Ditzy Squall, the original angular
three-piece from New Zealand, are Chrissie Butler, Aaron Lloydd, and
Kieran Monaghan.
Performing their own intense compositions, Ditzy Squall draws upon
musical styles such as punk, drone inspired minimalism, and the mutant
bastard variant of the rock format.
The release of their new CD titled skirt, independently recorded and
released through skirted records coincided with an April 2005 tour to
eastern Europe with the maniacal mr sterile Assembly (NZ) and Sabot
(CZ) and to Japan with Limited Express (has gone?) and Ni hao.
Unwilling to be pigeon holed, Dizty Squall have performed in the
Alleluya noise festival, the Wellington International Jazz Festival,
and Punkfest2005. Touring both the North and South Island in 2005, DS
plans more of the same in the new year plus a return trip to Japan(and
hopefully China) mid-year.
