Bio

In 2015, the musical landscape of Dunedin, experienced a seismic shift as Saurian emerged, destined to be more than just a band—it was a sonic revolution. Navigating the twists and turns of musical evolution, Karl Brinsdon, the vocal and guitar maestro; Logan Wichman, the foundation on bass; and Josh Tuiavii, the rhythmic pulse on drums. A notable (temporary) hiatus by rhythm guitarist, Cameron Ellis, led to the arrival of the extraordinary Kat Haque, proving that even temporary members must meet the gold standard.

Now, about the sonic elixir that is Saurian. Picture this: the raw power of Guns N' Roses, the gritty intensity of Soundgarden, the rebellious spirit of Nirvana, and the flamboyance of The Darkness—all rolled into one. Yes, it's as majestic as it sounds. Fast forward to 2023, etched into musical history as the year Saurian gifted the mortal world with Octopedal Rock Unit, an EP that set out to prove that rock is far from dead. The lead single Sheep’s Clothing achieved international radio play while Gobstopper proved to be a tune so irresistible that it racked up over 10,000 Spotify streams. Not that we're keeping count...

Now, let's talk about the spectacle that is a Saurian live show. We provide an arena rock show at the pub around the corner, high energy experiences that leave audiences
electrified. Picture Karl Brinsdon commanding the stage like a rock deity, Logan Wichman and Josh Tuiavii forming a tight rhythm unit, and Kat Haque effortlessly filling any gaps in this wall of sound. We've taken this electrifying energy on tours around the South Island, spreading the good news that rock n roll is here to stay. From Invercargill to Dunedin to Blenheim, Saurian's live show is the stuff of legends, and we're just getting started.
