You may have sensed rumblings or felt the winds change over the past few months. You may have noticed a quiet stirring. Well ‘Wings of Desire’, Hemi Hemingway’s sophomore album, is being released into the world on 20th February through PNKSLM Recordings - with the help of Secretly Canadian Distribution. And to celebrate, Hemi and his full band are coming to Tāmaki Makaurau to make Neck of the Woods the site of a sweaty, gothy album launch party a week later, on Friday 27th February.
Performing songs from the new album, Hemi & the Snowflakes will also be joined by Big Sur and Roy Irwin (solo) to help with the celebrations.
If you wanna live on the wings of desire, grab your tickets and secure yourself a spot.

At the start of 2023, a post-pandemic nurse (Niamh Pritchard) makes a move from New Zealand’s capital back to the sub-tropics of Auckland. By mid-23, after moving into one of the city’s last remaining urban farms, the band Big Sur was formed. Joined by old-time friends Hugo Butler, Rocky Parsons, Tane Moore & Evie Bamford- the first tracks of their debut EP ‘Black Mountain’ were laid.
