The Sendam Rawkustra is a multi-headed rhythm beast which first emerged from the murky depths of the south Wellington mental health scene almost ten years ago. Many line-up changes, five rehearsal studios, one album, several name-spellings, and dozens of gigs later, the Rawkustra continues, under the inspirational encouragement of Andreas Lepper (Balkanistas) and Kieran ‘Mr Sterile Assembly’ Monaghan, and with the episcopal endorsement of Bishop Justin Duckworth, to bring its unique percussive, improvisational soundscapes to local audiences.
