Data Hui are:
Billy TK, Mara TK, Aaron Tokona, Riki Gooch, Iraia Whakamoe and Crete Haami. Exploring an ultramodern blues, country and folk referencing cosmic soundworld which will soon find expression on their debut group album Taniwhunk. Driven by an investigation of the theme of “Maoris in space,” Taniwhunk is a sci-fi re-appropriation of the navigation techniques of the first Maori settlers of Aotearoa, as re-imagined through a bilingually futurist space exploration lens.
"Data Hui is the band. Taniwhunk is the form of music we play. This genre was coined in order to claim a small part of a vast musical universe for ourselves, lest we continually be labeled the borrower. " Mara TK
My great-grandfather was the last fisherman of our line to catch barracuda
beyond the foreshore, out in pure space.
His son was a civil engineer, like Hone Tuwhare –
Boilermakers they called themselves
I call myself a Maori in space.
Data Hui perform on the 9th of February at San Fran Bath House, their first public performance and an introduction to the forthcoming album Maori in space.... Doors open EARLY for a 9pm start.
You'll know Mara TK from Electric Wire Hustle (amongst other things):
