Gig Information
Sail ashore for a salty singalong with the W.S.S.S at their barnacled barn in Breaker Bay! Brace the mainsails for more rousing renditions of your favourite shanties, but this time interspersed with tempestuous tales of Ishmael, Ahab and THE WHALE.
Moby Dick is to be read aloud. There are things in it that simply have to be heard - Orson Welles.
New Zealand s Most Sea Worthy Shanty Group™ have been belting out traditional and original sea songs from Aotearoa, France, Spain, the UK and more, since time immemorial (2012). They have recently been featured in The Guardian (!), The Spinoff, The Wall Street Journal (Why?), The Project (it s a primetime tv show), and all over the bloody internet.
Presented by Bad Gin Sanctuary & Birds Nest.
Following a fuzz-ladened debut album ‘All Dat Love’, A.H. s second album ‘Crying Lessons’, (produced by the acclaimed Delaney Davidson) stripped back the noise to focus on their rock n roll roots. With their third album, WOOLSTON, TEXAS , the band have found their sound.
With Hattaway s songwriting following a more organic process, it channels all of the raw emotion that defines their live shows. Due for release March 26th, Woolston, Texas is a heartfelt lament to highs gone by. A reminder for those times when spectres creep out of the darkness and try to grab you - there s more than one way out.
UTR Presents
Andrew Fagan and his band return to venues across the North Island in April to perform songs from his solo and Mockers years, and celebrate latest album Act Normal.
Fagans career spans over 40 years, from his time as frontman of punk group The Ambitious Vegetables, pop-rockers The Mockers, to his ongoing solo career.
His solo material over the years - performed with his band Fagan and The People - includes laconic social commentary classics such as Exciting, Now You Know, Blame Me, Get Light, Religion, Jerusalem, and On Channel Me.
The acclaimed new album Act Normal was released on the cusp of lockdown, so the band are jumping out of their skins for this delayed release tour. To coincide with the tour, new single Youll Be Fine is released in early March.
