Arrowtown alternative rock band The Seaside Stranglers are throwing a party in the town tonight night to mark the release of their EP,
Quick, Fast and Deadly.
Frontman-bassist Sam Maxwell, 25, says the gig at Slow Cuts is ‘‘our way of saying thank you to Arrowtown for all their support over the years’’.
Sam, along with brother and lead rhythm guitarist Tom, 32, and drummer Sam Baylis, 32, recorded the EP’s four songs at the beginning and end of a countrywide tour in November.
It started with a day of recording at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios in Auckland before the trio cruised around in a campervan, playing 13 gigs between Waiheke Island and Dunedin.
