Reb Fountain put on a show for all to see last night at Auckland’s Town Hall as she closed out her How Love Bends Album Release Tour on this third day of New Zealand Music Month.
Search For Yeti conquered at their debut Auckland show at Whammy Bar with support from the brass heavy rock stylings of Moongoat and the increasingly ruckus, jangle-punk of Cowboy Dan.
The National are no strangers to the release of live material. ROME is preceded by a record store day release of Boxer Live in Brussels, the intentionally average sounding, direct to cassette recording Juicy Sonic Magic and 6 volumes of Cherry Tree live recordings released through their fan club.
Search For Yeti has honed a fresh take on Aotearoa indie-rock with their new album, Dark So Soon. Te Whanganui a Tara three-piece have crafted an album that is highly enjoyable on initial listen, yet sparks the curiosity to hit repeat and go deeper into the rich instrumentation, triumphant melodies and emotional lyricism.
Less Than Jake brought their Rockview Downunder Tour to Auckland’s Powerstation last night and The 13th Floor’s Chris Warne was on the scene with his pen and his camera.
Crowded House is about to release Gravity Stairs, an album that illuminates the multiple branches of Neil Finn’s musical tree, while sprouting a few new ones in the process.
Taking full advantage of the all ages entry, Ekko Park celebrated the release of their new EP, delivering a blistering and emotional set with support from some of Tāmaki Makaurau’s most promising Rangatahi; Fan Club and Where’s Jai.
