Capital Blues Presents: King Oyster

This is one of THE best bands in Wellington.

Driving grooves, classy funk, outstanding musicians. That’s what you get from King Oyster.

The band is Oscar Laven on sax, Blain Fitzpatick on bass, Matthew Fitpatrick on guitar, and Jacob Randall on drums. One look at those names, and you know you are in for some remarkable playing.

A surrealist funk/fusion outfit blending shreddy guitar, sax, bass, and drums into a kaleidoscope of grooves. Their music spins between aggressive funk, jazz fusion, and playful originals, drawing influence from Jaco Pastorius, John Scofield, Primus, Billy Cobham, and George Benson.

This is the first time that King Oyster has played for Capital Blues so come and see why we were so keen to get them.
