Music News - Avalanche City's New Zealand Tour
14 March 2016 - 0 Comments
Avalanche
City will tour throughout New
Zealand this May and June on the ‘Little
Fire’ tour, with support from singer/songwriter Ciaran McMeeken. The
run will celebrate Avalanche
City’s latest single of the same name, which has been quickly
gaining favour across New Zealand as a most-added song on NZ radio.
Dave Baxter (Avalanche
City) will bring music from the album – We Are For The Wild Places -
to some of the most beautiful venues across New Zealand on an extensive
all-ages 10-date tour; his largest national run yet. Baxter will be joined
on the road by his touring band, and all of the accompanying instruments one
would expect of an Avalanche
City performance.
Avalanche City’s
long-awaited sophomore album We Are For The Wild Places is the mature follow-up to an
accidental hit career, launched to critical acclaim. Released last year, the
record debuted at #3 on the Official Top 40 Albums Chart (and also peaked at #1
on the iTunes album chart).
The album’s beautiful first single, Inside Out was a chart and radio smash hit – reaching #1 airplay for five consecutive
weeks. The track quickly reached platinum sales and peaked at #1 on the sales
chart, remaining consistently active in the top 10 on iTunes.
The second official single from the album, Keep Finding A Way also received extensive airplay, peaking at #25 on the airplay chart.
Baxter hit the road shortly after releasing We Are For The Wild Places last year, performing sold-out theatre
shows in major centres throughout New Zealand and thoroughly impressing his
fans in the process with the live rendition of the album.
We Are For The Wild Places (mixed by Death
Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla) is a mature and fitting follow-up
to Avalanche City’s
debut album - Our New Life Above The Ground, which spawned the Silver Scroll-winning
single, Love Love Love (currently at 2.5million views on YouTube!).
Supporting Avalanche
City for the full tour is singer-songwriter Ciaran McMeeken, who is
drawing attention with his strong lyricism and unique blend
of emotive acoustic pop.
With his self released debut EP The Valley in 2014, McMeeken caught
the attention of acclaimed producer Greg
Haver, who worked with McMeeken to produce the seven-track Screaming Man EP, receiving
much acclaim upon it’s release late last year.
After a successful week-long jaunt around regional radio stations as part
of the NZ On Air regional radio initiative in February and a stint rubbing
shoulders with the best songwriters in the business as part of APRA-NZ On Air's Song Hubs programme, McMeeken is
excited to get back behind his guitar and play live on the Avalanche City tour. Ciaran McMeeken's
sophomore EP Screaming Man is available to download now.
The Avalanche City Little Fire tour is for all ages and is proudly presented by More FM and The Edge.
