Tim
Armstrong Band
good old Kiwi Rock covers dance band Hamilton area
Tim Armstrong
Band Formed originally in 1988
the Tim Armstrong band had two resident positions in Auckland
and Hamilton Nightclub’s. They then went overseas to USA
and England to perform at various gig’s, calling themselves
the (kiwi bandits).
On returning to New Zealand in 1991 they were offered a position
playing on the ocean liner the Fairstar which they did for 6 month’s
travelling the Pacific Ocean.
For the past ten years the Tim Armstrong
band, often called TAB have performed at least twice a week to
different audience’s in New Zealand. They are also the resident
xmas group at Vilagrad wine’s.
Their style appeals to all people because
they play the songs to suit the (Kiwi)crowd they are performing
for. Especially with audience’s of all ages, they are mainly
renown for their expertise at private functions like weddings
, birthday parties, and conference’s.
The present line up arrived in 1997.
Tim Armstrong (guitar/Keys/lead Vocals)
from the Politician’s a kiwi band which released several
single’s and made numerous television appearance’s
in the mid 1980’s.
Alan Grady (Drums) ex Knightshade
who had several hit singles in New Zealand in the 1980s and early
90s and supported top overseas act‘s.
Don McClumpha (Bass) from various
Hamilton bands, Fury and Black Jack.
In 2001 the group ventured to England to
play at some prestige kiwi gigs in and around the London area.
These were well received by the audience!
Last year the band performed on television several times, once
on the good morning show, playing there own original “stormy
night” and Tim playing
a solo version of “Live again”.
Tim also does solo gig’s and
writes his own songs and TV commercial's and has recently
performed on the Good morning show with his Beatle’s
tribute band and singing his own original’s. He has
released 7 solo album’s in the past fourteen years.
Recently (2006)Tim has been overseas performing in England/croatia/United
