AD/BC are an exciting young 6 piece band from Ponsonby who clearly have fun with their music.

Their mission is “To save Rock ‘n roll and get it back into schools.” They are reuniting after their reunion Summer Tour to play at the Little Day Out.

The band members are on vocals: Moira Jones, Guitars: Miller Christensen-Yule (son of producer/engineer Phil Yule) & Louis McGlashan (son of Don McGlashan), Keys: Adam Fuhr, Drums: Thomas Alexander and on Bass: Chris Tan.

The core of the band were in the “Fluffy Pumpkins” at Ponsonby Intermediate in 2004. They did a very successful “World Tour of Ponsonby Primary Schools” and now that they are High School students; have reformed twice..to do it all again with the last tour being in 2007.

AD/BC” aim to take the “hip” out of Hip Hop and put it back into Rock. Be at the LDO on April 5 to enjoy the fun.
