MAX CROOK ANATHEMA

  • Point Chevalier RSA 1136 New North Road Auckland, Auckland, 1025 New Zealand (map)

Max Crook's Anathema

Set to explore new aspects of familiar territory. The listener should expect to hear echos of a recognizable lineage, with the inclusion of tunes by giants such Coltrane, Monk, and Shorter that helped to define aspects of their age. But, with the addition of the bands unique approach; creating sets of improvised interludes framing an overarching musical narrative for the night. Expect vehemence.

Consisting of:

Felix Hayes-Tourelle - Saxophones

Connor McAneny - Piano

Tom Dennison - Upright Bass

Max Crook - Drums and Cymbals

Members $10 cash

Non-members $25 cash
