No Doggy! Share Debut Kids Single 'Grubby Buggy Buddies' + Announce 'Picnic Lunch' Album Release Show
As relatable to small human beings as it is to those increasingly ageing taller people known as "adults", 'Grubby Buggy Buddies' is the singalong debut single from Tāmaki Makaurau kids band No Doggy! Featuring members of such fab local groups as N. T. Honey, The Crabbs, The Brunettes and P.H.F, this even more wholesome musical combo includes Stephen Hart, Anya Henis, Peter Smith and Nigel Wright. They've announced a whole dang album of new tunes named Picnic Lunch, recorded at Ukaipō Studios by James Dansey (Āku Hapa, The Sneaks, Spring Break, Thee Golden Geese) and featuring artwork by Sophie Watson, out on limited edition CD on 24th July via Sunreturn.
To celebrate this momentous release, No Doggy! are hosting you guessed it a Picnic Lunch midday party at Freemans Bay Community Centre on 8th August, accessible to all-ages with free parking available. A show so cool that rock 'n' soul funsters Thee Golden Geese are reforming especially to play at it. Note the set times and accessibility details below, and bring the whole whānau...
"Teamwork makes the No Doggy! dream work... I think any song that is fun or interesting is pretty universally enjoyed, whether it's kids or older-beings. We hope that's where No Doggy! songs land.
My mum likes to remind me of when I was little and I would often stop (lag behind) examining leaves and bugs. Grubby Buggy Buddies extends on this a bit, to someone who likes adding to their family with bug friends. I love that kids are the best and least judgemental friends. It doesn't matter if you're tiny or slimy or shy or grubby. You can be my mate, and you can join my family." - Stephen Hart
