Front-woman Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant is amidst her Artist in Residence at The Hannah Theatre in Wellington, translating her debut art-house film LOVE LIVES HERE 愛住在這裡 for stage. The narrative originally inspired by the band's EP LOVE LIVES HERE which they toured nationwide in 2023. Tu-Bryant is debuting the film into a full immersive cinema-live-theatrical experience with a chorus of dancers and live band for her residency at the end of this year. In the meantime, she revives the live-in-concert version of this vulnerable ambitious work-in-progress. Excerpts from the film will be remixed live by Elfling. This show was showcased at Twisted Frequency, and now powerhouse trio KITA bring it back to the capital playing one of their favourite venues in Pōneke, SANFRAN.
Recent Aotearoa #1 HINE aka GiGi Crayford will be warming the space,m playing support.

KITA
Melding inspirations of folk, soul, pop and psychedelia with the guitar and spirited storytelling of musician-actor Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant (Avatar 2, Far North); the thick lushness of Moog synth and Fender Rhodes from Ed Zuccollo (aka Zuke); and the filthy drive and barking drums of Rick Cranson (Little Bushman), KITA have long-since solidified themselves as a must-see live band with a massive sound.
