The stage is set for the
return of Ladyhawke.
The super-talented Kiwi
singer-songwriter is back in New Zealand to play two gigs as part of her WILD THINGS tour,
which has been wowing audiences around the world.
Ladyhawke, whose real name is Pip Brown, and her band
will perform at Wellington’s Bodega on Friday, July 22 with
support from DJ
Martyn Pepperell. Pepperell is a well-known and loved Wellington DJ and
music identity.
Ladyhawke performs at the Powerstation in Auckland on Saturday, July 23,
with Openside as support.
The Auckland-based Openside have had
a massive year, picking up a bunch of attention for their catchy single Branches, as well as winning over a ton of new fans
opening for Twenty
One Pilots in Auckland and playing at the inaugural Auckland City Limits Festival.
The band have caused a stir online with their incredible covers of Taylor Swift’s Style and Major Lazer’s Lean On.
Ladyhawke’s two New Zealand shows follow sold-out gigs in
the UK, the States and Australia’s East Coast. And in keeping with her
reputation as one of music’s most enigmatic performers, the Masterton-born
singer has drawn rave reviews.
“She gets up on stage with a
huge boost from the audience, with big Dr Martens boots, skinny black jeans and
a shimmery bomber jacket, loaded with attitude... ready to give the crowd what
they came for, a piece of her undeniable talent.” Louder Than War: The Gorilla in
Manchester, June 2016.
The WILD THINGS world tour follows the recent release of her critically acclaimed third album
of the same name, which contains the catchy singles A Love Song and The River.
"Wild Things is an
excellent step into upbeat, positive songwriting for Brown... the album
holds together very well, exuding optimism and warmth. Between the catchy
hooks, throbbing synths, and very real emotions, Wild Things is Brown’s
best album yet" – Renowned For Sound
"Wild Things is a
celebration for Brown, a celebration of love, good times, newfound clarity, and
getting her groove back" – New Zealand Herald
With a busy schedule locked down for the rest of 2016, this could be New
Zealanders’ last chance to see Ladyhawke live on home soil this year, so tickets to both shows are selling fast.
