Bio

The Sun Kings are a Wellington alternative rock band with Andy Marsh, Andy Galinski, Steve Hughes, Claire Fraser and Matt Whimp - often gigging around Welly and in the recording "studio" (aka the back bedroom)

Wellington local indie legends – a five piece guitar based band with their feet firmly stuck in UK 90’s indie rock. Three of the band hail from the UK - Andy Marsh (guitar and vocals), Steve Hughes (bass), Andy Galinski (guitar), and our most recent additions Matt Whimp (drums) and Claire Fraser (vocals), our resident kiwis.

The band are at home live belting out their blend of rock and not caring to catch up with current musical trends. The band wears their Oasis and Britpop influence both loudly and visually whilst having their own distinctive sound and approach live. The Sun Kings have firmly kept their feet in the Wellington region, eschewing fame and fortune to focus on artistic purity (essentially not wanting to drive further than Kapiti or Upper Hutt), following the maxim that happiness truly begins at home.

The band write and produce their own material – they have released two albums; “milestones” a collection of early demos, and “never look straight at the sun” their first full release. You can see and hear how the song writing and production has progressed, with the release of EPs “Glass Made Tie”, “The Morning and the Light” and most recently "Sand Dunes".

The current focus for the band is recording their long pipeline of new material, and of course belting out their music live!
