Roadies

About Me

Bonnie Hurunui and Joe Teinekore formed Roadies in May of 2006 after discovering each others musical passions (without intimate touching) whilst working together. Bonnie and Joe started frequenting open mic nights around Auckland, New Zealand, in bars like Diablos, Dogs Bollix, The Grand, and Park Bar. They are always followed closely behind by their namesakes and BYO fans (the original "Roadies"): Little, Lele and Jado. With originals from Bonnie's 6 years of serious song writing, and Joe's uncountable years of drumming and percussion, you know it's gotta be COOLIO!
