Launched for NZ Music Month - The Orchestra of Spheres

The kid popped along to Rough Peel Records last Sunday to check out this unique group performing in-house at Rough Peel to get on down and to take a few pics.

Their new album is called Brothers and Sisters of the Black Lagoon  

 

  Their latest single is 'Trapdoors'

Channeling ancient future funk from the IS! Warping spatioelastoplasticity with sound! 

Born out of Wellington's Frederick Street Sound and Light Exploration Society in 2009, the Spheres have developed a cult-like following in New Zealand. Playing house parties, dance parties, DIY shows and opera houses, the Spheres have built a reputation for musically and visually ecstatic live shows. They've toured Europe in 2011 and 2012, and will be back in late 2013 for a series of gigs to promote their  Vibration Animal Sex Brain Music.

Like celestial sponges the Spheres' clonga sound draws on influences far and wide: kuduro, psychedelic primary school disco, fire music, kwaito, free improv, south pacific demolition, shangaan electro, zeuhl, mbalax, kosmische quiche, tarraxo, witch doctor haus, orgasmo brain rave, juke/footwork, polynesian no wave prog, quarr, costume rock, inner brain clap, funk puppetré...

The Spheres use homemade instruments like the biscuit tin guitar, electric bass carillon and sexomouse marimba to create their cosmic dancing sound.
