Celebrate Psi Phenomenon

Celebrate Psi Phenomenon is a drone, noise and experimental music-focused label from Upper Hutt's Campbell Kneale, the prolific performer behind Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel. The label often utilises a distinctive wallpaper aesthetic to their cover designs. The label was particularly prolific from the mid 1990s until around 2008. #nzmusic #experimentalmusic #dronemusic #celebratepsiphenomenon

The Ho’ Dogs

Extremely wild Dunedin old-school rock'n'roll from a handful of underground experimental or lo-fi musicians.

Birchville Cat Motel

Extremely prolific Wellington experimental sound-artist who also records his given name of Campbell Kneale, and as a founding member of such varied performance outfits as Lugosi, Hataitai Bowling Club, Black Boned Angel etc. Kneale has been making music since the mid 90's, accumulating a vast amount of (usually) limited edition CDr releases and building a name for himself overseas, were he receives a considerably higher profile (though due to the nature of his music - quite abstract, this popularity is limited to an appreciative cult following).
