Gig Information

POWERS

POWERS is the current incarnation of CAMPBELL KNEALE who has ping-ponged about the nether regions of interstellar sound for close to thirty earth-years aboard sonic spacecraft such as BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL, BLACK BONED ANGEL, and OUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD.

Known primarily as the captain of his own ship, CAMPBELL KNEALE has also collaborated and performed with some of outsider music’s most defiant and diverse experimentalists... Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Merzbow, Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O))), Keiji Haino, Borbetomagus, Phill Niblock, and Tony Conrad to name a few.

Inspired by ’60s New York loft minimalism, ’70s Kosmische synth, ‘80s No Wave, ’90s Scandinavian black metal demos, and ’00s Japanoise, POWERS pushes everything to transcendental, excoriating, and stroboscopic extremes. Impossibly dense, defiantly raw, and utterly hypnotic, POWERS sets the controls for the heart of a freezing black sun... unfurling the unfathomable with occultic, apocalyptic sound. Carnivorous psychedelia.

R.T.S

RTS is the analogue soundscape project of Harry Lilley and Fraser Williams, otherwise known for playing in Te Papaioea-based noise rock band First Move. De-quantizing the minimal angularism of their other project, RTS sees the duo orient themselves within opaque sonic spaces that exist near the intersection of acoustic resonance, electromagnetism and amplification. Building on shows and recording experiments over the last year, this tour will coincide with the release of their first full-length offering.

IMPRESS

Impress is the rambling sonic machinations of the mercurial Sam Curtis.

A VAST ARRAY OF RECORDS, CDs, AND T-SHIRTS WILL BE ON SALE... COME PREPARED!
