This February, eight friends will cast off the shackles of big city life and venture out from the borders of Auckland in a rickety old bus to solve the mystery of the True Meaning of Summer and to share their music with the country along the way. There will be adventure, laughter, tears, thrills and endless arguments over what CD to listen to in the van. It will be emotional.
The Glory Sea are a four-piece indie pop'n'roll super group who like to play melodic anthems, dancey ballads and the occasional cowbell. They have two EPs under their collective belts and recently released a new single, When We're Apart, which you can have a head-nod to by checking them out at:

Dusty Doves are a folky pop-rock outfit, combining the odd bit of banjo and mandolin with assorted '80s keyboard sounds. A five-piece band, Dusty Doves can't wait to play some tunes from their self-titled EP, and share some new material.

Shadow Feet is the project of songster Ellen Sørensen. Original folk-pop not to be missed.

Joining us on the Hamilton leg of our tour is Sleeptalkers, who write about their lives, blending a summery mix of shoe-gazer indie rock with pop. Currently working on their debut album, these boys will leave you with a hop in your step and a sweet tune in your ear.
