Pine, Alec Bathgate And Friends On The Road

Following a swag of Arch Hill Records releases by Pine ('Akira Sunrise' - October) David Kilgour ('Frozen Orange' - September) and Fang ('Swim Up Stream' - August), Arch Hill HQ is picking up the pieces, and some bands are playing some shows around some of the NZ land...in the following order;

Thursday 11th November - Kings Arms (Auckland) - Pine, Alec Bathgate, Fang and guests.

This show contains majority Christchurch representation, Pine (also 100% Pine) and Alec Bathgate (also 50% Tall Dwarfs) make a rare combined trip north to Auckland to celebrate their respective album releases - 'Akira Sunrise' (Pine) and 'The Indifferent Velvet Void' (Alec Bathgate - on Lil' Chief). Joining the party is Fang and other guests. Not only is this a special show because it is a double album release, but it is a little extra special because it is the first joint Arch Hill-Lil Chief adventure. Music will be starting at the respectable hour of 8.30pm so don't be too late.

Friday 12th of November - The Odeon (Auckland) - Pine, Alec Bathgate and the Bads

A wind-down lower-key less plugged in affair at the beautiful Odeon with special guests the Bads. Similar but different to the above.

Saturday 13th November - Bodega (Wellington) - Ghostplane and the Lahars

Ghostplane have been hunkered down brewing up some fine new recordings and have decided to venture out into the Wellington spring evening, with the Lahars, who slid out of the excellent Livids...the gig apparently promises "dancing beers, beer chested men, beer-ded ladies"

And on the telly, look out for Pine on Top of the Pops this Saturday night at 6pm on TV2...also look out for videos that have been getting a bit of play on the telly by Fang (Something Good) Pine (See Saw). Red Drum (featuring former Garageland frontman Jeremy Eade) also have a new video for Gun in Hand which will be viewable soon...some of these are (or will be) on the arch hill website at www.archhill.co.nz/videolist.php
