Powertool artists play Auckland and Wellington on November 6: Matthew Bannister, Gold Medal Famous and The Doubtful Sounds on the road
Matthew
Bannister and The Nukes -
Auckland
Matthew Bannister is making a
rare Auckland appearance at the Great South Pacific Tuning
Fork on Thursday November 6th, performing as a special guest
ahead ofThe Nukes.
Out of the
beautiful west of Auckland come The Nukes,
for a night of roots music with a twist. The Nukes discharge
three part vocal harmonies, blistering riffs and riotous
rhythms to produce a fine blend of folk, bluegrass, reggae
and post punk. They play The Great South Pacific Tuning Fork
this November as part of a tour to celebrate the arrival of
their second album Lucky Ones. Very special guest for
the show will be Matthew Bannister (ex
Sneaky Feelings.)
In 2011 The Nukes
featured as part of the TV Doco Bill Sevesi’s Dream
and in 2012 they released their debut studio album
‘Each to their Own’ (which now has a companion
songbook so players can follow along!). Album no 2, Lucky
Ones, has burst out of the blocks fully formed, striding
purposefully forth in a perfectly cut suit, waving with a
presidential smile. On their live
performance:
“‘Original’, inventive and
entertaining. The performance skills, personality and banter
between the musicians are excellent. There was overwhelming
positive audience feedback from the concert (Spiegeltent
-Taranaki Arts festival ) and that was one of the reasons I
brought them back for WOMAD 2012.” - Drew
James Artistic Director WOMAD / Taranaki Arts
Festival
Matthew Bannister, under the name One Man Bannister, last year released the ‘Evolver’ album – a tribute to the Beatles’ ‘Revolver’, which received rave reviews from every quarter. Recently he’s been performing his own material with his band The Changing Same; the EP ‘Make Up My Mind’ was released recently.

Gold
Medal Famous and The Doubtful Sounds - Wellington
and Whanganui
Good news everyone! Wellington avant-garde
electropop trio Gold Medal Famous joins forces
with dual city Wellington/Auckland jangle-guitar pop group
The Doubtful Sounds to play Wellington and
Whanganui in the first week of November.
Fresh
from an international live collaboration as
Selective Yellow, Chris Wilson
from Gold Medal Famous and
James Noble from The Doubtful
Sounds thought it was time to make the virtual a
reality by bringing the bands together In Real Life.
Selective Yellow recently performed a
special cross-country show, Birmingham'sNetwork Festival, with James beaming in
from the UK and Chris performing in New Zealand, resulting
in a unique online instrumental duet.
Gold Medal Famous recently grazed the headlines again with the pre-election update of their infamous song ‘John Key is (Still) a Dick’ on the Powertool Election EP; which followed on from the recent release of their metal album ‘Album of National Significance’.
Watch the video for Gold Medal Famous 'Bastard Lizard' here.
The Doubtful Sounds have just released their second studio album ‘A Stone’s Throw From Happiness’. It’s a step up from their very well-received debut ‘The Pop Album’, in quality and sound – and a more challenging set of songs. It starts off recognising its pop roots (Fell in Love) before rebalancing that with a heavier side of life, especially with Mayday (to be released as a single in late November), before delving into alt country and acoustic darkness (Well of the Saints) as the album closes.
Listen to The Doubtful Sounds' new album 'A Stone's Throw From Happiness' here.
Gold Medal Famous with The Doubtful Sounds
6 November at Meow Edward St, Wellington. 8pm doors. $5. Two bands because it's a school night.
8 November at Space Monster, Whanganui. 8pm $5. Plus
special
guests.
