Pōneke-based Kita bonds the folk, soul, storytelling and guitar of Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant with the thick lush sounds of Moog synth and Fender Rhodes from Ed Zuccollo (Zuke), and the filthy drive and barking psychedelic drums of Rick Cranson (Little Bushman, The Woods).
Kita have an exciting summer ahead playing Splore, Womad, Tora Bombora, 121 Festival - and more to be announced. Don't miss your chance to catch them right here in Whāingaroa, Raglan - where they will be supported by local soulful songstress, Tukana.
After releasing an EP and debut album with Grammy-Award winning producer Tommaso Colliva (Muse, Razorlight) during the two years of the pandemic; KITA are now back in studio between Aotearoa and Milan to release EP ‘Love Lives Here’ in 2023 with the support of NZ label AAA (Troy King/French for Rabbits). An exciting 4 part-filmic experience that shares the narrative of the music is also in the making; led by front-wāhine actor and poet, Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant, to be seen in 2024.
Kita have been described as a must-see live band with a massive sound, despite just being a three-piece. Fronted by Taiwan-born wāhine Nikita 雅涵 Tu-Bryant; she describes her main motivation as finding common ground between differences through her various forms of Artistry, also having been nominated for awards in film, theatre, music and poetry. Zuccollo, the man behind the 1970s mini-moog and rhodes has been labelled a synth master whose intuitive playing has appeared on a plethora of records. Cutting his teeth as a keys player for bands such as The Black Seeds, Trinity Roots, Rhian Sheehan, Troy Kingi, and OPIUO; he is also a producer known as ZUKE. Cranson, their drummer who effortlessly plays between genres, has worked on an extensive range of musical projects over the years, from solo material to NZ psychedelic rock band Little Bushman, and jazz group The Woods.
Come see KITA at The Yard, one night only on Dec 30th 2022.
