As the guy behind thebigcity.co.nz, Chris Andrews is a common site at Christchurch gigs, taking photo's and keeping a look out for new and exciting bands.

Chris has also played bass and drums in a variety of popular (and not so popular) Christchurch bands including O'Lovely, Pop Hits City, Palace of Wisdom and the Lonely Harris Club, and was a DJ on Christchurch's RDU radio station, fronting the 'Sheep Technique' New Zealand music show for several years.
