In the rolling hills of Waitakere, west of Auckland, New Zealand, a unique musical partnership…

The sound of slot machines chiming, dice rolling across felt tables, and cards being shuffled…

For New Zealand alt-country duo The Bads Brett Adams and Dianne Swann the road has been as unpredictable as a spin of Le Bandit Hacksaw, filled with extraordinary highs, crushing lows, and the kind of stories that make for legendary touring tales.

There's something magical about combining the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll with the high-flying thrills of Flight Legends and the rush of casino games.

When the cards are dealt and the chips are down, the right soundtrack can make or break your casino night experience just like the unpredictable magic of the Tome of Madness.
