Press Release:

Mick Harvey is one of the coolest guys in the world. He co-founded The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds with Nick Cave, he's played with and produced records for PJ Harvey, he's recorded albums for the likes of Roland S. Howard and Anita Lane, and somehow managed to find time to release a handful of his own fantastic solo albums in between!

Here in New Zealand for his first headlining solo tour, Mick Harvey is bringing his tried and tested live trio (Mick, Rosie Westbrook, JP Shiloh) to shake out some demons from his latest work "Sketches From The Book Of The Dead", and no doubt some surprises from up his long and fabled sleeve!
