Elle spoke to Kate Bollingerahead of her Aotearoa debut at SLACKBARN! (10th January), and a headline show at Double Whammy (9th January). Kate brings her timelessly referential and genre-fluid sound to our stages, early 2026, the perfect accompaniment the warm summer weather. Kate’s lyricism invites the listener into a colour-filled world, speaking candidly about her subjective life-experience. The open-texture of her lyrics allows the audience to connect their own lives with her music, furthering a sense of intimacy. They spoke about the relationship between Kate’s experience in film and music, how her upbringing fueled her music practice and what she hopes audiences will experience whilst attending live shows.
