The magnificent, the majestic, the masters of some of the most sublime mind-bending music ever made. Mogwai.
One of the best loved and most ground-breaking rock bands of the past three decades, Mogwai’s reputation is as vast as their thunderous music. Their incendiary live performances are known for their intensity and sonic brilliance captivating audiences with their expansive dynamic range. Mogwai shift seamlessly between delicate, mellow, tranquil melody, atmospheric soundscapes, hypnotic driving krautrock, through to pile driving headbangers and pummelling earthquake riffs.
Witnessing Mogwai perform live is a fully immersive experience – seeing, hearing and feeling a band and a sound like no other. Lost in music. You bet.
Bringing their legendary live ferocity back to New Zealand for the first time in nine years, unleashing their colossal sound in all its beauty and rage at Auckland’s Powerstation last night, Ambient Light had Nick Paulsen there to capture the moments via his photographic eye – check it all out below!
