Calla & the Lillies
Calla is a force of nature wielding unique musical skill as a spiritual spellcaster capturing audiences in a suspended time-rift. A master of the-human-voice-as-instrument, electronic musician, violinist, and pianist, Calla is one of those people for whom music is not a pond lightly dabbled in, but an ocean that she calls home. It’s not so much that she plays music; it simply pours out of her. Expect elements of operatic vocals, heavy bass, and hommages to the worlds of folk, pop, and cinema epics. If music is the language of the soul then Calla speaks truth in many tongues.
This winter she’s touring Aotearoa with her second album, Patterns of Remedy. The album shows the breadth and depth of her musical palette, with lines of jazz, shades of classical, gradients of bass music, outlines of the experimental, and a background of art-pop. Themes range from the pre-apocalypse golden hour of our civilisation to the thousand hidden kisses of forbidden love, with vast ground covered between.
This is not background music to stand around and yarn to your mates over a cold one, save that for afterwards. This is a listening experience designed to stir the depths of our primal and vulnerable inner worlds.
For her hometown show, Calla is pulling out all the stops and will be joined by The Lillies (Maddy Parkins Craig - drums, Sam Healey - double bass, Julion Wright - saxophone, Michael Morris - electric guitar).
Laney Blue
With honest, heartfelt and at times melancholic story-telling, Laney Blue mixes pop’s melodic sensibilities with the noise and racket of Dunedin music stalwarts. Fronted by Olive Butler (Violin/Vocals) and Nick Tipa (Guitar/Vocals) and supported by friends and musicians-in-arms Jeremy Clark (Bass/Vocals) and Zac Nicholls (Drums/Vocals), Laney Blue promises to win over Aotearoa, one heart at a time. Their debut album Dreamer Too can be listened to via your favourite streaming sites, and cassettes of the album can be purchased through Bandcamp.
Soft Sad People
Ōtepoti two-piece Soft Sad People consists of Adelaide Dunn (Adelaide Cara, Milpool, Repulsive Woman, SJD) and Andrew Harray (Malcolm Gordon, Adelaide Cara, SJD), who make soft songs for sad people, and sad songs for soft people. Their piano-driven sound and vocal textures evoke a gloomy, contemplative, shimmering experience.
