Body

Pyramid Club is happy to present Ōtepoti/Dunedin trio Ghost Bells for a two night performance residency.

Ghost Bells are a free noise rock group made up of three of Dunedin's longstanding experimental/underground musicians: Peter Porteous, Robbie Yeats and Mick Elborado.

Formed from the ashes of seminal free noise band Eye and early southern psychedelic pioneers the Terminals, Ghost Bells are improvised and unpredictable. Anchored in the drumming of the Dead C’s Robbie Yeats, together with the tactile guitar work of Peter Porteous and the hypnotic bass playing of Mick Elborado they conjure a wild and visceral experience.


Night 2: Saturday November 6th

Ghost Bells in collaboration:
Mick Elborado w/Lucy Reid & Bek Coogan
Robbie Yeats w/Riki Pirihi
Peter Porteous w/Daniel Beban

 

Experimental guitarist Peter Porteous was a core member of ledgendary sonic project EYE, and longtime curator of the Lines of Flight festival.

Mick Elborado plays extraordinary bass, guitar and keys in countless bands including The Terminals, Negative Nancies, Francisca and the Bus Shelter boys.
