Rock up for an all-female onslaught of more than 20 electric guitarists and bassists marrying metal riffs with ambient washes.
Mapatazi are rock ‘n’ roll royalty clad in silver and gold with headdresses created by local Hazara women. Everyone gets a guitar solo and, sometimes, they play them all at once!
The brainchild of musician and community artist Rose Turtle Ertler, Mapatazi gives women power in the male-dominated arena of rock music. This amazing group won’t bring you classic rock covers because they’ve written original music of their own. The Launceston Workers Club was once a men’s-only space; this changes with Mapatazi.
This is a free event but bookings are essential.
