Bonniesongs and Aleister James

We're lucky to be hosting Australian art-folk virtuoso Bonniesongs in New Zealand which makes this a rare international lineup! Dreamy experimental folk with an indie rock charm.

Art-folk virtuoso Bonniesongs, aka Bonnie Stewart, released her debut album Energetic Mind in September 2019 via Small Pond and Art As Catharsis. The album has been proclaimed as one of the top albums of 2019 by Nialler 9, Gold Flake Paint, Low End Theorists, and many more.
While previously described as “dreamy experimental indie folk”, Energetic Mind sees Bonniesongs exploring heavier and darker material while also retaining the charm of her earlier releases. Bonnie explains I think the album is a balance of this ethereal soft sound but also a lot of darker grungy undertones have crept in.

Energetic Mind singles 'Coo Coo', ‘Ice Cream’, ‘Barbara’, and ‘Frank’ have garnered international radio plays from BBC Radio 6, Triple J, FBi Radio, and RTRFM, as well as press coverage from Paste Magazine, London In Stereo, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH, Tone Deaf, Everything Is Noise, Overdrive Magazine, and a host more.

Bonnie has put together a Wellington band of local legends Callum Allardile, Shaun Anderson and Tom Botting.

Support from local psychedelic hip-rock wizard Aleister James!
