Body

"so very pleased to be performing at Pyramid Club with the Perms. It's bound to be near-perfect..."

Francisca Griffin is a musician and naturopath from Port Chalmers. Known as Kathy Bull until the mid 1990s, she was bass player, guitarist and vocalist in legendary 1980s Flying Nun band Look Blue Go Purple.

Over the years she's played in groups with luminaries including Sandra Bell, Shayne Carter, Peter Jerfferies, Peter Gutteridge & Alistair Galbraith. She released her first solo single since the late 90s, ‘Falling Light’ in November 2017, and ‘the spaces between’ in January 2019.

The Bus Shelter Boys are the one and only Mick Elborado on bass, and Francisca’s son Gabriel Griffin (from Sewage et al) on drums.
