There are currently Three bands using the name Alchemy -
(1) Alchemy began as the musical collaboration between Dawn Zoe and Kriyatrix. They met in 1999 and began creating thereafter. Kriyatrix was enrolled in an audio engineering program at CDIS, while Dawn was experimenting with accordion, guitar, voice and piano. While performing at “Alchemy”, Oracle Gathering 7, they met Adrian Blackhurst, who joined Alchemy in 2001, adding his eclectic samples to the mix. Alchemy has been taking a break since 2003, with Kriyatrix, Dawn and Adrian exploring individual creative pursuits.

The story of Avalanche City begins in a house, alone, for hours and hours each day for months, slowly learning how to sing by process of scales, recording, and self critique.
Six months after taking the first steps towards singing, Dave Baxter played his first solo show as Avalanche City. Six months after the first show, one year after beginning the process of teaching himself how to sing, the first tracks were laid for Avalanche City's debut album Our New Life Above The Ground.

Hard to describe rock and roll band from New Zealand, moved to Melbourne, Australia, and now hopefully on to bigger and better things in London, England. Their music is a quasi-grunge, at times droning, atonal mess of heavily distorted guitars with the occasional tender, almost fragile, near-acoustic sound making it through the turbulence. Contender for the least pretentious band on earth and a powerhouse live.

There are two bands calling themselves 'The Feelers.' The more established act is a New Zealand Rock band formed in the early 1990s in Christchurch by James Reid (singer/guitarist), Andy Lynch (lead guitar) Matt Short (Bass) and Hamish Gee (Drums). The Feelers got a record deal with Warner Music and released their first album, SuperSystem, in 1998. It was the second biggest selling album in New Zealand that year.
