FLITE
Winters ago, from the bitterly cold south coast of Wellington, Aotearoa - emerged Flite.
Loosely described as a psychedelic-pop meets atmospheric-funk band, is comprised of the folk soul storytelling and guitar of Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant (Nikita the Spooky and a Circus of Men), 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).
After a 4 year semi-hibernation since their debut MARIANA's TRENCHCOAT; FLITE dusted off their wings re-emerging with their new single TRY TO FIND A WAY late last year.
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, The Performance Arcade, and CubaDupa to name a few.
'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.'
- Bryn van Vilet (Tunes of I)
In their live set you'll be taken on a storytelling journey over groove and soundscapes, with their signature epic and expansive sound.
Expect to move.
