KITA – Friday, September 29th
Bold and vibrant Pōneke trio KITA are embarking on The Love Lives Here tour, celebrating their recently released second EP ‘Love Lives Here.’ Melding inspirations of folk, soul, pop and psychedelia with the guitar and spirited storytelling of musician-actor Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant (Avatar 2, Far North), the thick lushness of Moog synth and Fender Rhodes from Ed Zuccollo (Zuke), and the filthy drive and barking drums of Rick Cranson (Little Bushman), KITA have long-since solidified themselves as a must-see live band with a massive sound.
Arahi: Te Tokotoru – Saturday, October 7th
Arahi, one of Aotearoa’s most exciting emerging songwriters and live performers, is poised to embark on a nationwide tour with his high-energy trio, Te Tokotoru, delivering thunderous grooves with an experimental charm that connects deeply to tangata whenua. With Arahi at the helm on lead guitar and vocals, alongside the wizardry of William Devine (Fane Flaws, Tropical Downbeat Orchestra) on bass, and the rhythmic prowess of Iraia Whakamoe (The Nudge, Fly My Pretties) on drums, Te Tokotoru bursts with decades of collective musical experience and its members have featured on a myriad of stages across the motu.
