Once upon a time, the great Polynesian explorer Kupe paid a visit to our region, followed a few centuries later by Captain James Cook. Later, the small seaside township of Whitianga became renowned for its kauri sawmilling, and laid out the permanent settlement of the town.
A leap across ‘the ditch’ in 1991 catapulted New Zealander Elizabeth Kyle into an unexpected life as a highly regarded Visionary Surrealist / Mystical Symbolist artist and gallery owner in Australia. Elizabeth’s journey began in Katikati where she showed early signs of artistic flair. Her forward-thinking parents allowed her to study at Tauranga Girls’ College under the tutelage of the legendary Claudia Jarman.
Last December, Luke Steele invited me to play the drums with him and his father, Rick Steele, at a pre-Christmas gig. Despite my initial concerns about not having at least one rehearsal, Luke assured me we’d be fine.
With a striking mustache and unique energy, Lucas Rocha is the DJ who connects the soul of Brazil to dance floors worldwide.
