Wellington quartet Drax Project started out as a fixture of the Friday night Cuba Street busking scene with drummer Matt Beachen and saxophonist Shaan Singh jamming for rent money. Their improvised interpretations of pop favourites attracted a loyal following, some extra band mates; with Sam Thomson on bass and Ben O'Leary on guitar, and sold-out gigs.
Releasing their second EP T/W/OO earlier this month, Drax Project enlisted Devon Abrams (Pacific Heights, ex-Shapeshifter) on production duties to record at Wellington's Blue Barn Studios.
Returning to scene of many late night studio sessions, Yadana Saw joins the band for a live, stripped back session of original and interpreted tunes.
