Join our mailing list for the latest news, shows, and releases.
JUNE:
We've finished our first single - "Field" - a shimmering dance number that builds up steam, and "Beat Beat", a strange concoction of tribal rhythms, cascading vocals and climate disaster. Recorded and mixed in basements, mastered by friends and packaged and distributed ourselves in recycled cardboard, this is 100% independent music from start to finish. We've made these available to download for our mailing list subscribers, but you can stream them from our MySpace player above.
MAY:
Three live shows coming up in the next few weeks, ranging from dance mayhem at Newcall Gallery's afterparty to an EP release show for Knives at Noon, as well as some of Auckland's newest bands at a new venue, The Basement (ex Silo). See above for details.
APRIL:
The Ribbon at the Wine Cellar
Images from our recent Wine Cellar show, beginning with a short series of pieces from experimental composer/violinist Johnny Chang, and followed by a 45 minute set of new material from The Ribbon. We also gave away complimentary copies of "Fifty" a rough demo limited to 50 copies, recorded, packaged, and distributed by the band.

MARCH:
Burned, packaged using recycled cardboard and numbered, "Fifty" is a short record of some of our recent material, ranging from the ethereal "Cities", to a sinister, pulsing "Room", and the afrobeat/xylo mashup of "DNA". This will be available for free at a special show we're planning. Press, labels, or other media wanting to promote the band can simply contact the band directly for a complimentary copy.
FEB: We're actively looking to play shows. Parties, gigs, galleries, etc. For booking or bands wanting to collaborate for a set, drop us a line at luke dot munn at gmail dot com. Shown below are images from a show at the Kings Arms.
