Panhandlers peddle stories; both short & tall. Silver tongued wordsmith Callum Gentleman narrates whilst Joel Vinsen (prepared guitargh/pedals) soundscapes. Sort of like Sam Hunt getting high with Lewis Carroll & Brian Eno (with Fred Frith lurking outside and peeping through the window), Panhandlers blur the lines between theatre, poetry and music.
Kraus has been called a national treasure and one of the most quietly important and interesting people making music in New Zealand.
Low-res Sun Ra meets 80s video game electronics and swaggering trashcan drums; Kraus' music crosses the boundaries of electronic music, post-rock, no wave, space folk, noise pop, punk rock and martian stomp.
