Event details: Spartacus R - Palmerston North
Description
Kiwi psychedelic rock band Spartacus R play live at Bar Mode to celebrate the release of their new album ‘When the Fever Takes Hold’.
With support from Ryan Prebble.
A quest for an original listening experience has seen Spartacus R develop a head-spinning live act. Based on a foundation of blues, rock and funk, Spartacus R break loose on stage with sprawling soundscapes that explores as much as it entertains.
The Wellington six-piece psychedelic psychonauts Spartacus R have developed an enigmatic profile in their hometown through their groundbreaking productions for the New Zealand Fringe Festival, Spartacus R in Octophonic (Fringe 07) and Spartacus R's Delusions (Fringe 08) which featured a live audio-visual extravaganza set to original 3D film vignettes and showcased on TVNZ's One News.
The album ‘When the Fever Takes Hold’ has spent considerable time in incubation since it was conceived in 2007, recorded at Wellington's legendary The Surgery with the production wizardry of Dr Lee Prebble (Phoenix Foundation, Black Seeds, Trinity Roots).
It is an album that challenges the current musical fixation with iPod-friendly singles, featuring eight tracks – some of which are long psychedelic rock jams to immerse the listener in an aural experience not delivered by any other New Zealand band.
‘When the Fever Takes Hold’ is released January 5th, 2009 Through Border Distribution.
With support from Ryan Prebble.
