About Me

The Postures. Spawned in the primordial swamplands of Palmerston North and the cultural vacuum that is the Hutt Valley, and raised on a diet of crate beer, pies, and heavymetal, these miscreants have chosen Wellington as their base of operations for unleashing destruction across the Southern Hemisphere. Armed with crushing riffage, hollering, a fantastical array of noise-making devices, the black drumkit and songs inspired by charleton heston, the Postures have announced an edict to "channel the spirits of loud" in order to make your good self groove, mother, groove.
