However, the band\u2019s momentum was curbed by Liz\u2019s departure for European adventures with Awkward Death playing a farewell show at Valhalla on April 24. Liz\u2019s return to Wellington in 2015 sparked an Awkward Death resurrection with the band playing a \u201csurprise\u201d show at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2024\/03\/ski-lodge\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12356\">Ski Lodge<\/a><\/strong> punk house on February 28.

After this, Nobs and Axel buggered off overseas, Liz was still itching for new musical outlets and had already assembled a new band, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/03\/ayn-randy\"
