Seismic State hit the stage for the first time in 2025, and this is one not to be missed. Bringing their upbeat blues/funk infused alternative rock to Wellington’s Underworld Tavern, they will be joined by fellow Wellingtonians Electric Tapestry and Wallflower.
Bring your dancing shoes for a night of good vibes and partying.
R18 event, with tickets available at Under The Radar ($10 + booking fee) or at the door ($15 cash).
Seismic State are; Sai (guitar), Liam (bass), Matthijs (drums), and Rogina (vocals & guitar).
In June 2021 they supported Auckland rockers, and Aotearoa Music Award winners, Dead Favours on their Riffing and Yelling tour. This was followed by inclusion in the lineup of Bayrock 2022 alongside legends Head Like a Hole, Stellar*, Zed, and Push Push, however the impact of covid restrictions caused the festival to be cancelled.
2024 was been a big year for Seismic State, releasing blues influenced 2 Homes and hard rock banger Blinded By The Sun (which has become their most streamed track). 2025 looks set for even bigger tremors!
Their style mixes rock with elements of blues, funk, progressive and alternative - they combine riff-oriented guitar with melodic basslines and driving drum rhythms forming a foundation for creative vocal melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. The result is an accessible and sonically pleasing bland of music not often found in the rock scene.

Electric Tapestry
Electric Tapestry is a space rock dish of creamy psychedelia, metal chunks with a pop topping.
Some people have said we're heavy indie pop; others have said we're metallic yacht rock with a touch of psychedelia - others didn't answer the survey and just danced.

Wallflower
Wallflower would like to publicly state that Luigi Mangione was with them on December 4th, 2024. Wallflower was teaching him about the origins of the term “shoegaze”, in which, after practicing the set, he argued that Wallflower isn’t even shoegaze, but some sad sort of sonic youth rip off. While wallflower was offended, Wallflower believes that genre is somewhat subjective and that he made a fair assessment.
