Sewage
are electrifying duo of Ro Rushton-Green (saxes/violin/vocals) and Gabriel Griffin (drums). Hailing from Ōtepoti/Dunedin, Sewage first gained notoriety in 2009 after winning the Otago Rockquest, facing petty public criticisms by members of loser bands upset at Sewage's high level of creativity and energy. Since those heady teenage times Sewage has become a favourite of the NZ experimental underground, performing at festivals such as Lines of Flight and Nowhere!, and making regular appearances in their hometown of Dunedin.
Sewage incorporates multiple saxophones, violin, drums and vocals into a cathartic maelstrom. Their debut record is being released at this gig! It was recorded in 2017 at None Gallery by Forbes Williams, and is being released on Coco Muse recordings.
