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.

The concept of a ZZ Top Tribute show came about when 3 experienced musos' met at the Hamilton Blues Club and reawakened their love for 70’s /80’s music by paying tribute to Billy Gibbons and his band ZZ Top.

The driving blues rock inspires the players and the result is a tight- professional unit which does justice to the music and is visually appealing to both the young and the not so young.

The tribute show runs for 2 hours with a 15 minute break between sets. Songs like 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. There’s also a few great rock n roll and country songs!

The band then does a third set of classic rock dance music for a total of 3 hours of awesome entertainment!

NZ Top is not just a tribute band! They are also a party band which fits well into the Kiwi culture with its 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 to be a real part of the action? Let’s boogie!
