Since their inception in late 2005 Auckland band An Emerald City have strived for musical experimentation and liberation. Organic instrumentation and sounds of the east meet psychedelia, while guitars and violin and strange eastern beats and instruments are at the centre of this original and unique 5 piece.
The summer of 2007/2008 unleashed an array of summer performances that included the likes of; Soundsplash, Rhythm and Vines, bFM's Summer Series and Shore Sounds. WOMAD saw an emerald city perform to over 1200 people across their two performances. This is also where NZders and the world got their first opportunity to purchase a slice of An Emerald city - their debut self titled e.p. - if you missed out, never fear now is your chance to get a piece of this truly original band.
The 4 trk e.p features two of the bNet favourites 'Qing song' and 'A Thousand Stars At Night' recorded at Clockwork studios in Auckland with Nick Taylor . The e.p also features 2 new songs 'Mr. Finn' and the new single 'A Question', which were both recorded at Roundhead studios with Liam Finn and Jol Mulholland. The EP also features amazing artwork work by Will Handley.
