quickly accepted by NZ On Air’s September New Tracks compilation. It now has over 5500 streams on Spotify and captured the attention of filmmaker Sam Goodey, who directed the music video
Fan Club enjoys playing live regularly at venues across Auckland. They won the Audience Choice award at the Raise-Up’s New Found Sound finals in 2022 at TAPAC. They are thrilled to be headlining at Big Fan.
