As the newest mem­ber of the glit­terati set col­lo­qui­al­ly known as Los Welling­ton­istas, I would like to draw read­ers’ col­lec­tive atten­tions to one of this week­end’s musi­cal high­lights:

Lone­some Cow­boy Wan­der­er Delaney David­son, for­mer­ly of Switzer­land (via Christchurch), returns to New Zealand to share his prim­i­tive rock ‘n roll folk with Welling­ton.

This Sat­ur­day night the Mighty Mighty hosts Delaney, his lap­steel, and his friends the Wrong­do­ings of Welling­ton Coun­ty, and Wairara­pa Wolf­man Boss Christ.

Delaney was the NZ mem­ber of Pan-Euro­pean cabaret noisenik folk­sters the Dead Broth­ers, once described as “more or less what’s left of a sym­pho­ny orches­tra after their car crashed”. The Wrong­do­ings are a twist­ed coun­try four­some; and Boss Christ is a spec­tac­u­lar half-man, half-wolf, all-blues, prim­i­tive dynamo.
Sat­ur­day 26th Octo­ber, 9pm at Mighty Mighty
