Spank invites… Yossarian from the UK.
This is the one we have all been waiting for and what an event to finish off the year. Yossarian have been travelling the world to promote their unique sound and we have been lucky enough to have them here in Carterton at Heart of Arts.
Yossarian are an eclectic mix of influences hailing from England (singer Ash Spencer), Wales (drummer Morgan Griffiths), Germany (bassist Sam Vanderpol) and Argentina (guitarist Joaquin Rodriguez San Pedro). Inspired by Brooklynbased bands such as The National and Grizzly Bear, Yossarian blend post-rock sensibilities with a quixotic sentiment. Lead singer Ash Spencer’s world-weary baritone vocals float over multi-layered guitar harmonies and orchestral arrangements.
Spank are a local Carterton band with a brit pop / post punk flavour, often described as retro. Their songs are are about the ironies of life and are full of vibrance and energy. Spank will take you on a journey which will leave you energised and humming.
Hemi Walker is a jewel in the Wairarapa music scene, he will be opening for the evening with his set of original songs, sang with passion. Hemi is oozing talent and is well known in Wairarapa.
Make sure you get tickets for this one early as they are strictly limited to 100 due to the size of the venue.
