LIVE
HANGMAN performs reqularly at venues and events throughout New Zealand:
“Hangman mixes up some funk, and rock with snippets of hip hop and ska. A couple of funky instrumentals to start with seemed like familar territiry for Stu with clean-ish skanky guitar parts. As the set rolled on the vocals came in an the sound got heavier and edged slightly into RATM territory with superb results. Stu’s ambient noise-making contributions were a highlight, with lots of feedback, neck-bending, thumping on the body and so-on. Brent does an amazing job as front man, with chatter, singing and some ON THE MONEY bass work. That was one of the best sets I’ve seen at a small venue. I loved it.”
