Love Square are performing their first show at Kumeu Live. This three-piece will happily be hustled and shooed into Kumeu Arts' work room. Get close up to the sonic presence that is Love Square! You can feel the metallic swish and clunk of Finn Scholes' trumpet valves as he readies his fingers for a dazzling cadenza. The clicks and pops from Nick Atkinson's saxophone keys add a percussive layer that you can only sense in such an intimate room. Alistair Deverick has his right heel off the ground, his toes poised on the edge of his bass-drum pedal. Cymbals shimmer and wash before he detonates a booming note from his kick.The rhythms are exotic, reeled in on fine lines from the Bolivian highlands and the head-waters of the Blue Nile in Ethiopia. Skanks from the Caribbean swim upstream past the jazz of New Orleans toward the soul of the great lakes. The regime of hand percussion alone reads like pirates shopping list. A guiro, three tambourines, four maraca, five golden rings, a silver triangle, Christmas bells, woodblocks, a single silver triangle and lastly shakers... two hands full! There may also be three members of the saxophone family involved and you never know how many Scholes' will turn up.
Doors open at 7.30pm. Show is from 8.00-9.45ish. BYO, Tickets on UTR and at the door, ample parking next to venue.
