Bengal Lights
Two-piece Rock'N'Roll duo from Auckland. They were tremendous on A Low Hum's 2nd to last tour, with drummer Zoe Fleury belting it out (and singing too) from behind the kit while Maeve Munro played feedback-drenched guitar and sang from up front. Very cool. Only release was a split single with The Lover Haters.
