The New Things, Interlopers, Gram Antler

Come to an indie garage punk pop slacker yacht rock triple bill – The New Things, Interlopers and Gram Antler play St Peter's Hall!
One night only, put on your dancing shoes and BYO refreshments.

The New Things are returning to Paekākāriki after scoring the best drummer in town! Their song Vintage Nerd hit No1 on Bfm. Radio New Zealand music reviewer, Grant Smithies, called their sound "ace rickety guitar pop like The Raincoats and Look Blue Go Purple" with an "endearing spindliness.

Interlopers will entertain you with acoustic guitar, cello and drums. Their original songs are riddled with melodic hooks, lyrical wit, and wisdom.

Gram Antler is the solo project of Pōneke singer, bass player and guitarist Jason Johnson (Ebony Lamb, Marlon Willams, French For Rabbits, Eb & Sparrow). Reformed choirboy and post-alt-country, Johnson presents Gram Antler as an anachronism, a man unstuck in time, so it goes. The songs aspire to be pop, but seem to congeal into a form that can only be described as Slacker Yacht-Rock.
