ALABAMA SHAKES

It’s impossible to be not in love with the fiercely uncompromising CRYSTAL CASTLES. From their inception they have created a stir with shows that enthrall and excite an impassioned cult following.

PRETTY LIGHTS
PRETTY LIGHTS bring the dancefloor direct from the Big Day Out’s Boiler Room. The musical vision of the ultra-versatile Colorado based producer Derek Vincent Smith, Pretty Lights is moving the dub step massive deeper with cutting electro and organic sounds and serious party rocking beats. Described by Clash Magazine (UK) as a sound “full of chopped-up samples (both vintage and fresh) and deliciously big synth riffs layered over a solid-as-you-like hip hop backbone”, Pretty Lights has caught the zeitgeist, giving away more than 2.6 million free album downloads to date.
Wellington: Thursday 31 January at San Francisco Bathhouse
Auckland: Friday 1 February at The Studio
