Audio Foundation is pleased to announce a South Island Tour by the electrifying duo of Ro Rushton-Green (saxes/violin/vocals) and Gabriel Griffin (drums) known collectively as SEWAGE.
Sewage first gained notoriety in 2009 after winning the Otago Rockquest, facing petty public criticisms by members of loser bands upset at Sewage’s high level of creativity and energy (https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/rockquest-loser-slams-judges)
Since those heady teenage times Sewage has become a favourite of the NZ experimental underground, performing at festivals such as Lines of Flight and Nowhere!, at legendary Wellington venue the Pyramid Club and making regular appearances in their hometown of Dunedin.
Since moving to Tamaki Makaurau in 2019 Ro Rushton- Green has become a vital member of the experimental scene there, performing with Superstarz, Shape of a Mouth, Psychick Witch, Kro-Moon, Rat Wraith, Nadir Knot and more.
Gabriel Griffin is a fixture in the Dunedin scene and plays regularly with songwriter Francisca Griffin and the Bus Stop Boys, hardcore band Swallows Nest and with the irrepressible legend Mick Elborado.
Sewage play shows in Christchurch, Oamaru and Dunedin with differing lineups of sonic fascinators.
