Jakob

Jakob is a New Zealand post-rock band, based in Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The band consists of guitarist Jeff Boyle; bassist Maurice Beckett; and drummer Jason Johnston. They have been compared to such bands as Mogwai, Sonic Youth, and HDU, though they largely eschew any vocals or samples in their songs. The band formed in July 1998, and began by opening for New Zealand bands Salmonella Dub and Pitch Black at the local pub O'Flaherty's. They toured extensively throughout 1999, releasing that same year a self-titled EP recorded with David Holmes at Napier's Venn Production Studios.

In early 2010AD, TYSARC (an acronym for The Ympersand Suspended Animation Research Centre ) formed as an open collective, conducting experiments within improvised sound and music. Session inspirations come from environment, mentality and instrument availability, and the extended aural explorations span many musical aesthetics and sonic textural forms, yet consistently excite, hypnotize and envelop both collective members and audiences alike.

The Duchesses

The Duchesses sound is the manifestation of four musicians from very different backgrounds. Their broad spectrum of influences is evident in their atmospheric music, which transcends arbitrary genres. Not satisfied with following trends, the Duchesses have forged their own unique sound.
