From the deep south of Waihopi, FOTA bring their chaotic circus sound to Otepoti Dunedin
Groove has a new name, and its name is FOTA.
At the heart of this multi-headed musical hydra of swaying, trancelike tight alternative hard rock rhythms with blues/metal/punk/reggae undertones is a massive beating melodic sensibility.
The slightly off-kilter hint of menace is ever close on the horizon, before the joyous, anarchic release of their next power-packed chorus.
Fronted by the manic vocal intensities of Jay Sellwood, lashed by the frenetic superior guitar musings of Vance Manu and underpinned by the lethally tight rhythm section of Shane McDowell (bass) and Joseph O’Donnell (drums), FOTA deliver right across your stage.
They’re a freaking awesome band. Original, entertaining, verging on the edge of utter chaos but punchy, powerful and catchy as all hell.
