Jangle darlings Cowboy Dan have been treating audiences across the motu to energetic, emotionally charged tunes since 2015. Their live shows have consistently delivered good times to fans and new friends alike.
Hitting the road with some new tunes bursting out, Cowboy Dan also continue to celebrate the release of their 2025 debut album, about which, Under the Radar said: the Tāmaki Makaurau collective reemerged with eleven sparkling and assured new songs, bundled together as Dreams That Feel Like Falling. Balancing from-the-heart poetic reflections with power-pop / college rock oomph and a jangly love for melody reminiscent at times of R.E.M (a refreshingly rare touchstone at the moment) and such fabled Flying Nun combos as The Bats and J.P.S.E, their debut album feels lovingly crafted and joyously executed.
Cowboy Dan with Happy Accidents and guests
Whanganui - Saturday 11 July at Porridge Watson:
Continuing one of Cowboy Dan’s favourite tour traditions: jangling into town, throwing open the doors to Porridge and saying, let's party with a free show - lets fill up this wonderful venue and have some good times.
With support from Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s Happy Accidents: A creature in the dark, escaping….. Happy Accidents takes inspiration from the brooding moodiness and pulsating rhythms of The Cure and Massive Attack and steers it in a heavier direction. Their songs are often built around a simple groove designed to get its hooks into your skin and pull you into the trance, music that you can feel as well as hear, best listened to late at night in a darkened room…..
Aaaaaaaand more support to be announced soon…we are excited about what's brewing!
