Arch Hill April News

Pine have a new EP out in May, there is a whole bunch of gigs happening in the Arch Hill department, and Luke Buda reveals his identical twin.

Pine EP out in May and Gig dates
Twelve Hour Collision is the name of the new Pine release featuring seven new tracks, as well as two live tracks and two live videos taken from their extended “House” tour of New Zealand. What is the ‘House” tour you may ask? Perhaps it was a just an excuse for a recording session, party, video shoot and live gig all rolled into one...and perhaps you get some of the results on “Twelve Hour Collision” . Or, perhaps it was a deliberate plan to move away from the traditional venue, poster, flier, radio kind of thing and bring a more intimate and personal setting to their shows. Either way, they did this up and down the country (Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland) and recorded everything on a portable pro-tools studio and filmed it on 16mm film....part one of this project being Twelve Hour Collision.

Pine May Tour Dates

Saturday 5th of May – Wine Cellar – Auckland
Friday 11th May – Harbourlight – with John White and his twelve piece band

Luke Buda and his Identical Twin
Check out the cool new video by Luke Buda for “Special Surprise” on youtube, directed by the very talented Luke Savage and produced by the Fish n Clips gang. Luke gets together with his identical twin at a Scandinavian recording studio to bring you something very uplifting...
