Tally Ho!, 95bFM & Groove Guide present
the Mountain Goats (usa)

Wednesday 17th December : The Kings Arms Tavern : Auckland
Thursday 18th December : San Fran Bath House : Wellington

John Darnielle and Peter Hughes return to New Zealand on the back of their latest album 'Heretic Pride' and this time they're bringing their cohort, drummer Jon Wurster, whom just happens to also be a member of Superchunk.

And just added to the two shows is SideKickNick...

Over the past nine years Nick Buckton has been working on his craft in different studios and bedrooms all over Auckland, bringing something different to bands such as; Polar,
Tokey Tones and Voom.

SideKickNick is Nick Buckton's solo project and 'Miscellaneous Adventures' is its debut album.

"Imagine a cartoon character from the Ween book, cut out and made emotionally volatile and absolutely believable, imbue him with classic sixties pop elements, traces of Pixies-like power pop and naive isolationist New Zealand music art and you might get the idea…it's the kind of thing Flying Nun should be releasing, and almost did with the last Mint Chicks album. Sheer brilliance" - Gary Steele, Metro

"…Miscellaneous Adventures goes by at a breakneck pace but that even on the most languorously-paced numbers there's a sense of restless energy, that Mr. Nick's knee is jiggling and that he already has is eye on some jaunty melody somewhere off in the middle distance" - Adele hunter-Higgins, Real Groove

As a live ensamble SideKickNick also includes Mike Franklin Brown (drums), Murray Fisher (bass), Brendon Morrow (keys/fruit/bvs)and Peter Hobbs (guitar/bvs),
