HBAF 2020 Presents - Soaked Oats

Hailing from Dunedin, Soaked Oats have played festivals in the UK, toured Australasia and the US and created a collection of sweet, summery tasting songs.

2020 saw the band take a step up, appearing at festivals such as WOMAD and Laneways. Consisting of Oscar Mein on the larynx and mamba, Henry Francis on the bubble stick, Max Holmes on the blue whale and Conor Feehly wielding the gorilla sticks.

Described as “a southern stew of Kurt Vile and Mac DeMarco with a good shake of Kevin Morby”, the sound of Soaked Oats is full of whirling guitars, sweet melodies and surf rock drums.

With wildly uplifting tunes, they bring pure joy to their fans. This indie sludge-pop group have become known for endearing, high energy live performances. So get ready to chow down and get your fill of some delicious, high-energy Soaked Oats.

Supported by local bands Hot Janola and Arlo Mac this will be an epic night out following Nuit Blanche - Art after Dark in Napier’s Arts Quarter.
