Little Bushman & Electric Wire Hustle will team up in Raglan at the YOT Club in February. Last September saw Little Bushman & EWH team up for two sell-out nights of vibrant psychedelic and soul music at one of Wellington’s premier live venues, the San Francisco Bathhouse. Both bands and audiences alike enjoyed it so much they thought it best to take it on the road!

After the release of their 3rd studio album Te Oranga, Little Bushman wowed audiences throughout Australia, including the prestigious Byron Bay Bluesfest and are currently planning a mid 2012 return.

“I’m pretty excited about these next shows with EWH – I reckon it’s a perfect eclectic match for the audience to bliss out on and the last SFBH shows were electrifying. It’s all about the fans… I wish I could be in the crowd, drowning in the frequencies – mean!” ..says LB’s Warren Maxwell.

These shows also mark the final performances in New Zealand for Electric Wire Hustle this summer before they head onto Europe for 6 months via stop-offs in Australia and the USA. EWH are very excited to share some new material from their forthcoming sophomore album with the homecrowd before taking it international with performances at WOMAD in Adelaide and SXSW in Austin, Texas in March.

Supermodel

Raglan Gig:

Thursday 9th February – The Yot Club – Raglan

Show begins at 9pm and Tickets are $10 and available through www.undertheradar.co.nz and on the door.

Wellington rockers Supermodel are teaming up with Christchurch wave-makers Sleeping Dogs in a seven-date tour throughout the North Island this summer. In a new manifestation of the Live and Loud Tour which took Sleeping Dogs throughout the South for 30 liver-bending shows in 2011, the newly recruited Supermodel join the crusade to bring rock to the masses as the final days of summer protest the onset of colder weather.

Supermodel are riding the wave of their successful debut album, To the Mountains released in July, 2011 and are a highly experienced live outfit. Supporting some of our country’s finest musical exports including Midnight Youth and Gin Wigmore, Supermodel are right at home playing to a packed out pub or to a crowd of 15,000. Their focus is melody, harmony and a rocking tune and having a brother and sister fronting the band makes for an excellent live dynamic that should not be missed.

Sleeping Dogs are currently writing their sophomore album from their custom-built studio in Christchurch and are keen for more adventure. A recent foray to the North Island whetted the interest of both the band and their audiences and now they are back to deliver their musical message to the full. Technically adept and melodically interesting, Sleeping Dogs write powerful and dramatic songs. Fans of epic rock music must see this band.

Supermodel and Sleeping Dogs will be wending their way around the North Island from the 13th January 2012. Catch the last rays of sun and prepare to be entertained.
