MarineVille / Stef Animal / Solo Ono

MarineVille tread the boards in support of their brand new 12" Vinyl LP of NZ new wave Fowl Swoop; Stef Animal presents glorious post-Cocteau Twins solo synth; Solo Ono debut as a 2 piece surf-rock combo hailing from halfway between Wellington and Wanganui and release their new CD!

Long version:
Fowl Swoop is latest album from MarineVille. Each vinyl LP boasts a cover hand-screenprinted by the band themselves. "It's almost like the greats of alt-rock and new-wave have come together, asked Marineville to perform their tracks, and add that Flying-Nun, Dunedin sound to them." Dunedinmusic.com

Stef Animal - "Like Pet Shop Boys high on nitrous. A sensitive, ethereal keyboard driven singer/songwriter adventure - intelligent lyricism, new-wave/new romantic/electro-pop angst underneath a haunting alter-boy-on-smack voice... perhaps Goth, perhaps too subtle to be Goth" - Crude
