SUMMARY:Phoebe Rings
DESCRIPTION:Phoebe Rings started with Crystal Choi in 2019\, eager for an outlet after finishing jazz school. “I got very sick of jazz. I just didn’t want that sound anymore\,” she adds\, “Dream-pop was my favourite thing to listen to. It fits the vibe and visuals of where I wanted to go.” Graham Reid praises the ethereal fantasy: “If the occasion arises for you to take a few moments to let the world go\, this is the EP for you.” \nChoi moved to New Zealand in 2000\, growing up in a Korean-speaking home in Tāmaki Makaurau on the North Shore. She gravitated to the keyboard after school while her parents worked long hours to set up a new business. In an interview with Metro Mag\, Choi reflects on the nuanced layers she brings growing up between cultural fabrics as a Korean New Zealander. With these inspirations\, her gut tends to pull her toward the introspection of her first language\, found in Korean ballads and literature. Speaking to Rat World\, lyrics are the final puzzle piece after settling on a melody or groove. \nStarting in classical piano\, jazz school was an opportunity for self-discovery. Since graduating\, she’s toured internationally with sonically creative projects like Princess Chelsea and Jonathan Bree\, who suggested Benjamin Locke for bass. After hearing the tracks\, he immediately jumped at the opportunity to collaborate. \nThe band are talented musicians in their own right. Simeon Kavanagh-Vincent (Princess Chelsea) is also the bedroom pop project Lucky Boy. Alex Freer (Tiny Ruins) is known for his sultry synth-pop solo project\, A.C Freazy. “Everyone is very selfless and in service of the music. We’re all on the same mission statement\,” adds Freer\, “We might add an interesting spice\, but everyone wants to make a good soup.” \nDescribed by RNZ as an ‘indie supergroup\,’ Phoebe Rings intentionally weaves in each member’s expertise. Freer brings a polished and slick approach to the project. Meanwhile\, Kavanagh-Vincent uses unconventional production techniques with rhythmic syllabic additions. Locke is a bassist with unexpected and considered lyricism. And at the helm: Choi’s agile\, soaring\, intimate vocals and songwriting. \nThey’ve since opened for the likes of Arlo Parks and The Beths\, and played in Fringe Festival (Outsider Sounds Festival) 2020\, Nestfest 2020\, Festival of Lights 2024\, and Future Future Festival 2024. The momentum is infectious\, with the band making ‘Best New Zealand Music of the Week\,’ round-ups on the Rolling Stones\, and music featured in Kid Sister (TVNZ+) and White Fever (ABC\, AU). \nHaving signed with acclaimed US indie label Carpark Records\, the band played SXSW Sydney in October 2024\, and are well underway with their upcoming album. \n

SUMMARY:Hoodoo Gurus
DESCRIPTION:Our favourite Australians\, Hoodoo Gurus\, will rock across New Zealand in April for three concerts celebrating 40 years since their seminal debut album Stoneage Romeos. \nPlus1 is delighted to present Hoodoo Gurus live in New Zealand: \nThurs 3 April – Meow Nui – WELLINGTON\nFriday 4 April – James Hay – CHRISTCHURCH\nSaturday 5 April – Powerstation – AUCKLAND \nThe Plus1 48-hour presale begins 9am Tuesday 6th August at plus1.co.nz\nTickets are on general sale at plus1.co.nz from 9am Thursday 8th August. \nHoodoo Gurus’ New Zealand tour is hot on the heels of their massive 47-date tour across the United States and Australia packed with sold out audiences celebrating the anniversary and the Stoneage Romeos vinyl collector’s set. \nStoneage Romeos was the Gurus’ debut album and featured the hits Leilani\, Tojo\, My Girl and I Want You Back. It won Best Debut Album at the 1984 Countdown Awards\, and has consistently appeared in the Top 10 on almost every ‘best ever’ Australian album lists. \nThe album\, along with the band’s regular New Zealand tours from 1984 onwards firmly cemented their Kiwi fanbase. They were last in New Zealand in March 2023\, wooing crowds as headliners of the Sounds Series festivals. \nBack to the Stoneage 2025 tour will see the band play the Stoneage Romeos album in full followed by a selection of hit songs and fan favourites like What’s My Scene\, Bittersweet\, Like Wow – Wipeout\, 1000 Miles Away\, and many more! \nSays frontman Dave Faulkner:“We can’t wait to get back to New Zealand. Stoneage Romeos’ was a pivotal album for us and many of its songs have remained live favourites ever since. It’ll be great to play some of those “less-travelled” songs from it on this tour – even though that means we’ll be playing longer sets to fit everything else in as well. Hah! To my mind that’s a win-win situation.” \n\n

SUMMARY:Revulva - The Album Reminder Tour
DESCRIPTION:Revulva are back to do it again! Hot off their sold-out album release tour across Aotearoa\, the crazy-sexy-cool-awkward eight-piece are back to strut their stuff around the motu with The Album Re(lease)minder Tour. \nHaving sold over 100 copies of vinyl before its release\, Revulva’s self-titled record was the talk of the town last year – selling out shows\, making Rolling Stone’s top 40 NZ albums of the year\, topping the charts\, and bringing packed crowds to Twisted Frequency and New Plymouth Festival of Lights. Seven dates wasn’t quite enough\, and the eight-piece soul/funk supergroup are back at it again to continue the party\, playing favourites from the record as well as debuting some new work – reminding you that there is still some dancing with Revulva to be done\, and some dancing to be enjoyed in the distant future. \nDescribed by Rolling Stone Australia as “strangely alluring\,” the femme-fronted eight-piece formed in Wellington under the de facto leadership of the composer\, lyricist\, bassist and vocalist Phoebe Johnson in 2019. Since then\, Johnson and her clown van full of hyper-busy musical collaborators\, Lily Rose Shaw\, Toby Leman\, Hector McLachlan\, Kaito Walley\, Lennox Grootjans\, Mysty Cooke\, and Zane Hawkins\, have won over bar\, nightclub and festival audiences across New Zealand. \nTaking cues from Talking Heads\, Tom Tom Club\, Jamiroquai\, Steely Dan\, Herbie Hancock\, Minnie Ripperton and Prince\, Revulva reimagines the anything-goes energy of New York City’s 1970s downtown scene and London’s 1990s funk and soul renaissance through an antipodean lens informed by the deadpan humour and the realities of 21st-century life in New Zealand. The result is a hedonistic whirlwind of acid jazz\, avant-funk\, disco\, AOR and art-pop\, where polished playing leaves room for improvisation in the heat of the moment\, and real statements come bundled up with just enough laughs to soften the snarl. \nFollowing on from their first EP\, Girls Gotta Eat (2022) and the road-rage jazz-funk and orgasmic uptempo R&B of recent singles ‘Beep Beep’\, ‘Bush Bash’\, and ‘Heroin Chic’\, Revulva’s self-titled debut album is a musical snapshot of the hijinks\, realisations and adventures they’ve lived through over the half-decade. Recorded at Doctor Lee Prebble’s Surgery Studios in Wellington\, its ten-song tracklist captures the dynamic energy and juxtapositions that power their percussive grooves\, spellbinding horn section and Johnson’s silky smooth songcraft and spoken word strut. It’s a high-wire act in a three-ring circus. You’re all invited to the Revulva party. You can even cry if you want to. \nRevulva – The Album Reminder Tour \n4th April – A Rolling Stone\, Christchurch\n5th April – Wānaka Festival of Colour\, Wānaka \n11th April – Double Whammy\, Auckland\n12th April – Last Place\, Hamilton \n17th April – Meow\, Wellington \n
