Wednesday | Wellington w/ Mudgoose 

About the event

<p><br></p><p>When North Carolina&rsquo;s noise makers Wednesday first visited Aotearoa off the back of their album RAT SAW GOD, audiences were taken by surprise in the best possible way. A 95bFM review called the band&rsquo;s Whammy show &ldquo;a sold out countrygaze extravaganza&rdquo;, and everyone who came left with big hearts and even bigger smiles. Now, with the band&rsquo;s unbelievable sixth album Bleeds out in the world, it&rsquo;s high time that Banished Music and Strange News had their fun pals from Asheville down for a repeat visit, with three shows across Wellington, Lyttelton, and Auckland happening this May.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;Rock records don&rsquo;t come much better than this&rdquo; - NME *****&nbsp;</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>Bleeds is the album the band are calling &ldquo;not only the best Wednesday record&mdash;it&rsquo;s also the most Wednesday record&rdquo;, with all the elements that make the Southern rock magic of this rare group so special. NME put it beautifully in their five-star review of the album, heaping well deserved praise on Wednesday&rsquo;s &ldquo;blown-out distortion, weirdo-country slide guitar and serrated melodies&rdquo;. Fronted and founded by the fierce and fun Karly Hartzman, whose songs are at once confessional and crack-up, Wednesday have built a formidable reputation for being one of the best - and most dynamic - live bands on the circuit. Joining Karly will be the inimitable and animated Xandy Chelmis on lap steel and pedal steel, Alan Miller (drums), Ethan Baechtold (bass, piano).</p><p><br></p><p><em>San Fran holds a <strong>Supervised License</strong>.
