Wave Machine

Wave Machine are a Hastings-based band delivering a dynamic blend of grunge, punk, and surf-inspired sounds, driven by gritty bass lines and powerful harmonies. Their music will resonate with fans of Courtney Barnett, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sleater-Kinney, Hole, and Blondie.

Lead singer and guitarist Liz Power, known for her work with Los Bitchos and Ligers, writes passionately about themes of motherhood, queer love, friendship, and feminist angst. She is joined by Liv Long, whose stunning harmonies complement Liz’s grit, while adding infectious synth hooks that linger in your brain. On drums, Dulcie Wood delivers a relentless, high-energy beat that drives the band forward, while Andy Becker (whose past credits include Purs and Kid Wave) lays down bass lines brimming with unforgettable riffs and a punk-infused spirit.
