Francisca Griffin & the Bus Shelter Boys with The Teasers

February 23, 2019 @ 8:00 pm - 11:59 pm NZDT

$15

Francisca Griffin (formerly known as Kathy Bull) from legendary Flying Nun outfit Look Blue Go Purple, announces her new album “The Spaces Between” and supporting South Island shows.

Following the release of single Falling Light, Griffin shares Stardust, the second single from The Spaces Between. Falling Light and Stardust are testament to Griffin’s strength as a songwriter; familiar jangly, expansive Dunedin Sound(ing) guitar lines which meet her adroit lyricism. This album marks a triumphant return to the stage from her 1998 solo debut Some From The Sky.

Francisca says of the album:
“The spaces between the words, the notes, the spaces between a breath, a sigh, a glance, the spaces between is where all life lies – between the spaces are the traces… of who you were, who you are, who you will be.”

The spaces between features a monster cast of Dunedin-centric contributors, including Alastair Galbraith (The Rip, Plagal Grind, Handful of Dust), Deirdre Newall (Del Girl,TPo8), Alan Haig (The Chills, Snapper), Mick Elborado (Terminals, Negative Nancies), Kath Webster (Look Blue Go Purple), Ro Rushton-Green (Sewage) and her son Gabriel Griffin, (also of Sewage) one heck of a drummer!).

Francisca is joined live for her South Island shows by bassist Mick Elborado & Gabriel on drums. They are The Bus Shelter Boys, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have ‘em! PLUUUSSSS your favourite and our favourite two-piece, The Teasers.
