Aotearoa audio alchemists -HIGH ALTAR- are the duo of Brendan Moran (Hasselhoff Experiment, Subliminals, Vor-stellan) and Taipua Adams (Terror of the Deep, The Perms), reconvening this Friday onwards for a 5 date spring tour. Masters of deep zone delving, 'semi-improvised' bass guitar / drums / electronics locked-in heavy psych-noise interplay. The mega-talented pair have of course lined up formidable special guests for this event.

Box of Hammers - Combining haunting melodies with subtle harmonics to evoke the chaos and beauty around us, Box of Hammers applies otherworldly qualities to electric guitar, creating a musical landscape that juxtaposes darkness and hope while pushing the limits of his chosen medium into wonderfully surreal places.
John Kingston is a musician based in Te Whanganui-A-Tara, whose love for the possibilities of guitar, effects and processes is celebrated in his solo project, Box of Hammers.
