fredstock, the frederick street sound and light exploration society's annual festival, 2010


radio cegeste was invited to perform at Fredstock 2010, a festival of experimental music and sound, hosted by the Frederick Street Sound and Light Exploration Society, a venue space in central Wellington, run on the smell of an oily rag by Daniel Beban, Nell Thomas and friends, and part of a long tradition of free-jazz and improvisationally-oriented underground performance spaces in the city, stretching back over a decade.
