Polar Extremes is the sci-fi infused, post-modern satirical, apocalyptic musical endeavour of Auckland based creative Quaint.
Shrouded in mystery, Quaint was purposefully restrained in online presence, but has been a driving force in New Zealand’s underground scene since the 1990s, when eclectic performances across Wellington, and the songwriting of his debut record STRANGE VISIONS 1, began.
The first installment of a swirling trilogy detailing the apocalypse, STRANGE VISIONS 1 briefly emerged in 2019 and caught the eye of NZ music critics such as Graham Reid, who described the work as “fun, surreal, clever, fantasy-full, adultly childish (and vice-versa).”
In 2025, with the musical world-building of Polar Extremes as relevant as ever, STRANGE VISIONS 1 has re-emerged for an official release via digital streaming platforms.
The self-produced, mixed and mastered 12-track record paints a surreal scene for an uncertain future, but all signs point to Quaint nearing the completion of his fanciful trilogy. When? No-one knows!
**This event also features the multi-faceted talents of 'Bottom Bunk Club' and 'The Rugs'
***Doors will open by 8pm, and the performances will commence soon after!
