Dj Nocturna Interview With New Zealand Artist Justine O' Gadhra Dj Nocturna of The Queen of Wands

Justine O’ Gadhra-Sharp is a vocalist, drummer, and performance artist from Christchurch, New Zealand who was a member of the noisy alternative rock band The Gael (1995-96), Flinch, Pulchritude, DiS, Artemisia and the long-running DIY underground label and artist collective, kRkRkRk from 1996-2000.

Sídhe (pronounced “shee”) is her debut solo EP which blends brooding and seductive lounge-bar cabaret with dark electronica. Originally recorded during the early 2000s in the forested hills of Tītīrangi, Auckland, with drummer and long-time collaborator Iva Treskon (Pulchritude / Artemisia); the Sídhe recordings languished unfinished and unreleased for many years but brought back to life by producer and multi-instrumentalist Josh Wood (The Mercy Cage, The Altar, Melody Fallen) and at Junk DNA Recording, Wellington, by engineer and musician Bryan Tabuteau (Crash-Scan, Узб96, Radar Angel, Nullity).

Justine is also joined by guest singer Michel Rowland (Disjecta Membra) and session bassist Matt Shanks, for the crooning lounge-lizard duet, ‘Stanley’s Only Hope’
