Their music is inspired by concepts of visual scores/mark-making; expanding into collages of sound - open frameworks with jazz influences as much as from painters Cy Twombly and Joan Mitchell.

Jeline: @Jeline.tb | Spotify | Linktree
jeline is your ‘filipina-next door’ - An indie-pop-rock artist who's writing songs about feelings she can't contain to herself and belting her heart out to whoever's listening! jeline has surrounded herself in different genres and music tastes but after trying to find her feet as an artist, some honest talks with the industry and scrapping a whole ass album, she finally locked in to her recognisable indie-pop-rock sound. From songs about first love to obsessing over exes, jeline's relatability and vulnerability is always packaged in a song you can bop along to!
During her live gigs, her playful and slightly (extremely) chaotic self comes to life with the help of her band W.K Bookclub. With her meaningful lyrics, powerhouse vocals and charming personality, jeline's sure to hop on your radar!
The Joint Chiefs: Bandcamp
Drum-keys alternative duo brining you tunes described to us as “Lound but NOT metal”. Sitting somewhere amongst indie-rock and alternative electronic The Joint Chiefs swear by noise in a way you've never heard.
Molosser: @Molosser
Pulverising Wellington death metal feat. members of Brainwave, Lucre & ex-Zone Killer.

Queer & Subculture Zines by Pōneke Creatives
18 January - 14 February
A team of local creatives from Wellington's zine scene have created illustrated portraits, historical protest art, photography, fanart and writing for BENT - a new collaborative zine series looking at our city’s subcultural and queer communities. The exhibition shows off their work in a collection of over fifty risograph-printed pieces.
