Somewhere between the worlds of Hip Hop, Post Punk and Free Jazz exists Alphabethead, a tea drinking ,Turntable Musician from Wellington. A performer equally edept at rocking boisterous Rock Crowds as is he is to intriguing audiences at Jazz Festivals - Alphabethead has been described as a virtuoso of the phonograph turntable and an outrageous performer who you must see to really comprehend
Once a champion Hip Hop Dj, Alphabethead is now an explorer / destroyer of all sound-on-vinyl. From Mongolian throst singing and heavy metal guitars to field recordings and electronica, no LP is taboo. His performances always hold surprises and his unique approach allows him to coax wonderfully strange sounds from the turntable; a highlight was Alphabetheads melodic turntable solo wrote one reviewer. Expect noise, Rhythm and Vinyl thrashing. Imagine an aggresive Kid Koala or if Mix Master Mike scratched Post Punk.
