DEATHBEAM
Deathbeam, a terrifying tireless two-piece featuring members of Frayden. A deadly slow death boom duo with an eye for trouble. Equipped with various forms of daggers, haunted by ghosts of past mistakes. Here to pluck you petal by fluttering petal. Uncompromisingly loud and brutal their music brings to mind the greatest elements of New Zealand's musical history, namely the Gordons and Skeptics.
'The continuing saga of the mythical phoenix known as Beam. On a neverending quest... tracking the Red Dragon... From the scattered ashes of the Apocalypse Beam they rise... DEATHBEAM! .\/.'

I've never seen Torben play in any of his fantastic outfits over the years, heard heaps of good stuff and I wanted to be able to see him play so I asked him. He agreed. Wicked.
PITS
The abyss of self reflection, where the ho-hum and hokum, holy and hirsute coexists.
Record interventions and caves of audio tape.
Scouring the fragile grooves, excavating the dust mines.
Heart in hand, broken tonal skeletons.
Wonky, outsider-art turntable percussion machines & collected trash ensembles.
Shunned by the academics.
No delusions of rock grandeur.
Full of cast-offs, seconds and contradictions aplenty.
Ryan has performed under the name SPIT since 2001, when resident in Dunedin and surrounds. Since moving to Australian, he has grappled with the obsolete moniker. This is his second visit under the Pits title.
