PLANET - A mix of traditional bagpipe airs with post punk riffs and a dollop of vaudevillian good humour. It could be world music, it could be underground indie rock. It could be psychedelic folk music. But it's always approachable and certainly a lot of fun.

BEANS AND DON - A dynamic duo beautifully sculpting a path of folky ballads through love, loss, and much, much more.

SAM SAFFREY - From rural New Zealand to the subways and bodegas of New York, Samuel R. Saffery’s musical journey is unquestionably linked to place and movement.
Blending indie folk, alternative rock, and classical influences, his songs are delivered with a distinctive, melodic voice, as haunting as it is sweet.

BUFFLAO BUFFLAO BUFFLAO - A seven-piece herd of instrument addicts play a mix of electronic and acoustic to produce pop-rock that is equal parts playful and whimsical. Catchy indie-pop licks, lush harmonies, and hooks that stick, the enigmatic, multi-faceted group Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo – so good they named the band three times.

TESTPOT - Alternative indie rock trio colliding sonic inspirations from bands such as Radiohead, Animals as Leaders, and Duran Duran. A sonic commentary on social media, corruption, AI, surveillance, and the other goodies we’re all told we have to live with. A side project of Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo member Hayden Overton, joined by the talented Scott Roy and the percussive brilliance of Lachie Kendric, doing whatever it is we do.

AGATHGA PANTHA - Expect the unexpected from Wellington-based Agatha Pantha - a folk/rock four-piece whose sounds range from bouncing rhythms to dark, tangled ballads to anthemic rock numbers. The product of four unlikely allies joined by musical fortitude and lived experience, here to provide a therapeutic soundtrack to the everyday.

KINGSTON HIGH ALL STARS - The Kingston High All Stars are a Wellington-based band founded by 5 friends who are inspired by the brilliant, hypnotic and incredibly rhythmic music coming out of the Western Sahara. KHAS has since developed their signature style, blending desert blues, psych-rock, middle eastern classical, reggae and funk.
