METAL ROUGE:
Métal Rouge was formed in 2006 by Helga Fassonaki and Andrew Scott in Auckland, New Zealand with no aim but to open themselves to the spontaneous psych tonalism running through the underbelly of popular music like a vein of pure lightning. Birthed from the rich history of New Zealand underground they began to mold a sound comprised equally of the forward motion of ecstatic jazz and the drugged stasis of NYC loft minimalism circa ’66. Drummer/Trombonist Caitlin M. Mitchell joined in 2009, bringing with her a night/day spectrum ranging from pure brass drone through to aggressive free rock. Related projects include Yek Koo, Nest, Un Ciego, Huzun, Warm Climate and Low Light Situations. Métal Rouge have releases on Root Strata, Not Not Fun, Stunned, Digitalis and Emerald Cocoon.
“ …there’s something about their unique blend of new zealand “bedroom” guitar chorusing & extended voice-led byg-era fire music moves that’s so ... gratifying ; and fairly outside of the prescribed free-rock paths taken my most these days.” – Mimaroglu Music Sales
“Squalling riffs interlace as vocals seem to ooze out of the mix in one cacophonous wave after another. Definitely some Dead C and even some Harry Pussy in there, but so dense as to melt those influences down into a molten lead.” – The Ear Conditioned Nightmare

SAM HAMILTON
Sam makes FREEWAVE music, a vibrant and explorative celebration of music from the first musical wailings of our primitive ancestors to the mind fucking next-level leaps in musical evolution yet to come, but most of all it's an exploration of the music that is of the present. A 21st century sound typified by boundariless musical hybridisation yet melded into a unified ecstatic spectral explosion of sparkling rays of sound, throbbing voodoo pulsations and energetic sonic friction between spazz-out fun and magical transformation, retaliatingly ambiguous yet intrinsically universal music.
Sam has worked in numerous projects from recording with the Tall Dwarfs, played with Damo Sazuki of CAN, recorded sound in the Amazon rain forest with Francisco Lopez, playing psychedelic free rock with Dean Roberts, Expanded Cinema with the Parasitic Fantasy Band or composing music for major international dance company MAU. He has performed in such diverse settings as the Australian Outback Desert to ISSUE Project Room in NY, outdoor dance music festivals, indie punk rock clubs, house parties to major international triennial art exhibitions.

Your role if you want to participate in this is to do WHATEVER you want, even nothing is fine.
Just show up and interact with something or anything or nothing.
Bring instruments, try this stuff you were ashamed of trying before, be a sax virtuoso, ANYTHING GOES as long as you're here.
Because people are more valuable than what they do (in this case at least).
Being ridiculous is extremely efficient.
Here is an old and short and not very representative example of the general "spirit" (forget the guy in undies).
