House on Haunted Hill - Avian Relic Rockers

Whanganui esoteric surf-trash combo, House on Haunted Hill, played their first foray into the mortal realm on May 3oth to celebrate New Zealand Music Month.

The gig one of a series organised by the Whanganui Regional Musuem, saw HOHH, play in the bird room, a display of stuffed native birds, providing an eerie locale for the first recital of this long, un-dead, musical form.

Playing to around 30-40 people of all ages, the surf quintet grave-rock'd the usually quiet peace of the Museum, filling the whare with their uniquely chilling ambience.

Reverend Tape Ghost is pure apparition as he beats the skins.

Tape Ghost Scientist, experiments on his guitar.

No.5 and Alchemist conduct the whole ghoulish spectacle.

Tape Nurse may look sweet but her medicine kills or cures.

No.5 throws spooky shapes.

The House on Haunted Hill rule the roost!
