Cookie Brooklyn & Po Pi Sha /Class War on the Dance Floor/Sonya Waters
Cookie Brooklyn & Po Pi Sha is the angular post-punk duo of Mark Williams (guitar/vocals) and Derek Champion (drums). Together they render splintered songs of suburban creep with angular boogie and short fuse combustion. Williams' previous projects include Cookie Brooklyn & the Crumbs, Bad Statistics and he currently plays in Dunedin with Living Clipboards. Derek Champion, formerly of Satina Saturnina and numerous other bands and performance art projects in Wellington in the 2000s, spent 12 years living and working in Canada through the 2010s before returning to NZ. Both have previously played with iterations of Bill Direen's Bilders, touring Europe and USA.
Class War on the Dance Floor is the solo project of Marika Pratley inspired by trance 80s synth pop and contemporary hip hop, using the Deluge
Sonya Waters is a composer and solo synth artist playing meditative soundtracks for imaginary films. Her music is underpinned by lush layers of synth orchestration crisscrossed with tessellations of West Coast Moog and vocoder vocals. Semi-modular cutups build into rich textural soundscapes reminiscent of 1960-70s British TV themes, old library music, and the mysterious drones of Folk Horror.
