Fckn Killer Sun, Bible Black, Simon O'Rorke Trio

Fckn Killer Sun is a reincarnation of the ecstatic psych trio, Glory Fckn Sun. Joan Armatrading sits in for expatriate, Ben Spiers and splashes it alongside Antony Milton and gong-brain percussionist, Simon O’Rorke. Mimaroglu has described Glory’s Tipped Bowler LP as a set of ‘gorgeous, muted improv-psych extrapolations, jointly knit into a batch of tight guitar / violin / percussion burners’. Live, it’s an oceanic churn that invokes the martial lunacy and bad romance of Fushitsusha, the disaster jazz crumble of Hair Police and, as Milton’s PseudoArcana posits, the delicate seethe of Flies Inside the Sun.



Brian Crook’s work in the seminal groups, The Renderers, Flies Inside the Sun, Scorched Earth Policy and The Terminals remains one of the most significant contributions to fried exploratory music both in New Zealand and internationally. Bible Black is an equally pioneering introspection – a distillation of the lullaby sneer, curveball shred inventions and blazed country haunts that infect his work elsewhere.



Preternatural traveler, Simon ORorke colludes with reed and drum dawgs, Reuben Derrick and Rory Dalley in his eponymous trio.
