Wet Wings (Lucy, Darian) play songs (~7-10 depending on audience reaction) with instruments (Casiotone MT-45, looped vocals, sampler, reverb units, guitar) at Happy (capacity 144) to celebrate (o_0) Glory Glory release (CD, cassette, digital) with friends (see below).
City Oh Sigh is a trio of classically-trained musicians that carefully crafts soulful songs, capturing audiences with their softness and beauty. The band combines unique instrumentation with subtle elements of folk and minimalist pop to emerge with a sound that is both difficult to categorise yet warmly familiar. Lead singer/songwriter/cellist Kate started writing her own songs after a stint playing with several bands across New Zealand, Australia, America and Europe. On returning to New Zealand, Kate teamed up with old friends, Sarah (vintage Rhodes) and Catherine (guitar, vocals and trumpet), and started writing songs with themes of love and loss, friendship and loneliness. All three band members also appear in new power-pop octet The Sisters of St Rupertsberg, another all-girl band that has been progressively stealing hearts on the Wellington indie scene.
Mount Pleasant present without being present besides (I like to be convinced that there is not and that there will be never physical exit of Paradise). So close heroes and so much distance, of which one knows nothing yet. Heroes which one started to follow the trace and whom one will follow blindly.
