A Friday night and a Saturday morning

Down at the City Gallery on Fri­day night they are run­ning anoth­er one of their Late Night Ses­sions, where you get to cruise around the big exhi­bi­tion (this time it’s the bien­ni­al Prospect show) in rel­a­tive peace and lis­ten to love­ly live music while you do so. And all for free.

City Gallery’s pop­u­lar late night Fri­day returns. Wan­der through Tele­com Prospect 2007: New Art New Zealand to a back­drop of inde­pen­dent and elec­tron­ic sounds by local per­form­ers. Fea­tur­ing Penelop­ing, Tc Wed­de with Luke Buda, and Aspen.

The love­ly Luke Buda is of course in The Phoenix Foun­da­tion, as is (the equal­ly love­ly) Tc Wed­de. Aspen is also love­ly and also known as Sign­er, and is one half of Over the Atlantic and one half of Skallan­der. And the “medi­um-core girl-boy plinkpop!” Penelop­ing also have a very good rep­u­ta­tion as a live act. Hav­ing expe­ri­enced Late Night Ses­sions many times before — from the point of view both of a per­former and a patron — I can hearti­ly rec­om­mend this event.
