Originally from the sunny town of Nelson, Aotearoa/New Zealand, these days Joe Ghatt mostly resides in and around Auckland. Spending the last few years working at an undisclosed space company that builds rockets, Joe’s musical inspiration has always had a cosmic and otherworldly vision. Sure to please fans of The Babe Rainbow, Levitation Room and 60s era groups like The Seeds and The Byrds, Joe Ghatt has a knack for effortlessly fusing nostalgia with his own authentic and potent sound, all recorded the old fashion way — straight to magnetic tape.
After cutting his teeth in the local scene by performing and collaborating with Kiwi psych rockers Arthur Ahbez and Kelvin Hurts, Joe eventually found some spare time in 2018 to explore his own solo endeavour, with his 2019 cult-acclaimed debut LP Banana Sludge being the result of this self-discovery. Released by Third Eye Stimuli Records (AUS) and Six Tonnes de Chair (FR), Ghatt's debut is a charming lo-fi psych-surf album, featuring hit singles such as the 60s inspired psychedelic-rock number, ‘Farewell’, the hypnotic fuzz guitar jam, ‘Mammon’ and the trippy surf instrumental, ‘While The Coffee Brews’.
In a live setting; Joe and his energetic 5 piece band transform his humble recordings into a huge, jammy, psychedelic rock show that engages fans and compels everybody to dance, earning them main support for California's Allah Las on their 2020 New Zealand tour.
Joe Ghatt is set to release new music in 2024.
