from Seminal English post-punk band The
Fall are to return to Auckland, New Zealand – 28 years
after playing the shows which Flying Nun released as the
peerless live album, Fall In A Hole. But now Mark E. Smith
and The Fall are to set it all straight, and bring their
bristling brand of social complaint to the Powerstation on
December 13. Now in their 34th year of existence,
The Fall are the rarest of anomalies in pop culture: a band
whose currency has risen with each successive release. This
year saw Your Future Our Clutter – their 28th studio album
– issued to acclaim, astonishment, and admiration. Mark E. Smith has reshuffled the line-up of The Fall
countless times over the years, and as a result, The Fall
have remained fresh, vital and energised. Legendary UK DJ
John Peel memorably summed up The Fall with the phrase,
“Always different, always the same”. The Fall recorded
24 Peel Sessions between 1978 and 2004 – a feat unequalled
by anybody else.
Additionally, Smith has lent his
inimatable vocal approach to many other artists over the
years, including Coldcut, Mouse On Mars, Edwyn Collins, and
most recently, Gorillaz on their album Plastic Beach. The Fall return to New Zealand for the first time in 20
years, this December at the Powerstation. Make sure you
don’t miss out on witnessing this band’s legendary scorn
and energy on this very rare appearance. ends

There have
been many live albums since Fall In A Hole, but only one
further opportunity to bear witness to The Fall’s
uncompromising and unforgettable live experience in New
Zealand: and that was 20 years ago.
