RDU presents CURTAIN CALL
FRIDAY 4th JULY
REPERTORY THEATRE, KILMORE STREET, CHRISTCHURCH

With Jeremiah Ross aka Module – Pine – Flip Grater and band – hosted
by….Wammo and Spanky!

The Repertory Theatre has a proud history, having hosted live
performances in Christchurch since 1929, and it looks forward to its
400th production this year. Though 2008 welcomes another year of great
entertainment for this bastion of live performance, it is found in
desperate need of earthquake strengthening and renovation.

The Theatre is a protected site, but the Repertory will be forced to
close, and may fall into the hands of commercial developers, if
sufficient funds are not raised to complete a planned theatre ‘re-stage’.
To raise awareness and funds for the Repertory Theatre, and many more
buildings like it across the country, a unique concert featuring
Jeremiah Ross (aka Module), Pine and Flip Grater, will take place in
July. This seated concert event will showcase these local gems in the
less conventional setting of this stunning theatre.

The entertainment...

Jeremiah Ross (aka Module)
Perhaps most recognised in his electronic work as Module, and even more
so for his soundtrack being included in the well-known ‘Have a Love
Affair with Wellington’ TV ad campaign. Curtain Call will see Jeremiah
Ross explore his contemporary classical piano repertoire as heard on
both Fly My Pretties albums. The Repertory Theatre will highlight this
versatile musician’s diverse talents – prepare to be awestruck.

Pine
Christchurch based popsters Pine have been impressing crowds on the
local and international scene for more than a decade, with their clever,
catchy songs. “A splendid combination of Britpop and jangly Kiwi pop” is
how their sound is described at www.muzik.net, and all the more splendid
is their interesting instrumentation - they rely on a minimal line-up of
electric guitar organ and snare. Rip it Up can’t get enough of them
either, writing that “Pine have not only revisited the long forgotten
art of writing simple songs with simple melodies but aren't too far off
perfecting it."

Flip Grater with Band
Flip Grater has performed her introverted indie-folk songs with a number
of New Zealand’s premiere artists, several international artists and has
performed at the prestigious SXSW festival in Texas. Her song Long
Awaited Sigh was recently heard on the season final soundtrack for hit
US TV show, Brothers And Sisters and her song Where’s The Door was
featured on a SAFE TV3 Ad campaign.
Flip’s sophomore release Be All And End All is due out July 2008. She
will be performing at Curtain Call with her new band including Kris
Wilson (banjo), Simon Hall (mandolin, electric guitar) and Simon Brouwer
(drums).

This is a fundraiser event – all proceeds will be donated the Repertory
Theatre Society. Show your support for this very worthwhile casue and
get your tickets now from Real Groovy and participating Underground
Coffee stores for $25 (or $20 with your RDUnited card).

Proudly sponsored by: RDU, Maiden Records, CHART, Underground Coffee,
