"I think that when we are engaged in our music, whether it be in the studio or performing live, our first concern is the dynamic direction of the song. Where is it going to peak? Where will the quietest point be?"
"Draw the audience in here… Blow them out there. We collectively try to create a journey without sounding contrived & have made a conscious decision to use influences from the experimental, psychedelic Rock era of the 60's & 70's: Led Zep, Jimi Hendrix, The Who."
"It is inside these poignant creations that we find the perfect balance of social concern & a 'no fear' form of expressionism.
Love, Hate, Turmoil, Moonbeams, Politics, Family, Pegasus & The Universe. All of the above with the lights off. Unashamed self indulgence resulting in sated emotional exhaustion… beautiful."

New album for Little Bushman Posted: Thu Feb 11, 2010 3:42 pm LITTLE BUSHMAN - NEW ALBUM IN STORES 22 FEBRUARY 2010!! Recorded live at the WellingtonTown Hall on October the 23rd 2009, this was a collaboration of historic amplitude, an unforgettable experience that is now available to all. With orchestral arrangements by NZ Composer and Laureate recipient John Psathas, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra became an orchestral tsunami behind the already electrifying psychedelic blues quartet, Little Bushman. Available in all good music stores and online through amplifier.co.nz on 22nd February 2010 ‘Little Bushman live in concert with the NZSO’ showcases not only the band’s unparalleled, dynamic 60’s inspired psychedelic blues, but also the lush complexities delivered by the NZSO, lifting the Bushman’s songs to a level of intensity that could only be achieved with this type of symphonic partnership. In the words of Bushman front man Warren Maxwell (ex Trinity Roots/Fat Freddys Drop) “with this collaboration you have one major head spin of an experience!” With cinematic inspired photography by Pat Shepherd (Exposure Magazine), beautifully collated by noted illustrator and graphic designer Andrew Shaw (past work includes Insider’s Guide to Love & Aftershock) this is equally worth owning for the sheer beauty of the cover art. Recorded and mixed by Graham Kennedy (Radio NZ), mastered by Mike Gibson of Inca Productions, and including access to a free video download of “Peaceful Man” taken straight from the concert, this is one top quality package that you must take home!
