About Me

Improv Noise Band...
...an ever-changing lineup that features/has featured members of local Wellington bands Alabaster Theatre, Goodbye Galaxy, Halva Eve, The Aviators, Sullen Moon, El Schlong, (and Nelson band Beltane) and other top notch performers from the New Zealand School of Music and around town.
the band was set up for the 06.06.06 gig in June 2006, and after great feedback it was decided to keep the Improv Noise band up as a "permanent sideproject"
LIVE REVIEW - W.S. McCALLUM
The closing act was the Improv Noise Band, which was formed in June 2006 and has an ever-changing line-up. This time, it was four-piece and guitar-based, with accompaniment from violin, mandolin, and what looked like an alto recorder. The Improv Noise Band also performed a single piece which, like Treefrog, involved controlled noise, but with a lot more flourishes and embellishments. Once again, the audience were keeping their distance from the stage, and I was disappointed not to see any rhythmic dancing from any audience members, but that was probably not the effect being aimed for in any case.
