"What a fabulous night we had at the Mangawhai Club dinner and Gee Bees Show. This Bee Gees tribute band has it down pat and are brilliant. The costumes, lighting effects, choreography etc. are fantastic and the singing is so good that if you closed your eyes you would swear it really was the Bee Gees. I loved that everyone spontaneously felt compelled to get up and boogie and looked as though they were having a thoroughly enjoyable time. I have been to a previous Gee Bees gig and the consistent high standard is right up there, if not better! Go the Gee Bees and thanks for a great night's entertainment!" -

Introducing The ZZ Top Tribute Show NZ Top
The tribute show runs for 2 hours with a 20 minute break between sets. A total of 18 songs including Gimme all your Lovin,Tush,Sharp Dressed Man and La Grange are covered, as well as the 80’s disco dance songs Legs and Viva Las Vegas .The band also offers a third set of classic rock dance music when required.

NZ Top fits well into the Kiwi culture with it’s love for classic cars and hotrods.Ladies love to dance, men let loose playing air guitar - rekindling memories of their younger days ….or they just sit back,relax and enjoy the music. Some even dress up for a prize or two !

NZ TOP is New Zealand’s very own ZZ TOP Tribute Band.Complete with beards, hats and cheap sunglasses, this 3 piece band will rock your socks and whiskers off! These talented musicians have taken great pride and joy to reproduce ZZ TOP’s iconic sound with an authentic look.This show provides great entertainment for raceways, parties, reunions, clubs, pubs, promotions, corporate functions, shows and outdoor festivals.

The concept of a ZZ Top Tribute show came about when 3 experienced musos (all mid 50’s) met at the Hamilton Blues Club. In place of only jamming the blues, they reawakened their love for 70’s /80’s rock music by paying tribute to Billy Gibbons and his band ZZ Top.

The driving blues rock inspires the players and the advantage of being able to hide their wrinkles and thinning hair behind wigs,beards and sunglasses is a bonus. The result being a tight- professional unit which does justice to the music and is visually appealing to both the young and the not so young.
Introducing The Very Best of the Eagles"Take it to the Limit" The NZ Eagles Tribute Show
Introducing Space Oddity.The Ultimate David Bowie Experience
David Brighton's tribute to rock and roll's most electrifying superstar, the Legendary David Bowie!
David Brighton is credited as being the world's best David Bowie impersonator, with one of the most entertaining tribute acts ever to hit the stage.

"David Brighton has the voice, moves and look to actually step in for David Bowie if he were unavailable and few would ever know. Experiencing David Brighton's Tribute to David Bowie made for a truly remarkable evening…" says Harry Maslin, the Producer of David Bowie's YOUNG AMERICANS and STATION TO STATION Albums.

Brighton's credits include performing side by side with David Bowie himself in the TV commercials for Vittel Mineral Water and for Reality - Bowie's CD. The career spanning ads, in which Brighton portrays many of Bowie's most legendary personas, have been airing in the United States, Great Britain and throughout Europe. Brighton also appeared as David Bowie on VH-1 television as well as in international pop star Shakira's concert video...

Brighton has been performing live concerts and making radio and television appearances worldwide as a celebrity look-alike/sound-alike since 1994. He's performed on bills with some of the biggest acts the world has known - including: Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Devo, Kenny Loggins, Three Dog Night, Little Richard and Barry Manilow. From the Superdome in New Orleans with bands like Chicago and KC & the Sunshine Band, to stadiums, arenas, concert halls, theaters, casinos, cruises, festivals, fairs, conventions, private functions and corporate events… touring extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados and Puerto Rico…

David has performed for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver… Brooke Shields, Dustin Hoffman, Martina McBride, Sylvester Stallone, Jay Leno, David Foster, Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas, Barbara Streisand, Quincy Jones, Lisa Marie Presley and Nicholas Cage... To name a few...

This unforgettable stage production is complete with flamboyant costume changes, elaborate staging, perfectly emulated vocal stylings and one of the best all-star backing bands in the business. All of the many faces David Bowie are present… from stadium-sized pop phenomenon, to space-age rock and roll alien Ziggy Stardust… and so is the excitement and electricity…

"David Brighton's charisma keeps the audience mesmerized and his vocals are flawless… His likeness to Bowie is eerie… The crowd actually gasped in amazement as he took the stage... You wondered if it wasn't really Bowie himself… Everyone was leaving their seats and kicking up their platform heels to the sounds of chart-topping hits like Fame, China Girl, Let's Dance and Modern Love… What (Brighton and band) give is nothing short of the opportunity to go back in time…" - The LA Review

Before entering the world of celebrity impersonation, David played lead guitar with a number of popular recording artists. His stint as a sideman began with a phone call from Kevin Dubrow from Quiet Riot. Dubrow tapped David to replace the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads. In addition to his live work, David’s versatility as a session player can be heard on numerous artists’ albums, movie soundtracks and commercial jingles.

David also enjoyed the hysteria that went along with portraying George Harrison worldwide with a number of the world's top Beatle groups, Including: The Stars of Beatlemania, The Fab Four, 1964 (The Tribute), Beatlemania Live, Twist And Shout, Classical Mystery Tour, Rain, and When We Were Fab.

Band Members



Jesse Wilde Vocals and Guitar

Born to an East Auckland family, Jesse Wilde started playing the guitar at age eleven after watching a TV rerun of the Elvis '68 Comeback Special. Jesse played in a couple of garage bands as a kid, before working in the Construction Industry for a brief stint. At 19 he quit this job to gig and record with his first serious successful band, Acoustic Attitude before going on to record his first solo project when the band ended after 3 years. Jesse then embarked on a music-inspired pilgrimage of the United States where he met his three music heroes; John Mellencamp, Bob Seger and Steve Earle. Upon his return to New Zealand, Jesse started recording his second solo project with a new band while also studying for a New Zealand Certificate in Contemporary Music Performance Art. At the same time, he got signed to what turned out to be a frustrating record label deal, compelling him to build his own recording studio. Jesse now works from his second recording studio, a 1955 Inner- City ex Clothing Factory  that he and his partner Cath have transformed into the world class Wilde Records/Studio 38 in the heart of Auckland City. Jesse's current band Wilde  is an Americana Rock Trio he formed with Earl Robertson. Jesse has recorded over ten albums in his career so far and he regularly performs gigs around New Zealand.

He was frontman for covers band Contagious for twelve years, and was also in the duo Granduo with Andy, resident at both Deep Creek and Grand Central. Now Gray has the opportunity to indulge his life-long passion for Neil Young's music, playing acoustic guitar and harmonica, and dabbling in a bit of flute.
