Wellington's best loved restaurant, cocktail bar and late night haunt is kicking off it's annual birthday ho-down with a
sonic evening of sound courtesy of Recloose.
On Sunday July 31, Matterhorn and LOOP Recordings Aot(ear)oa are proud to present the premier of Recloose's live band -

really want - a chance to shake what ya momma gave ya!

Fly My Pretties 2
LOOP Recordings Aot(ear)oa are pleased to confirm that the rumours are true…
Building on the tremendous success of last year's collaborative event, Fly My Pretties is returning with a new line-up,
and a new flock of tunes to set you free.
Recently, Fly My Pretties was nominated for 6 B-net nominations (receiving Best Pop Album), achieved gold-status, and is
being released in the UK. In another exciting development, a new Fly My Pretties incarnation recently performed a
four-show season at The Leigh Sawmill Café to full houses.
In Fly My Pretties 2, Barnaby Weir will once again take the stage with a new who's who of local kiwi talent (a secret
being kept close to LOOP's hearts for nowŠ) to perform, record, and film a season of live performances, which will then
be released on album.
Building on last year's efforts, Fly My Pretties 2 is going to be performed in both Wellington and Auckland in late
September.
Tickets to the shows will be available from Real Groovy as of July 14th. The dates are:
Paramount Theatre - Wellington

THE VIDEO KID
MUSIC VIDEO - CCTV
'SECURITY - YOU DON'T BOTHER ME…
In the age of surveillance, it's reassuring to see that one person hasn't lost their sense of humour. Directed by UK
based New Zealand filmmaker Andrew Johnson, and shot on the grey streets of London and Berlin, this is the latest video
from The Video Kid's album Prototype. CCTV sees our hero Bret McKenzie putting on a hilarious cabaret for the cameras in
our daily lives. Sporting his trademark tracksuits, and 'stunning' dance repertoire, CCTV is classic.
In other Video Kid news, the tune 'Video Kid' has recently featured on the latest Back To Mine compilation by the Pet
Shop Boys, and being distributed worldwide.
His album Prototype is in store now!!
