9 MAY 2014 ~ NZ ARTIST OF THE DAY

THE EASTERN

 
 HOPE AND WIRE
"The Eastern are a string band that roars like a punk band, that swings like a gospel band, that drinks like a country band, that works like a bar band, that hopes like folk singers, and sings love songs like union songs, and writes union songs like love songs, and wants to slow dance and stand on tables, all at the same time. Whether roaring as their big six piece string band or swinging the loud lonesome sound as a two piece and averaging over 200 shows a year, The Eastern can hold it down in all settings for all comers."

1 MAY 2014 ~ NZ ARTIST of the DAY

DELANEY DAVIDSON

"Delaney Davidson is back with his 5th solo album, 10 new amazing gems of gothic folk-noir, with a lo-fi rock sensibility"

This man is without a doubt PROLIFIC! Swim Down Low vinyl first appeared in NZ music stores on Record Store Day, 19 April 2014. This is Delaney Davidson's 5th solo album, however his music appears on numerous compilation albums and his three albums with Marlon Williams (Sad But True,Volumes I, II, III) released in 2012, 2013 and 2014 have also been incredibly sought after!

Please note Volume II is SUPER difficult to get!!! 

Check out this youtube clip of the single 'Big Ugly Fish' on Swim Down Low ... if this is your cup-of-tea, you will definitely want to check out his albums. Want the good news??? Delaney Davidson tours extensively around the world... you do not have to be in NZ to check him out LIVE!! YAY for all of you elsewhere!

“Necessity is the mother of invention, and a low budget will lead to all sorts of beautiful stand-in potential. Whistling instead of violins. I love to see things take a step, and I think people like to see the triumph of a good idea over a slick production, I think it gives them hope and inspiration. Ultimately the result of hi gloss is alienation and a removed and depressed let down feeling of not being good enough. I say let it all go!”
