April Fish (WGTN)
This November, Bright Yellow Beetle Records is proud to
present Freaky Meat (AK) on their first national tour to
support the release of their debut album ‘Delicatessen’.
April Fish (WGTN) will be supporting Freaky Meat on all
dates.
------------------------------------
FREAKY MEAT are a dynamic and innovative act who have
successfully combined elements of Jazz, Funk and Rock with
beat-speak styles inspired by Jack Kerouac, C. R. Avery, Gill
Scot Heron, and Captain Beefheart.
Premiere Auckland beat-poet Shane Hollands is joined by
accomplished musicians John McNab (guitar), James Percy
(drums), and Rod Redgrave (bass), who create atmospheric
soundscapes which are complemented by Hollands’ mesmerizing
narratives of life, travels, experiences and people.
Freaky Meat are seasoned performers in Auckland's live scene,
recently joining forces with the likes of Andrew Fagan and
The People, Black Sand Diva and The Neo-Kalashnikovs.
In 2010 they released their single 'Monkey Shines' and the
follow-up EP: 'Late Night Kebab'.
2011 has seen the release of the single 'Lament of Paris' and
their recently released debut album ‘Delicatessen’ which is
available now from www.amplifier.co.nz
Reviews for Delicatessen:
“[Delicatessen is] full of twists and turns, and moves
seamlessly between jazz, rock and funk, reminding me
sometimes of Howard Shore’s score for the movie of William S.
Burroughs’ Naked Lunch... if you like to delve a bit deeper
into your music and are prepared to think of this more as
poetry set to music then I think you’d better give this album
a listen”

APRIL FISH are an alternative duo based in Wellington. They
met on Cuba Street towards the end of 2010, where John
impressed Katie with his jazz-fused improvisations while
busking on his 11-string Warr Guitar.
Combining forces to create a fusion of theatrical vocals,
animated piano and solid guitar grooves, April Fish are a
lively, up-and-coming act that will leave you wanting more!
They recently opened for Amanda Palmer (of The Dresden Dolls)
on her 2011 New Zealand tour, and have continued to generate
a cult following of their own, both online and at their live
shows.
Their independently released debut EP ‘Flailing Beautifully’
is out now and available from www.aprilfish.co.nz
