Live Photos: Mogwai - James Cabaret, Wellington

Post-rockers Mogwai set about blowing minds (and eardrums) on the weekend, with their first New Zealand performances in 16 years. The Scottish six-piece played two shows across Wellington and Auckland, wheeling out 90 minutes worth of highlight material from their eight album back-catalogue including, of course, an array of songs from their most recent offering Rave Tapes. Photographer Xander Dixon was at Friday's show in Wellington, which had the curtain raised by Australian-based supporting act Mick Turner (of the Dirty Three), check out his shots below. And head over here to see Stella Gardiner's photos from the Auckland show at The Powerstation on Saturday...
