Octopus in Heels are proud to present their debut single Keeping My Body into the world. To celebrate the occasion the all-female quartet will be playing a special Matariki release show at the beloved Vogelmorn Bowling Club with support from Kat Little.

Octopus in Heels brings together longtime friends and collaborators Eliza Pickard, Victoria Ferry, Phoebe Johnson and Elizabeth Hocking to share their love of song and storytelling. The group brings together band member's eclectic backgrounds in musical forms to create original music which draw from the 70's NY folk scene, with modern influences. Songs are built on four-part vocal harmonies, supported by an array of sounds including guitar, ukelele, woodwinds, cello, percussion and double bass.

Keeping my Body explores themes of body sovereignty and identity in a world of expectations and systems that profit from them. This song brings together the best of the musicians of Pōneke in song to celebrate community and bodily autonomy.
