Once again the amazing Otis Mace Combo ventures forth to the lovely Cupid bar to dish up some more dishy and demented melodramatic reptilian lounge folk, this time with the added zest of Amy Shuang Wang on bass for most of the set . By simply adding the addition of another member to the Combo, suddenly "crunch" the trio becomes a quartet ! hey , you do the math, ok ?
Those of you familiar with the this beloved group will know that this allows John Segovia to play the steel guitar in the lap of luxury.
Amy's band - "Raging Flowers" wowed the crowd at our last gig , but this time we have a most spectacular and erudite act on the bill in the form of WILDCARDS AOTEROA .
Wild Cards Aotearoa
Wild Cards Aotearoa, from Ōtepoti Dunedin, are ex-New Zealand Poet Laureate David
Eggleton, with guitarist and vocalist Richard Wallis, and bassist Hiliako Iaheto (of award-
winning Pasifika reggae band 'Koile). Be sure to catch this jazz-bop-beatnik poet, freestyling
op-shop surrealist and rhyming carnival barker, backed by top musicians!
