If the last twelve months have belonged to any one artist in Aotearoa, it must surely be Hun Lynch. Hun (Hannah) Lynch (Pakeha, Fiji, Samoa) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans theatre, film, and writing. Her compositions have been featured across stage and screen, as well being a regular fixture on the likes of RNZ, 95bFM, and NTS.
Her feature film acting debut Mum I’m Alien Pregnant recently premiered at Sundance Film Festival to elated applause, and she was introduced to the world at large as a musician to be taken seriously via Neil Finn’s Infinity Sessions streaming show series. Finally, in April of this year, Hun Lynch’s first full-length sonic tapestry ‘Sycophant’, with a very special one-off album celebration just announced at Tāmaki Makaurau’s new musical haven Kāhui St David’s.
A self-recorded and produced kind of “aural cinema”, Sycophant was mixed by mixed by acclaimed engineer Paddy Hill at Roundhead Studios, and arrived through Noa Records. Hun Lynch wades reflective tides on Sycophant, distilling her expansive creative vocabulary into a sound that is as theatrical and poetic as it is intimate.
Joining Hun Lynch on the gloriously restored Kāhui St David's stage will be an all-star band; Navakatoa Tekela-Pule (LEAO) is on guitars, Tiare Kelly (Erny Belle) on synths and SP404, De Stevens (Marlin's Dreaming) joins on bass, and Hamish Morgan (Marlin's Dreaming) behind the drums and electronics, with Roundhead’s chief in command Paddy Hill on live mix FX.
Further evidence that this will be no ordinary gig is the hand-picked opening act for the evening; a theatrical solo clown performance from Sean Dioneda Rivera. ‘Our Own Private Rapture’ is Sean’s search for the divine ecstatic (the dynamic sublime) amidst the mundanity of daily life. A priest becomes the clown, rock star, bouffon, storyteller, fool, and counsellor in these 7-15 minutes sent from heaven.
Tickets are on sale now from www.undertheradar.co.nz, with waged and unwaged options to ensure nobody misses out. This will be special.
