Home Alone Music warmly invites you to our third annual Christmas Party. As per tradition, we will be holding the concert in an intimate location (previous venues include Evil Genius, Aro Valley Hall and mid-winter at The Moorings) featuring the Home Alone family; the wonderful City Oh Sigh, haunting dream-folksters French for Rabbits, anti-folk hero Timothy Blackman and electro-utopian trio Urbantramper.
We have found a great location near central Wellington/Newtown, and will be providing some food and drink, but BYO booze. The party also doubles as the release of City Oh Sigh's new music video and single from their debut album due out early next year.
It has been a great year for Home Alone Music, with a string of releases; Timothy Blackman's much admired 'This Country' EP, Urbantramper's brilliant 'Tomorrow We Leave Here', and French for Rabbits dreamy single 'Goat'. This will be the first show back in New Zealand for French for Rabbits since their successful 45-date tour through Europe. Performances on the night will be recorded for a potential H.A.M compilation live release.
Urbantramper's song Sailors has been included in the shortlist for the 2013 APRA Silver Scroll awards. The Silver Scrolls is NZ's most prestigious songwriting award and just 20 songs are on the short list.
New Urbantramper EP: Tomorrow We Leave Here.
Home Alone Music is proud to announce the release of Urbantramper's new EP: Tomorrow We Leave Here.
Tomorrow We Leave Here is a collection of electric sea shanties written for the Poor Sailors Arts Collective production: NeverBefore: A Colony for Urban Change.
ElectricUTOPIAN three piece Urbantramper are the latest addition to the Home Alone roster. Stalwarts of the Wellington music scene, they've released five full length albums and three EPs over their 10 year lifespan. Urbantramper combine sounds from the 80s, 90s and Tomorrow to create the soundtrack to the future we forgot. DIY pop for the wireless.
The band features Lake (vocals, bass, keys, midi fighter), Andy Hoy (drums, midi triggers), and Phil Jones (keys, backing vocals, bass).
