The Stinging Nettles with Jonny Marks

$17.50 Presales

The Stinging Nettles are a trio of Wellington's most ear twisting improvisors. Guitarist Daniel Beban (Orchestra of Spheres, Imbogodom), bass player Tom Callwood (Phoenix Foundation, the Woods) and drummer Anthony Donaldson (Teeth, Melancholy Babes) meld power trio energy music with abstracted psychedelic free jazz. The band deftly slides and swoops through a landscape where every sound and structure is absorbed into a free flow of real and imagined species-consciousness!

The trio are joined for a special one-off performance with vocalist and synth player and percussion Jonny Marks. Jonny will be playing the AKS suitcase Synthi.

$17.50 presales via UTR
