One of Southland’s most dynamic live acts is taking over Queenstown’s Yonder this Saturday night.

Rhythmonyx, a nine-piece, gender-bending powerhouse original music band’s performing their latest self-produced and mixed single, Bones, which was written, recorded, produced and mixed entirely in-house at the band’s Invercargill CBD jam room, along with the latest versions of some of their crowd-favourite tracks.

They’ve also filmed a full-length music video to accompany the new single, produced by Nick McGrath and James Wilkinson of Second Beer — that’ll be released in Invercargill next Saturday.

Band member Rhys White says the track, mastered by Troy Kelly at Wellington’s The Armoury Studio, something each member can be proud of.

"The initial goal was to record, produce and mix the new song in-house and keep the whole process as simple as possible, something I realised very quickly that was almost impossible for a band of this size, but we persevered.

"We blended produced drums, keys and recorded bass with live sessions, and did it all in our jam room where we’re most comfortable — that energy really comes through in the track."

White says Rhythmonyx will be supported at Yonder by Invercargill-based MC PHX, and local legends Jahfire and DJs Sohai and Nihilism.

"It will be a a full evening of good vibes and creativity, and we’re looking forward to playing to a Queenstown crowd — they always bring high energy and good times supporting original music, and we’re stoked to have Jahfire performing, too."

‘Rhythmonyx Live at Yonder’ kicks off from 9pm on Saturday — tickets cost $25 plus fees, via ticketfairy.com
