Music News - Neko Case Announces Support Act
24 February 2014 - 0 Comments
Selected by Neko Case, New Zealand’s very own urban urchin Little Bark and a her new band will open the Auckland show on 14th March at Auckland’s Powerstation.
Little Bark has had critical and radio success with her debut album Hope is Rubbery, and is set to release her sophomore album USB in 2014, produced by Stef Animal (The Golden Awesome, Mestar). She’s released two singles to whet the appetite, including Modern Love (reaching the top 10 on Radio Active and KiwiFM) and New York and the Dead.
Neko Case’s first album in over four years, The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You was released to wide critical acclaim in September 2013. The Worse Things Get is Neko’s most precise, urgent record to date, marked by a melodic immediacy, a loving embrace of the big rock gesture, and a lyrical frankness typified by first single Man, in which she warns “I’m a man…you’ll deal with me directly.”
"My brain wilderness is more dense and dangerous than I thought,” says Case. “It was an embarrassing and hilarious march, but I now feel like a more streamlined being. It's a good feeling. Four years of my life took ten years hostage, then gave me back twelve."
Case’s 2009 album Middle Cyclone was the best-reviewed and fastest-selling of her career to date. It debuted at #3 on US Billboard Top 200 and earned two Grammy nominations. NPR hailed Case as “one of the most memorable and seductive voices in music” while The New York Times Magazine said “her voice is a force of nature” and Rolling Stone USA called her “indie’s greatest singer.”
With all these accolades, an incredible new album and a career with such reliably stunning output it is always with much anticipation and delight that we announce that NEKO CASE will be playing Auckland. Neko last toured here in January 2010 so it’s been a long wait.
