Wellington based 7 piece band FAMILY CACTUS have recently released their much anticipated album 'Come Howling' In celebration of their debut release, they have just completed a NZ Tour.
They are playing the Red Bull Studio Live Session on Thursday 24th September @ 330pm.
The seven piece group of Wellington based musicians have impressed many and have gathered a strong following from supporting bands such as Okkervil River, playing at this years CAMP A LOW HUM, the 95bFM Summer Series and Fancy New Band event, the MTV Midwinter Party, The ASB Gardens Magic in Wellington and various other shows throughout NZ.
Catch Family Cactus at this years Fashion Week when they play a Red Bull Studio Live gig at ANZFW on Saturday the 26th September at 7pm
The band have a combined musical background stemming from rock, country, blues and pop, the group features members from notable New Zealand bands including The Accelerants, The Brunettes, The Nudie Suits, Grand Prix, The Cosbys, The Bonnie Scarlets – among others.
Musically, with all members bringing their own bag of references, one might wonder what the outcome would be. The seven Family Cactus members produce a sound with elements of Radiohead, The Arcade Fire, Beirut and the E Street Band; a sound that can be boisterous and aggressive, or calm and intricate.
