Music News - Ladyhawke announces New Zealand concert dates
28 April 2016 - 0 Comments
Ladyhawke has announced three New Zealand concert dates
in support of her new album, Wild Things (released June 3).
The Wild Things tour will see Ladyhawke and her band perform at CPSA in Christchurch on Thursday July 21, Wellington’s
Bodega on Friday July 22and will finish up in Auckland at the Powerstation on Friday July 23.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 12pm on Friday May 6.
It’s been five years since Ladyhawke’s more
aurally angular follow-up, Anxiety, which yielded
the stand-out, synch-friendly single, Blue Eyes. Like its predecessor Ladyhawke, the album
charted in the U.K.’s Top 40 and in Australia’s and New Zealand’s Top 20,
respectively. Her first album’s joyous, ’80s-electrified breakout
singles, ‘Paris Is
Burning’ and My
Delirium, made an impact Stateside as well,
sound-tracking Ugly
Betty, CSI: Miami, Top Gear, and other
shows. My Delirium likewise vaulted up New Zealand’s and Australia’s Top 10 singles chart, going
platinum in Australia and hit No. 33 in the U.K.
“People wonder why there’s
always a massive gap between my albums,” says Brown. “The reason is both complicated and
easy. The simple explanation: I’ve never released anything I’m not proud of.
That’s important to me. I wanted this album to reflect the frame of mind I was
in when creating it. I tried very hard to change my life for the better, and to
create a positive and bright environment to exist in. This album really is a
reflection of the headspace I found myself in after achieving this. Colourful
is one word in particular that springs to mind.”
Brown’s conviction to authenticity led her on this third album journey, which
started back in 2013. She scrapped a full album’s worth of material before
taking around a year to craft the blissed-out Wild Things with producer Tommy English (Børns, Tiësto, Dark Waves),
whom she met through her L.A. neighbour, tattoo artist/musician Kat Von D.
“I think I went even more
synthy and poppy this time around,” Brown says of the buoyant Wild Things. “I feel good for the first time in 10
years. I have a clear mind! I have a wife. I feel stable. That is what I’m
celebrating.”
Wild Things features the hit single, A Love Song,
and is released June 3.
