Press Release:
The Others Way is proud to see another year of gloriously eclectic artistry in 2019’s artist lineup. It wouldn’t be an Others Way Festival without appearances from some NZ music royalty. Celebrated acts The Chills, Straitjacket Fits and Blam Blam Blam return to the stage for a ripper run through their beloved catalogues. It has been a big year for both The Chills and Straitjacket Fits with the release of a documentary (The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Martyn Phillipps) and an autobiography (Shayne Carter’s ‘Dead People I Have Known’); both critically-lauded pieces of work.
Celebrating the future of kiwi music, rap prodigies Church & AP, CHAII and Shiraz & LSJ are bound to bring the house down with their captivating performances. Bang your head guts out to Long Distance Runner, Echo Oh’s, DOG Power, Contenders and more. Introverted souls can be soothed by the earthy sounds of Bailey Wiley and the swirling, hypnotic tones of Mermaidens, or the engrossing sound waves of Creme Jean. The enigmatic Princess Chelsea will treat you to her mesmerizing dulcet pop tones (with glorious accompanying visuals) while wordsmith enchantress Being. and soon to be everyone’s favourite truth-tellers Bad Timing will steal your hearts and leave with you lots to think about.
Joining the artist alumni, psychedelic neo-soul/reggae superstar Troy Kingi, enchantresses Purple Pilgrims, folk luminary Reb Fountain, Dunedin hairaisers Soaked Oats, and shimmer poppers Hans Pucket (w/ full horn section) will delight and captivate in performances not to be missed. Peter Ruddell (one third of Wax Chattels) will perform his new solo project Sulfate, along with fresh new talent Vayne, synth-wave duo Crap Date, acid rock trio Linen, and Wellingtonian art-punk group Cortina reunite for a one off Auckland show!
More overseas acts join The Others Way lineup including Gary War (also supporting John Maus with Purple Pilgrims on two South Island headliner shows), Jen Cloher, Jade Imagine and kiwi indie darlings Tiny Ruins who will play the curated Milk! Records Stage at Hopetoun Alpha.
