About Bond Street Bridge
Bond Street Bridge was the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Sam Prebble. Sam was a fixture of the Auckland alternative folk scene, playing mandolin, fiddle and guitar with The Broken Heartbreakers, Reb Fountain's Bandits, and the Hannah Curwood Band, as well as appearing as a guest on a range of other projects. He had been playing various instruments for as long as he could remember, and one of his favorite hobbies is learning to play more of them.
In 2008, Bond Street Bridge released his debut album The Mapmakers' Art on Monkey Records, and he then toured extensively around New Zealand, Australia and Europe. The album and the live show impressed audiences, promoters, and critics alike, with Phil Reed describing the album as 'one of the finest collections of homegrown music to cross this desk in a while' in Real Groove magazine. Graham Reid of elsewhere.co.nz included it in his best of 2008 list.
The live set was a solo show in which Sam used loop pedals and tape echoes to build up layers of guitar, violin, beats and vocals to produce a hypnotic, compelling and original sound. Audiences were drawn in to the strange world Bond Street Bridge conjured up with a combination of evocative lyrics and sonically lush instrumental arrangements. Songs about birds rub up against tales of adventure and loss, and covers of old folk songs nestle amongst rich soundscapes.
