Waiheke
Island resident blues/country outfit
Aaron
Carpenter & The Revelators are pleased to announce the
release of their self-titled E.P. - out today.
While The Band had the infamous Big
Pink, The Revelators work shopped, rehearsed and recorded all
songs in an 120 year old barn affectionately known as ‘El Barno’, the
perfect environment to disappear and focus on writing whilst simultaneously
being inspired by the natural surroundings.
The E.P. was tracked, engineered, mixed & mastered by Daryl Tapsell of Blackdoor Studios.
Recorded live, the songs retain the raw electric energy of a live performance
from the opening 70’s blues rock track
Never
Hungry Long to the gentler electric country ballad
Stranger.
Of his songs, front man Carpenter says "It was Steve Earle who said “
Lonely
is a temporary condition and lonesome is an incurable, terminal hole in your
heart you could drive a semi-truck through”. I took him at his word
and my life over the last 12 years has been etched in every nuance of these
songs. I didn't release the E.P. to just 'get some songs out', I released them
to rid me of my demons."
Aaron Carpenter & Revelators will be performing at Q Theatre on
December 10th and the Leigh Sawmill Cafe on December 28th.
