"Wonderful!" - John Campbell, Radio NZ

"The soundtrack to the sepia-toned, sun-washed short film of your dreams... as you would expect from a collective of such talented individuals, the musical genius at play is hard to ignore" - The New Zealand Herald

"They make a fantastic sound... Full of robot bartenders, scary sand-creatures in the desert. There's a man with a spare face growing out of his shoulder which is a bit alarming… It's fantastic!" - Grant Smithies

"Some serious instrument playing going on!" - Kathryn Ryan, Radio NZ

The show will run at The Meteor Theatre, 1 Victoria Street on July 5, 7.30pm. Tickets are $22 General Admission and $17.50 Concession (Student ID, Gold Card).
