RTS is the analogue soundscape project of Harry Lilley and Fraser Williams, otherwise known for playing in
Te Papaioea - based noise rock band First Move.
De-quantizing the minimal angularism of their other project, RTS sees the duo orient themselves within opaque sonic spaces that exist near the intersection of acoustic resonance, electromagnetism and amplification

have a listen to DROOK here
It's not often you get to watch a band play pop bangers and dreamy melodic material but with the intensity of the best DIY live post-punk bands, like a sorta Charli xcx/Sophie meets Womb meets The Mint Chicks....seamlessly switching between instruments and electronics, with a tasteful amount of chaos

POWERS is the current incarnation of CAMPBELL KNEALE who has ping-ponged about the nether regions of interstellar sound for close to thirty earth-years aboard sonic spacecraft such as BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL, BLACK BONED ANGEL, and OUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD.
Ōhinehou ratbags The Escalation (Bruce Russell & Peter Wright) return with another improvised sonic blow out of the cataclysmic kind, cheerfully revealing maximum disdain for health and safety with a cobweb-clearing all-out assault on the senses.
Co-founded by Nick Harte and Will Callaghan, Dyschezia Tenesmus acts as a sort of continuation of Harte’s earlier CM Ensemble and later Aotearoa Snuff Jazz Ensemble (the latter of which was co-founded with Bruce Russell and Jeff Henderson). The unit assembles a constantly revolving lineup of performers who record on a regular basis, improvisation being the sole restriction.
