Tūī
Wears a sharp white cravat. Belts out complex, dual-synth melodies right up until someone looks at it wrong.
Meet the artists
Kākā
Hangs upside down, strips the bark off the venue, and screams straight through the quiet parts of everyone else's set.
Kārearea
Enters at 100km/h. No stage banter, no encores. Clears the venue in ten seconds.
TīwaiwakaFantail
Physically incapable of standing still. Drops erratic beats and pulls unprovoked backflips in your personal space.
PīpīwharauroaShining Cuckoo
Shimmering green and strictly seasonal. Drops one catchy, repetitive hook, then flies back to the tropics.
ToutouwaiNorth Island Robin
Books the premium forest canopy. Chooses to stand in the dirt, playing quiet, reverb-heavy minimalism.
The more you give
the louder they sing
TitipounamuRifleman
A tailless green blur. Broadcasts an ultra-high-frequency set exclusively for the local dogs.
Kororā
Waddles out of the surf at 2 AM and screams loud enough to trigger a noise complaint.
TauhouSilvereye
Sharp white eyeliner. Travels in a tight-knit crew, whispers a delicate three-part harmony, and packs up before sunset.
Kōtare
Stares at you from a power line for twenty minutes, shrieks kek-kek-kek-kek-kek, then leaves in a blue flash.
RiroriroGrey Warbler
Completely invisible. Plays a delicate, looping track that keeps the vibe of the suburb going.
Kererū
Tight white singlet. Zero vocals. Just drops out of the sky with a whump, whump, whump that’s heavy enough to snap a branch.
The more you give
the louder they sing
KorimakoBellbird
Olive green and classically trained. Hits pitch-perfect bell tones that embarrasses everyone else on the bill.
KākārikiRed crowned parakeet
Fast, loud, and aggressively emerald. Brings a hyperactive tempo whether you asked for it or not.
Ruru
Huge eyes, midnight shift. Lays down a stark, two-note drone for the ultimate late-night comedown.
TīekeSaddleback
Rocks a brown leather vest. Stomps through the undergrowth delivering a loud, rhythmic set.
Kiwi
National treasure, complete hermit. Plays in the pitch black and refuses to do press.
KawauLittle black shag
Climbs the nearest rock soaking wet and dramatically spreads a black cape for forty-five minutes of theatrical gloom.
