MONO Presents: Dr. Reknaw with Horizone & Friends
2021-04-29 20:00 - 2021-04-30 01:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Ngaio Marsh Theatre – Haere-roa, Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand
Born and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand these children of the sun advocate for Papatuanuku (Mother Earth), plant medicine, social/environmental justice, indigenous rights and honoring Tikanga Maori.
Founded by sisters Julia (lead vocals) and Sophie Cooper (vocals/bass), Dr. Reknaw has grown into an empowering groove-machine. The band is an eight piece formation that
includes driving rhythms, uplifting harmonies and enchanting horns.
A year after the release of their first EP ‘Earthly Delights’, Dr. Reknaw are thrilled to be celebrating their debut studio album with a nation wide tour.
‘REKTIFIED’ is a 9 track journey, through soul, roots, hip-hop and psychedelic sounds, seamlessly woven together over some of the most grooving rhythms. The two sisters etherial vocals share messages of love and wisdom, while the other 6 doctors have decorated this sonic masterpiece with mouthwatering colours and the most uplifting sounds. This incredible album was recorded at the surgery studios, and produced by Toby Lloyd ( Tiny Triumph Productions).
Ready to create waves of good vibrations around Aotearoa, Dr. Reknaw are coming to a town near you this April, bringing the live set of your dreams.
——————————————————————————
Horizone is one of New Zealand’s freshest new funky dub bands which was born out of the necessity for a post-earthquake Christchurch music scene. Josh Burke (Vocals) and Matty Coleman (Bass) were working on an acoustic music project when they decided to expand their acoustic duo to a full 5 piece band, which set the stage for Tyler Robbins (Drums), Mattisse Kennedy (Guitar) and Saba Charles (Keyboards) to join the band to form what is now known as Horizone
The sound of Horizone is broad and is constantly overflowing into new musical genres. “Shine”(2019) has a chill reggae vibe and is inspired by NZ legends, The Black Seeds and Fat Freedy’s Drop. Other songs like “Gravity” (2018) have influences that come from the early days of Salmonella Dub.
​In this modern age of an ever-changing music industry, Horizone pride themselves on being an independent entity with a DIY attitude which has propelled them to be able to write, record, produce, master, film, tour, host events, and sell merchandise independently.

Exhibition “TRUE LOVE: A Tribute to Grant Lingard”
2021-04-29 10:00 - 2021-05-28 16:00 | Ilam Campus Gallery, School of Fine Arts Building 2, University of Canterbury, Ilam Campus Gallery, School of Fine Arts Building 2, University of Canterbury
Thu 29th April – Friday 28th May – 10:00am to 4:00pm – Ilam Campus Gallery, School of Fine Arts Building 2, University of Canterbury
⠀
Grant Lingard was many things: from a West Coast mining family, he was a snappy dresser, an avid collector of everything from action-toy figurines to records, a Punk Disco dancer, a storyteller, an instigator of the Christchurch Artists’ Collective, companion to his black cat Black Cat, a graduate of the School of Fine Arts programme, and, of course, a gay man at a moment when attitudes towards homosexuality, and the law, were changing.⠀
⠀
If he has the distinction of being ‘…considered by many to be New Zealand’s leading gay visual artist’[1], he was also a victim of the tragedy that struck the gay community in the 1980s: AIDS. With his death Aotearoa New Zealand lost an artist and art activist of significance too soon, his legacy left barely revealed. Perhaps this is a failure to acknowledge “queer art heroes”, or because the 1980s are easy to forget, or because his work had ephemeral, feral qualities that make its collection and preservation difficult.⠀
⠀
While TRUE LOVE cannot fill the void, 25 years later, we hope to contribute to an ongoing discussion about this wonderful, queer person. It is our (im)provisional response to Grant, his memory, his artwork.⠀
⠀
Grant’s art alongside that from Bronwyn Takle, Diane Miller, Gary Freemantle, Gina Ferguson, Graham McFelin, Grant Takle, Jeremiah Boniface, Jessica Douglas, Julian Holcroft, Michael Armstrong, Paul Dew, Paul Johns, Paul Rayner, Richard Reddaway, Ruth Watson, Sara Ayad, Sandra Bushby, Seraphine Pick, Simon Morris, Teri Johnson, Terry Urbahn and Trevor Fry. Catalogue essays by David Herkt and Peter Derksen.

What a line up for the final Mono of Term 1

Body Ocean is an exploration project through dance music from international artists Jeremy (The Upbeats) and Nik (Noisia).

The duo met through the drum and bass scene and formed a close friendship over international waters of New Zealand and the Netherlands, with a love of each other’s countries, culture and music taste.

Body Ocean is the musical equivalent of rushing out onto the beach to dive headfirst into the rolling waves, instinctively surrendering to the dance between your body and the ocean.

————————————————————————–
Aroha is a fully-fledged music industry icon, accentuating her renowned tastemaker stamp and creating moods for music enthusiasts across the seas.

Notably acclaimed for her club-ready set lists that evoke the crowds before her, AROHA navigates a sure-fire trim of the most unique, energetic and driving musical attire across house and techno with hues of future garage, jungle, drum & bass, post-dubstep and UK bass – truly aligning with her studio signature.

Fusing a sheer devotion for music that moves people in every way and creating her own lane, she has claimed repeated festival spots at the likes of Rhythm & Vines, Northern Bass, Homegrown, Electric Avenue, Rhythm & Alps and Soundsplash

Beccie-B has been taking the scene by storm! This Wahine Toa has been spinning 4/4 and DnB at events all throughout Christchurch and is set to throw down at Mono Bringing influence from Flava D make sure you get down early

Mono Presents: Hot Donnas, Kimono & Friends

Since 2017, Dunedin four-piece Hot Donnas have been creating music primed to get bodies moving, heads banging and brains hooked on their infectious melodies and fired up rock attitude. Fresh off the back of the release of their fired up single ‘Two Brains’, Dunedin-based rock group Hot Donnas release their new EP, ‘The Adventures of E-WAN’.
Across six tracks, the EP dives into a rich blend of indie, grunge and surf-rock sounds that provides a definitive picture of the band Hot Donnas have flourished into over their last year of performing, writing and recording. The record is long-lasting in its impact and quality; this is a statement of intent from Hot Donnas. An introduction to some, and an exciting update for fans who have been with them since their 2017 debut album, Greek Yoghurt. Hot Donnas have been releasing music and touring consistently throughout NZ and even out to Australia in the three years since their debut. Their energy on stage is unmatched and with their new music ready to go, the band is champing at the bit for their return to touring.
KIMONO is a four-piece indie rock band hailing from Ōtautahi, Aotearoa. With heavy influence from local indie rockers, to classic Funk, obscure Jazz, and psych rock KIMONO is on a one-way ticket to froth. Join them as they craft a path through the unknown, and have a jolly good time.

—-
Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence. This dynamic show will go straight to your head!
Reefer Madness is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary. It involves mature themes including drug use, sex, rape, and violence. It may therefore be inappropriate for younger audiences.
