Borderline at Speakeasy Kabaret

8:00pm – 8:40pm CT

Speakeasy Kabaret

Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland)-based guitar pop group Borderline have been generating significant momentum in New Zealand and Australia, firmly positioning them as ones to watch.

The band, comprising Ben Glanfield (vocals, guitar), Matthew McFadden (guitar), Jackson Boswell (drums, vocals), and Max Harries (bass), have known each other since childhood. Together, they have grown a natural chemistry as friends and musicians.

Their music features bright guitars, synth lines, and swirling chorus hooks that create a unique and incredibly catchy blend of indie pop and rock, resulting in a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
