Havoc and Newsboy's Sell-Out Tour - Gay Man's Rock
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1999
Irreverent 90s youth show hosts Mikey Havoc and Jeremy ‘Newsboy’ Wells hit the road in this hit series. Whilst heading into the deep south, they described Gore as the "gay capital of New Zealand". While many viewers had a laugh at the Auckland duo’s lampooning of small town conservatism, some took the bait — Havoc writes about the experience here. Unamused by Newsboy's "gay man’s Gore" label, many locals preferred to tout the town’s trout fishing, line-dancing and country music. The mischievous duo also visit Dunedin, Fox Glacier in the Southern Alps and Queenstown, where they meet base jumper Chuck Berry.
'Base jumping makes you horny' ... that's a good bumper sticker.– Havoc
