Ōtepoti-based folk-pop quartet Laney Blue are on their way up the country in support of the release of their debut album 'Dreamer Too', playing Wunderbar on April 30 and joined on the evening by Ōtautahi locals Violet French and the Horrible, and Joe Sampson & Friends.
With honest, heartfelt and at times melancholic story-telling, Laney Blue mixes pop’s melodic sensibilities with the noise and racket of Dunedin music stalwarts. Fronted by Olive Butler (Repulsive Woman, Adelaide Cara) and Nick Tipa (Violet-Ohs, A Distant City) and supported by friends and musicians-in-arms Jeremy Clark (Fazed on a Pony) and Zac Nicholls (Koizilla, Space Bats Attack!), Laney Blue promises to win over Aotearoa, one heart at a time.
A meeting of some of the finest musical minds Otautahi has to offer; The Horrible come together to convey Violet French’s otherworldly songwriting. Blending elements of folksong with pop sensibilities, overdriven guitars and healthy lashings of retro psychedelia, The Horrible’s broad range of musical explorations, and expertise, come together to create something altogether unique. An energetic, dark, and mysterious entity. Their live shows promise to move you in ways you didn’t know you could, Violet French and The Horrible are irresistible.
