MELTING FACES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The psychedelic garage folk blues soundscape that is Melting Faces formed with Jesse Walsh and Blair Clarke in 2009. Playing together in a grunge covers band and wanting to explore an original soulful endeavour, they started jamming on their own. Here Keith Cramlington enters and played bass to the primordial jams that grew into Melting Faces. They played their first gig at Happy (now Puppies), Wellington with Ben Lovell on drums and a snarling punk crowd in attendance. Ben Lovell was invited to the gig to sway his mind and by the end of the night Melting Faces was made.
Melting Faces have performed across New Zealand: Here in the Wellington area they've played SFBH, Bodega, Puppies, Mighty Mighty, the Empire as well as playing the boutique Festival Alien Nation while having shared the stage with notable Wellington Acts: Brockaflowersaurus Rex and the Blueberry Biscuits, Funkacyben, Polter, Killing Bear, Solsona, The Shadow Blasters and with sounds resembling an amalgamation of Sly and the Family Stone, Elliott Smith, Pearl Jam, jr Kimbrough, Pink Floyd - this is an Act that crosses genres.
