Blackout Music Management announce


Cairo Knife Fight announce NZ dates to coincide with the release of their self titled EP.

With the release of their self-titled EP out now on Sony Music, the time is right to go see exactly what this band is about. Huge sounds, driving looped rhythms, soulful voice and hypnotic guitar.

On their recent support to Gomez in Wellington, CKF received a standing ovation, most unusual for an opening act. This band is a must see!

“A Christchurch duo of singer/ drummer Nick Gaffaney and former Weta guitarist Aaron Tokona, Cairo Knife Fight somehow manage to kick up as much ruckus as six men on this bold and bracing four-track E.P. "Big Face" melds tribal drums and paint-stripping Led Zep-style riffery to great effect, while beautifully-sung standout track "All I Ever Wanted" rises and falls like a stormy sea as Gaffaney delivers a falsetto ode to a troubled relationship over chiming guitars. Rock music this epic and soulful comes rarely”.
Grant Smithies – Sunday Star Times

Werewolf: Nature’s Boy - On Terence Malik

It’s easy to think of Malick films coming in pairs. In the 1970s: Badlands and Days of Heaven. Before those, he grew up in Oklahoma and Texas as the eldest of three brothers, studied philosophy at Harvard and Oxford but quit before finishing his doctorate. Then he studied film-making and got Badlands out just before he was 30. More>>

Werewolf: Classics - Tom’s Midnight Garden (1958)

For anyone trying to write about it, Tom’s Midnight Garden poses a significant problem. The twist ending will be well known to anyone who has read the book, but first time readers would justifiably want to kill anyone who spoils the surprise, which provides one of the most satisfying and moving resolutions in children’s fiction.
