Medal, Psychic Maps, Negative Confessions

Formed six years ago MEDaL are a three piece rock ‘n’ roll band that have released two vinyl albums, gigged sporadically and largely maintained an underground presence in the bowels of Lyttelton. This may change, but probably not… MEDaL : John Billows – Bass (Renderers, Dark Matter), Dave Mulcahy – Guitar (Superette, JPSE ), & Mark Whyte – Drums (Into the Void)

Formed 15 years ago Psychic Maps have finally found a stable line up after relocating from Dunedin to Christchurch city. They spend most of their time writing songs based on sonic guitar jams that they consequently never record. PMAPS: Simon Maclaren – Guitar (Subliminals, Loves Ugly Children), Mike Cole – Bass (Carradine Choke, Future Stupid), Dave Toland – Drums (The Playthings, Not Really Anything)

Ōtautahi band Negative Confessions will showcase their eclectic collection of wordless and wordfull musical pieces. Incorporating elements of shoegaze and post punk rock inspired from the coastal landscape of sea and land, the dreamscape of modern day angst of living, and salt desert plains of adventure.
