Martin Phillipps solo/The Chills
one-off shows announced for Auckland.
Dunedin
based band The Chills are pleased to
announce they will be performing a one-off Auckland show
Friday 29 July at The Kings Arms.
Joining them on stage will be another seminal Dunedin
band - The Puddle.
This show will follow The Chills founder Martin Phillipps' solo performance in support of the Hone Tuwhare Trust Thursday 7 July at The Classic Theatre.
Martin comments:
"I am really getting lots of enjoyment out of
my music at present and it will be great fun to have the 5
piece band we took to Australia last year on stage again.
Regarding the solo show supporting the idea of a writers
residence around Hone's crib, Kaka Point is a wonderful
environment and I am sure it will prove to be creatively
stimulating for many people. I am proud to have been
asked to participate in this benefit gig."

Chills played 2 sold out shows to critical acclaim
in Sydney and Melbourne last year and have had their music
