Hi There,

Living legend George Henderson from classic band The Puddle makes a rare Auckland appearance at this Thursday's Indie Club at Bacio situated upstairs from Kiss Bar at 309 K'rd. There will be a limited quantity of their masterpiece album "Songs For Emily Valentine" available at the special Indie Club entry deal that includes a CD. Other acts also playing include ..... The Pleasures of June, Seren Las and Bor'tas.

THE PUDDLE

Seminal Dunedin band the Puddle were formed in 1983 by leader-singer-writer-guitarist George D Hendeson and Bass player Ross Jackson- in their time many of the lummaries of the Dunedin music scene (Shayne Carter, Peter Gutteridge, Leslie Paris, Norma O'Malley, Richard Steele, Alan Starett, Martin Phillipps) have played in the ranks of the Puddle: the Puddle's drummer is Heath Te Au, who played with George in Mink in the 1990's. The Puddle have released the following recordings; Pop Lib, Into The Moon, Live at the Teddy Bear Club (all on Flying Nun) and singles Thursday/Too Hot to be Cool (FN) and The Power of love (acetone); they also had a hit with Southern Man which appeared on 3 compilations. The Puddle's latest CD "Songs for Emily Valentine" is out now on Powertool Records, and the Puddle are now recording new songs in Wellington. The Puddle's catholic mix of pop, blues, psychedelia, jazz, minimalism, rock'n'roll and god-knows-what-else appeals to humans of all ages who are not too proud to dance and the lyrics of love, sex, drugs, bewilderment and space travel are clearly audible at all times. Once known as psych-pop, the Puddle's style has since become hugely influencial and many of today's musicians owe what cool they have to ill-acknoledged liftings from the Puddle songbook. Once-cult-now-people's favourites, and widely considered one of New Zealand's most inspiring live acts, today the Puddle are hotter than ever.
