Bleeding Star - 4 track album
Bleeding Star | Music
Overview
Bleeding Star is Jude Savage, Carlos Bellamy, Kindekel Banda-Moyes and Otis Hill. These young Wellingtonians are inspired by the long marriage of melody and noise, and play carefully considered cuts that are disarmingly raw and intuitively crafted.
Much of their music acts as a catharsis for these four friends. Guitarist Otis Hill continues to battle a rare cancer, and motivated by embracing every opportunity they can get their hands on, these four are destined to make you sit up and listen.
The band are raising funds to record a 4-song album at Sandbox Studios. Sandbox have offered a generous studio package to support Bleeding Star to achieve this goal.
Hot off the back of a hometown performance supporting Daffodils and The Lazy Eyes the band was voted #1 on Wellington’s Radio Active for their home bedroom recorded demo “February”. Bleeding Star are moving from strength to strength…and quickly. Don’t let their relative youth cause you any doubt. This young outfit play with a maturity beyond their years and deliver with an unflinching point of view. They are set to take the stage at Auckland's The Other's Way Festival this Labour Weekend alongside 30 NZ bands including Che Fu and the Kratez, Dance Exponents, Nadia Reid and Daffodils. You can hear Jude's home-recorded demos (made on an old 8-track) at the link below. He plays everything on the demos and is determined to get the full band recorded in the studio.
Sandbox Studios in Wellington have offered a fantastic opportunity for us to record 4 songs. Bleeding Star hope to get into the studio as soon as possible - we are keen to take this opportunity while we have the chance.
Thanks for your support!
Jude, Carlos, Kindekel, and Otis.

Project Updates
We did it! Sandbox Studios here we come!
We did it, thanks to your support!
We reached our target and even made it to our second stretch goal, raising an extra $1,560.
This gives us some extra time in the studio to record the fifth song and to spend some more time in the studio getting the production to really sound great on all five songs.
Thank you to all 73 of our wonderful donors who helped us achieve this goal.
You would have received a receipt from Boosted for your donation. Don’t forget that you can claim back a 33% tax credit on your donation by filling in a credit claim form (IR526) at the end of the tax year. (More info here: https://www.boosted.org.nz/donating)
Finally, we want to send a huge thanks to Sandbox studios for their amazing and generous support.
We are really looking forward to getting into the studio in late November and can’t wait to share with you the fruits of our labour.
