Late Lounge Good Laika
Thu Jun 3rd, 2010
Doors open: 7:00 pm
Gig starts: 7pm
Entry: All Ages
Thursday June 3, 7-9pm, Wellington band Good Laika blends indie rock, soul and folk influences into an aural adventure. All galleries, shopette, bar and café open til late, so join us for another relaxing Late Lounge. KOHA.
Like its ill-fated name-sake Laika, the first dog in space and Russian national hero, Good Laika members Robin Hinkley, Jason Faafoi, Matthew Armitage, Ricky Boyd and Nic Marshall say their band “invokes pictures of bitter irony, grim humour and passionate ambition”. Of their 2009 album, Gary Steel, Tone/Metro said “In short, Followed By A Trail Of Sparks is one of the best locally made albums Ive heard all year, and despite it not being a genre that I generally subscribe to, Ive found it drifting back onto my playlist, which is high praise indeed.”
