Babe Martin / K M T P - Single Release

Two of Tāmaki's brightest songwriting talents under one roof to celebrate their new releases!

For one night only, Babe Martin and K M T P (solo) at Nice Goblins HQ (220A Dominion Road), tickets are $15 from Undertheradar and will be $20 on the door.

Babe Martin skilfully crafts sparse arrangements, mainly piano and cello, that carry her stories leaving listeners tenderly gut wrenched. She doesn’t over egg the omelette, which is a masterful touch for a musician so early in their career.

K M T P is the musical project of Keria Paterson, a musician and songwriter currently based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Before starting K M T P, Paterson spent the majority of their time behind the drum kit, performing in groups like Polyester, Dirty Pixels and more recently Dead Famous People. Their debut EP was made by curating jangly guitars, melodic casio keyboards and earnest storytelling. In the three years since K M T P have cranked it up, letting listeners lose themselves in smooth layers of distortion and fuzz, all the while keeping sincere songwriting firmly at the core.
