BIG CHILL BAR :: DLT:: 03/05/06
An unexpected email from New Zealand has caused a change to our previously announced schedule. In England to document the Pasifika Styles exhibition at Cambridge University (check www.pasifikastyles.org.uk for more details), DLT will be dropping by the East End of London to spin a few tunes next month. One of the founders of not only the Upper Hutt Posse but also Dam Native, as well as the man behind the hit single “Chains”, DLT is one of the few New Zealand musicians who can unequivocally be called a legend.
From: 7pm til 12am
On: Dray Walk, just off Brick Lane, London E1 6QL
Nearest tubes: Liverpool Street or Aldgate East

ISLINGTON ACADEMY :: THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION :: 01/06/06
Wellington’s The Phoenix Foundation bring their wonderfully lush and eclectic sound to London en route to a tour of the US of A.
The self described “heavy folk rockin wheat free mutha fxxxxxs” first made a splash with 2002’s “Horsepower” album, which came out on Capitol Recordings and was voted album of the year by nzmusic.com and the listener. But it was last year’s “Pegasus” that has kicked them into the big time, swiftly going gold back home as well as garnering critical acclaim.
Renowned for their strong live show, The Phoenix Foundation have played with the likes of the Finn Brothers, Calexico, SJD, Evan Dando and Cortina and play regular slots at some of New Zealand’s biggest festivals including The Big Day Out in 2005.
