Crooked Finger NZ

Indie rock/indie pop originals band from the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. 
Band members are Sandra Muir-lead vocalist, rhythm guitar, Phil Duncan-drums, Rawiri White-lead guitar, Stephen Calvert-bass, vocalist. Songs originally written by Sandra or Stephen are developed by all band members. Earlier songs included Simon Mottram-lead guitar, Patrick Gibbons-keys. In 2023 Rawiri White joined the band.  

They are called Crooked finger because Patrick has arthritis and no longer plays. They see the Crooked finger as a symbol of being older and hopefully wiser. That crooked finger pointing in a different direction, symbolises seeing things from a different perspective or an alternative,kinder way, with more empathy. How we react to imperfections can have a huge impact on ourselves. So they celebrate in song, all those quirks, strangeness and charms that everyone has. 
Their low ratio of romantic love songs allow more creativity to embrace peace, justice, understanding and human love for all.
