Delgirl National Tour - 30 August – 12 October
Delgirl National Tour - 30 August – 12
October
Dunedin trio
Delgirl begins a massive 29-date tour throughout New Zealand
at the end of August.
With generous support from Creative New Zealand, the band will bring their unique blend of folk/swamp/roots music to a town near just about everyone.
This talented group of women weaves tight harmonies around the double bass, guitar, banjo, ukulele and percussion. Singing songs about love, murder, lonesome livestock and road rage, Delgirl have delighted audiences in Wellington and the South Island, as well as appearing on National Radio and TV One's Good Morning show.
The band
comment:
"We had such a lot of people from around the
country get in touch with us after our May tour to
Wellington asking us to come and play for them. Receiving
assistance from Creative NZ means this is now possible. We
were totally blown away by their support, it is such a huge
positive acknowledgment of our band and what we are trying
to achieve musically."
Following the successful release of their debut album Two, Maybe Three, Days Ride in November 2007, the band has received great reviews from music critics and has repressed the album twice. Reviewers have compared them to The Be Good Tanyas and Tres Chicas, however noting a unique and distinctive Delgirl sound coming from heartland New Zealand via a Louisiana swamp.
...I was hooked
irretrievably from their opening song… Don’t miss out on
this one.

FM.
…Delgirl succeed in evoking the casual flavour of a
singalong while subtly crafting something more
complex…simultaneously evoking Flannery O’Connor’s
American South and New Zealand’s Southland. Nick
Bollinger. NZ Listener
