w/ support from The Jewel School & DJ Sticky Fingaz Electric Wire Hustle play their home town for the last time before drummer Myele heads off to the Red Bull Music Academy & some serious traveling.
EWH will be back live in full force next summer but expect to hear lots from them during 2010 as they follow up on their first european tour w/ an international release & tours to follow.
In the meantime get down to the Bathhouse Sat 13 Feb for one helluva goodbye party!

EWH BIO
Developing their own sound and twist on modern hip hop, psychedelic and soul Electric Wire Hustle introduces a new combination of NZ musicians – Taay Ninh, Mara TK and Myele Manzanza and their fresh new sound.
Challenging genre boundaries and preconceptions, the music of EWH reaches forward while referencing key points of music’s past. Thick drums and percussion layered with synth lines, hints of Fender Rhodes and nylon stringed guitars have your neck snapping while your ear cranes to the evocative vocals of Mara TK.
