LIPS Perform 'What The Hell' - UTR Trash Recital Episode 6

We're stoked to share the sixth episode of our new web series created in collaboration with the talented gang at Sports Team: UTR Trash Recital!

For each episode of Trash Recital we've invited some of our favourite Aotearoa artists into the UTR studios to perform one of their signature songs, re-created using everyday items selected from a treasure trove of literal trash, collected by Sports Team from Tāmaki Makaurau's finest op shops / second hand stores. Trash Recital not only provides a launchpad for stunning reimaginings of recent classic tunes, but also the perfect opportunity for a chinwag with our local musical heroes.

Now's a busy time for Tāmaki Makaurau's LIPS, whose long-awaited debut album I Don't Know Why I Do Anything will finally be out this Friday. Silver Scroll-winning founding members Stephanie Brown and Fen Ikner co-star in the sixth instalment of Trash Recital [fun fact: sound engineer/ mixer Ruby Walsh is also a member], which we can reveal was the very first episode filmed for our series as a pilot, contributing hugely to how the show ended up taking shape as a whole. Experience the majesty of their trashed-up rework of 'What The Hell', appearing in a brand new studio version on their forthcoming record, and don't dare miss them touring Aotearoa as a full band with dream-pop rising stars Phoebe Rings at the following dates...
