Winters ago, from the bitterly cold south coast of Wellington, Aotearoa - emerged FLITE.
After a 4 year semi-hibernation since their debut MARIANA's TRENCHCOAT; FLITE have dusted off their wings re-emerging with their new single TRY TO FIND A WAY.
Riding on the euphoria of their release at Sanfran Bathhouse in Wellington, we bring you a return Flite to their regular vibey spot, The Rogue & Vagabond.
Despite being a little late to the online social media(s), FLITE have been simmering below the surface, playing shows around the country over the years, as well as a few favourite festivals; TORA TORA TORA, Performance Arcade, and Newtown Festival to name a few.
FLITE, loosely described as an atmospheric-funk band, is comprised of the folk-soul storytelling vocals and guitar of Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant (Nikita & the Spooky), the thick lush sounds of Moog-synth bass and Rhodes of Ed Zuccollo (Trinity Roots), and the filthy drive and psychedelic tribal drums of Rick Cranson (Little Bushman).
In their live set you'll be taken on a storytelling journey over groove and soundscapes, with their signature epic and expansive sound.
[FLITE is one of those few bands, when you hear them; find yourself losing all concept of time because you are so completely utterly transfixed, and in-tune with their groove.]

[To experience a FLITE gig is to witness a stellar example of 3 strong musical identities running at each other at full speed and fusing together to create a synergy and oneness unparalleled on the scene today.]

[Flite is one of the few bands I will go and see every time they're playing, if I'm not on tour. And I just love them every time. I live in Berlin now, and I see their gigs pop up and it genuinely makes me miss home.]
