Yonatan Gat + Girlpool

Former Monotonix guitarist Yonatan Gat goes solo in his new musical adventure. You’ve never encountered such a blend of different streams of music colliding in one single project. Girlpool are a couple of high-school friends from L.A. straight out of The Smell (y’know, same as HEALTH, No Age, Mika Miko). Their fast rock songs come out as raw and highly expressive as Bikini Kill feminist rants, while they also allow themselves to put a stronger emphasis on lo-fi sweet tunes.

As far away from the three-chord strummers as it’s possible to be, Yonatan Gat is a dizzyingly talented virtuoso guitarist whose versatility is matched by his dexterity. A former member of Monotonix, since striking out on his own he’s applied his talents to rock, psychedelic, free jazz, and African music, as well as numerous collaborations with Portuguese drummer Igor Domingues. He’s signed to Joyful Noise, which is a pretty apt description of his stunning riffs.

Girlpool are a couple of high-school friends from L.A. straight out of The Smell (y’know, same as HEALTH, No Age, Mika Miko). Their fast rock songs come out as raw and highly expressive as Bikini Kill feminist rants, while they also allow themselves to put a stronger emphasis on lo-fi sweet tunes.

Wellingtonian experimental artist Craig Elliot will open this night with his DIY approach to songwriting. Expect a proper blend of different genres and sound landscapes from an artist who always takes the unexpected turns and dares to surprise different audiences.
