The Stinging Nettles

$15

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 twang’n’bangery to create music which feels strikingly original yet somewhat familiar. 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!

8pm
Presale tickets $15 available from Under the Radar.
