House of Pleiades is the name of a band we are playing with on Friday July 3rd at the Loons Club in Lyttleton, 16 Canterbury Street. This show will be celebrating cultural diversity and unity, using music as a medium. The show starts at 8 pm, $10.
House of Pleiades is more than a band. It is a house with a foundation. There are pillars inside and all peoples and cultures come together inside this house. We can all play music together in one band, or occupy one of the pillars inside the House.
One of the interesting and real unifying aspect of the pleiades is the connection of these stars to many cultures through their mythology and history. Jimmy Brennan and Tini Te Rangiita have created this band/project with an ancient ancestor, the pleiades, as a core inspiration.
