Toody Cole, and her late husband Fred, made a name for themselves in America's punk-rock scene in the eighties and nineties in cult classic band, Dead Moon.
Now age 76, Toody has not given up the punk rock life: she is still touring, playing bass and vocals, and shows no sign of stopping.
She's coming to Auckland for The Other's Way, a one-day music festival taking over stages and venues across Karangahape Road.
Emile Donovan speaks to Toody from her home in Portland, Oregon.
Toody's tour dates:
- Tuesday 25 November - Whammy Bar, Auckland
- Wednesday 26 November - Valhalla, Wellington
- Thursday 27 November - Space Academy, Christchurch
- Friday 28 November - Harbour View Hotel, Raglan
- Saturday 29 November - The Others Way, Auckland
