Parallel Park

Parallel Park are a 5-piece indie pop/rock band. Having played 20+ gigs in the past year, highlights for the band include playing a sold out 'Growing Taller' album release gig in Nelson, performing as a guest band at the Rockquest national final, and opening for Kiwi legends The Beths. Their self-recorded and self-produced debut Album 'Growing Taller' was released in February 2024 and their EP 'Parallel Park Vol. 1' was released in December 2022.

Growing Taller album review: "Parallel Park are creating something very different, unique, and of incredible quality in terms of songwriting, performance, and production"... "To call it indie pop rock is like putting it into an existing box when it’s something unique that deserves to proudly stand alone"... "This is what the mainstream needs more of".

The band, playing together since intermediate school in 2017, comprises Zac Irving (Bass), Maisie Lucas (Drums), Florence McNabb (Vocals), Ethan Carde (Guitar), and Kahu Sanson-Burnett (Guitar, Keys, Production). All members contribute to songwriting and their music incorporates indie, rock, and pop influences.
