Andrew London – Satirical wordsmith and guitar-slinger, delivering original tunes that skewer middle-class neuroses with a grin.
Kirsten London – Wields the bass with sass and style, and provides perfect backing vocals.
Wayne Mason – Iconic Kiwi songwriter and founding member of The Fourmyula (yes, that “Nature” song!) brings lyrical brilliance and keyboard magic.
Expect a genre-bending set of swing, jazz, country, and rhythm & blues—think Manhattan Transfer meets Flight of the Conchords, served with a dry martini and a wink.
Perfect for: fans of smart lyrics, nostalgic grooves, and a side of mischief with their melody.
