****************************************************
The Stumps are a �supergroup� of some of Wellingtons most prominent sound artists/musicians. Featuring Antony Milton (Sunken/NetherDawn/Glory Fckn Sun and also boss of PseudoArcana label), James Kirk (Sandoz Lab Technicians, Black Boned Angel) and Stephen Clover (Seht). Their sound moves from slowly evolving drones to noise prog rock, mixing in �free jazz drum splatter� and psych-noise. Their initial LP, Split Fleet Dodge, was released to critical acclaim overseas, even making it to #18 in Thurston Moore and Byron Coleys best of 2006 list. This show marks the Stumps first show in Auckland, and will be one not to miss.
White Saucer are an avant-rock duo comprised of guitarist Alan Holt and drummer Stella Corkery. Inspired by the triple threat freedoms of free jazz, 20th century avant-garde and psychedelic/improvised rock music White Saucer have been flying their unique �freak flag� since the mid 90�s.
They have played numerous shows and have released a number of records and appeared on several compilations. Their latest appearance being a remix of Marz Attax on the Coco Solid remix album - Denim & Leisure.
While primarily a drums and guitar band they also broaden their palette with electronics and acoustic percussion.
As if that wasn�t enough�
DJ Tanner will be making his first appearance, having escaped from next door to Bob Saget to play the best garage-rock/psych/doo-wop you�ll hear through a large PA.
Seht will be Djing, a, uh.. DJ-Seht of unknown/known/awesome music sure to please your ears and the mysterious Wyatt Riot will also be making an appearance to play freshly burnt cds of music that you probably don�t know about yet. No-one knows much about Wyatt Riot, but its rumoured he has had his lower ribs removed to fit in a cd-burner and Ethernet port�..
