The Feelers

In October, New Zealand's most successful rock act venture off the beaten track into our nation's heartland for a series of very special shows.

The feelers are heading off the usual path of "national tours" which only visit the main centres to take their music to those New Zealanders not necessarily on "the main trunk line".

The Heartland tour runs throughout October and early November, and sees the feelers visit towns from Waipu to Twizel, playing in the town halls and community centres usually neglected by the modern music business.

The tour is an acknowledgment of the support the feelers have always had from the length and breadth of New Zealand, and the shows will be about connecting with the grass roots in the provinces, which have always been an important part of the band's Audience.

The Heartland shows have been conceived as special events, and to reflect this, the band has worked up an exclusive set, with brand new arrangements of some of the feelers' classics. Tailor-made for the more intimate environments of the smaller venues, some of these special versions utilise piano and strings - and it is promised that these will be feelers performances unlike any others. Apart from these never-to-be-repeated interpretations, fans expecting the feelers' more familiar full-powered rock anthems will not be disappointed: the Heartland shows will also include the energetic, full-power approach that has won hearts and minds across the nation.

In the ten years since the multi-award winning group emerged from their Christchurch hometown, eighteen of the feelers' singles have charted, with four of those being number one smashes. The band has released four albums -- all of which have hit the number one spot in the New Zealand chart -- culminating in sales of over quarter of a million.
