Young Moon-The Slow Tour

New Zealand-based dream pop/shoegaze DIY recording artist YOUNG MOON is embarking on a highly anticipated SLOW TOUR in August 2024, taking their energetic and dynamic live performance across Aotearoa.

Trevor Montgomery, formerly of TARENTEL & LAZARUS, has been writing and recording brooding ballads and blissful psychedelia as YOUNG MOON for over a decade. Utilizing vintage drum machines and atmospheric synths, Montgomery has a talent for lo-fi tracks with genuine
lyrics exploring love, life, and death.

San Francisco ex-pat, Montgomery now calls Whakatū (Nelson) home. He continues to write and record with YOUNG MOON - now transformed into a full live band experience with close friends from the Te Tau Ihu music community.

YOUNG MOON will showcase material from the band’s full back-catalog. This includes the albums Navigated Like the Swan (2012) and Colt (2016), and the stunning 2023 Orindal Records release Triggered by Sunsets.

Tour Guests:

BLENHEIM-WELLINGTON-CHRISTCHURCH: Te Whanganui-a-Tara singer and DIY recording artist TIMOTHY BLACKMAN makes records drawing from deeply personal experiences in hyper realistic narratives. In 2019 he released Brightest Days, his first album in eight years, written during a period of time spent hiding out on the East Cape. Five years on he is back performing shows, testing out new songs before embarking on a new recording project backed by guitar and sometimes a small band.

"Vogelmorn Upstairs is not a wheelchair accessible building. There is an accessible
bathroom in the space. This is an all ages venue but those under the age of 16 must be
accompanied by a designated adult after 8pm. The Vogelmorn Precinct is a community
space located in a residential area. With that in mind, the team ask that you be kind to
others' and that when you leave the gig, you do so quietly to avoid disturbing our
neighbours.”

“The Upstairs Bar and Smoked and Pickled Restaurant will be open from 3pm, to book a
table for pre-show kai email Alice at smokednpickled@gmail.com”
