Condenser Play The Cure And Joy Division

About this show

Condenser are Wellington punk rock stalwarts who've been kicking against the pricks since 1980. The trio — James on drums, PJ on bass, and Nigel on guitar — deliver a raw, high-energy sound rooted in the genre's incendiary origins.But Condenser is more than a band. James, Nigel, and PJ are all veterans of the Wellington scene, having cut their teeth in noted acts including Condemned Sector, Neoteric Tribesmen, the Resurrectionists and Compos Mentis — groups that helped shape the Wellington sound and foster a spirit of rebellion that still resonates today.AT this gig you can expect a tightly packed set of classic covers:The Cure's first album Boys Don't Cry (1979), andJoy Divisions seminal album Unknown PleasuresCondenser don't just perform punk and post-punk, they carry its living history, connecting the dots between Wellington's punk past and its present, and keeping the flame burning bright in New Zealand.Supported by our good friends, the amazingly talented Los Punkys, with their crazy blend of high energy latin punk fusion.
