Tāmaki Makaurau jangle rockers Cowboy Dan are releasing their debut full length album; Dreams That Feel Like Falling. The album drops 19 September on streaming & vinyl.
Never overblown or overproduced, Dreams That Feel Like Falling is direct and intimate. 11 tracks of warmth, sincerity and brashness that strike a balance of breeze and overdrive.
To celebrate the release, Cowboy Dan are heading out for a run of shows throughout Te Ika-a-Māui in September and October.
Porridge Watson holds a special place in the hearts of Cowboy Dan - what a time was had last run. This time out we are thrilled to have two Manawatu-based bands whose music we have adored from afar for a while, joining the good times. We are so pleased to share the bill with Persimmon and Our Beloved Ditch. This show will be FREE 'cause, well, lets just fill the room with good people and good times shall we?X
Once aptly described as The Bats on the right amount of Red Bull, Cowboy Dan has 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.
Off the back of two delightful EPs: We Will Hesitate, When We Eventually Wait (2017, Mixed by Jonathan Pearce); Sentimental Now That We're Leaving (2021, Mixed by Rohan Evans), the debut LP, Dreams That Feel Like Falling, is a continuation and a few steps forward, showcasing the bands expansive sonic pallet, with a mix of distortion, introspection, heart and bite.
Jangle-pop band Persimmon hail from Te Papaioea, the group have returned to Aotearoa after time away in Melbourne / Naarm, bringing us home a sound reminiscent of '80s / '90s Flying Nun, Dick Diver and Stella Donnelly.
Our Beloved Ditch are a 3-piece Manawatu-renaissance post-punk no wave post-folk group from Te Papaioea.
Gather your pals and get ready for a freeeeeee night of feeling fine and festive.
