About the event
SPUZ are a 7-piece improvisation based fusion act that melds a huge variety of genres into approachable and catchy instrumental tunes. Led by guitarist Andrew de Souza, the genre-bending group aims to bring audiences an array of fun filled songs that truly showcase what modern instrumental music can be and what effect it can have on the mainstream music scene. With members old and new, and songs catchy and blue, SPUZ creates a suite of sonic extravagance with something for every listener to enjoy, no matter the background or interest.
Stemming from the city of Newcastle, we have a rich background of enjoyment of performing and listening to music but all fell in love with how we feel when using our instruments to tell stories. We purely want to showcase the true nature of instrumental music, and how fun, exciting, and different it can be.
