The Stinging Nettles are a trio of Wellington's most ear twisting improvisors. Guitarist Daniel Beban (Orchestra of Spheres, Farewell Spit), bass player Tom Callwood (Phoenix Foundation, The Woods) and drummer Anthony Donaldson (Devils Gate Outfit, 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 consciousness.
The trio is joined for a special one-off performance with vocalist, synth player and percussionist Jonny Marks (front man of All Seeing Hand). Jonny will be playing the AKS suitcase Synthi.
