Cripple Mr Onion originated in Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand, and produce a rich landscape of intelligent yet powerful music, which has been described as spellbindingly beautiful one moment and violently cataclysmic the next.
The diverse progeny CMO spits forth to their evergrowing and devoted live following are charged with primal, tribal beats, haunting harmonies and expansive atmospheric textures – each song becomes individual as a living entity with it’s own unique qualities, evolving organically to often epic proportions.
CMO have destroyed stages with bands such as Motorhead, Shihad, Blindspott, 8 Foot Sativa, The D4 and Stylus – a live Cripple Mr Onion set in full force is a thing that must be experienced to be believed.
Armed with their new full-length album ‘Antigravity’, the band has recently relocated to Auckland to unleash their sound on new ears, and are currently gathering forces in preparation for transit to the next level…
Cripple Mr Onion are:
Andy Woodd (vocals, guitar)
