The Tuesdays were an Auckland rock n roll four piece, who had been together since 2002. A mix of hard rock, pop and jazzy guitars with two boys, and two girls (just to keep a nice balance). Chantel Wilson (on vocals & guitar), and Maria Griffith (Bass), had been playing in bands together since they were at high school. They found Gareth Scott (on Drums & vocals) after reading his "drummer looking for band" ad in the trade & exchange, only to have him answer their "band looking for drummer" advert in the same issue. He later admitted he only answered the ad because he thought he "might get lucky" with two chicks in the band..... boy was he wrong. 3 members down, but The Tuesdays needed one more to complete the line-up, thus the permanent loan of Mike Rakich (blazing lead guitar) from another Auckland band. After numerous gigs around Auckland NZ, they received an NZ On Air New recording grant in December 2003. Not long after that, their debut single "A Song For You" hit the airwaves, receiving a huge amount of airplay, followed up later in the year with their second single "The Other Way", with both songs making consecutive NZOA Indie Hit Discs.IN 2005 the band released a 3rd single Every time which spent over 2 months on the 95bfm top 10. The bands debut video for Every time was released to broadcast in Sept 05.In January 2007 the Tuesdays secured a slot on the local produce stage at the big day out. Shortly after they released their second video for their fourth single, never again. Late in February the band decided to call it a day, but had one last date to play.The Tuesdays played there last ever show at the Dogs Bollix on may 25th 2007. They also released a limited edition 12 track album called the Last Dance to celebrate the previous five years.
