It seems like only yesterday that the extensive full-band touring iteration of Lawrence Arabia breezed across New Zealand on his acclaimed and vibrant, 2019 Singles Club national tour.
And now New Zealand's "pre-eminent chronicler of 21st Century bourgeois dilemmas" returns, re-imagined, alone and devoid of any buffer and/or musical safety net.
Lawrence Arabia will enchant in these intimate settings with nothing other than himself, his collection of pop songs, a piano, and a small selection of other relevant instruments.
Benjamin M is a writer and musician from Dunedin, New Zealand. He uses a loop-pedal, an old guitar, beat-boxing, vocals and a violin bow to make a unique blend of solid lyrics and trip-hoppishly melodic whomps. Puku Belle is the musical alias of Annabelle Spiteri, a NZ grown alt-folk singer songwriter. Join her on a laid back wandering through her original compositions and an eclectic mix of covers. Sometimes jazzy, sometimes kooky, a whole lot playful -Puke Belles music is sure to make you smile. Music for happy tummies. Joe Pope, another friendly Dunedin face, is a skilled guitarist and vocalist with years of experience on and off the stage. Expect a well curated selection of folk, blues and rock n roll.
HUMBOLDT (soon morphing KPP aka Koputai People's Party) was built on the dream of making some noise despite the daytime job. With the dream closer to being fulfilled music is playing through a musical whanau whose band members shift fluidly around the demands of daily life and the Dunedin musical culture of playing in as many bands as possible at once. At the heart of the band beats a large body of original songs - a rootsy blend of blues, pop, reggae and some funky stuff. And the aim? Feet tapping, side-to-side shufflin', spin your partner dancing musical fun for all.
