The Arch Hill & Strange News proudly present a triple headline show and the surefire antidote to your winter blues:

BEACH HOUSE, TAJIKO NORIKO AND BACHELORETTE

Beach House are the Baltimore duo of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally.
A devoted cult has sprung up around Beach House following their two gorgeously dark dreampop albums, Beach House and Devotion- released in New Zealand on Arch Hill Recordings.

Beach House’s live performances create an intense and otherworldy space - with organs, slide guitars, reverb, harmony, layers, echoes and the hazy, dreamlike magic of Victoria’s vocal melodies. New Zealand will also be treated with the addition of drummer and percussionist Dave Bergander, of Baltimore art-rockers Celebration.

Beach House are also joined in Auckland by Osaka born Tujiko Noriko. A prolific avant-pop, experimental musician (often compared to múm, or Björk), she has released 11 albums and 2 short films since her boyfriend bought her a keyboard in 2003. The latest of her 11 albums entitled ‘Trust’ was released in March on Japanese Nature Bliss Label.

To complete a must see bill is Bachelorette . Annabel Anlpers is a one-woman computer-pop symphony. Bachelorette’s aural trademarks are dulcet melodic tones and art-pop-inspired dynamics. Her 2 releases The End Of Things and Isolation Loops have wooed critics around the world and she followed shortly after– Bachelorette has returned home fresh from an American tour.

Tickets for these shows are on sale from July 7th- be in quick as tickets are limited.
