Powerfully crafted indie noise rock curated by an exciting and utterly convincing new talent from Wellington
Bleeding Star was Jude Savage, Carlos Bellamy, Kindekel Banda- Moyes and Otis Hill. Inspired by the long marriage of melody and noise they deliver a set of carefully considered cuts that are disarmingly raw and intuitively crafted.
Bleeding Star were fortunate enough to be on some choice bills including a performance supporting Daffodils and The Lazy Eyes and successful shows at Auckland’s Others Way festival, The Newtown festival 2023 and the Island Bay festival. They were also the band was voted #1 on Wellington’s Radio Active for their home bedroom recorded demo February.
Bleeding Star members Jude Savage and Carlos Bellamy went on to form Dropper. Dropper’s music carries both the weight of loss and the urgency of renewal. The band’s name pays homage to the Aotearoa, Wellington-based four-piece, Bleeding Star, whose album Dropper, was the third and final project guitarist Otis Hill played on before passing away due to a rare cancer in 2024 at the age of 17.
