This Friday Dec 5 sees MEDaL team up with good friends KAIWHATU to make their yearly excursion out of the cave to entertain the masses.
Formed six years ago MEDaL have released two vinyl albums, gigged sporadically and largely maintained an underground presence in the bowels of Lyttelton. This may change, but probably not...
KAIWHATU , who also enjoy exploring the Space/Kraut Rock side of the universe, describe themselves :
Kaiwhatu — to weave, to lead, to guide — is a collective of four musicians exchanging musical influences from past and present. Their creative process begins organically, with ideas sparked by any of the four: Dylan on guitar, Taipua on bass, and John on drums and percussion & Rico contributing to vocals. From there, they weave through ideas playfully, developing textures that shift between the unworldly and the familiar. The result is music that feels both spontaneous and deeply connected — a living tapestry of sound.
Vinyl will be available at the door
