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.
