'Something Going On' NZ Tour

Friday 21st April - Blue Smoke, Christchurch
Andrew Keoghan & Flip Grater Live
Tickets via UnderTheRadar / Map

The Christchurch show sees two of the city's favourite globetrotting songwriters share the stage at Blue Smoke, with Keoghan joined by indie-folk artist Flip Grater. For Flip Grater, the evening marks a welcome return to the stage after a year's maternity leave. She'll perform a slew of news songs and those from 2014's Pigalle. Recorded in Paris, Pigalle received applause across European media, including German Rolling Stone, French Elle, Gracia and Cosmo.

Tuesday 25th April - Northcote Social Club, Melbourne
Andrew Keoghan & Lisa Crawley Live
Tickets via Eventbrite / Map

Keoghan plays Melbourne this Anzac Day, alongside dreamy melodic-pop songstress Lisa Crawley. With a back catalogue that boasts two albums and three EPs, coupled with countless collaborations, tours, television appearances and acclaimed music-based projects, Lisa Crawley has well and truly earned her reputation as one of Australasia's most well-respected musicians.

Thursday 27th April - Meow, Wellington
Andrew Keoghan & Eva Prowse Live
Tickets via UnderTheRadar / Map

At Wellington's Meow on April 27, Eva Prowse rounds out the billing. Perhaps best known for her contributions to the Fly My Pretties live concert series and with a voice likened to Kate Bush, Prowse will showcase songs from her 2016 synth-pop album Humid Nights.

Friday 28th April - The Tuning Fork, Auckland
Andrew Keoghan with special guest Madeira
Tickets from Ticketmaster / Map

Keoghan's Auckland show at The Tuning Fork will be opened by special guest Madeira, the alt-pop project of Kim Pflaum, formerly of Yumi Zouma. Pflaum's 2016 EP Bad Humours, released on esteemed American label Carpark Records, revels in elevated synth-pop, while tackling heartache and betrayal. It garnered attention from tastemaker music blogs The Fader, Nylon and Stereogum.

The tour accompanies the release of his new single, 'Something Going On' off his critically acclaimed second album Every Orchid Offering. Easily a standout track with its haunting refrain, Keoghan's latest single is a wry narrative about a long distance relationship, supported by Cure-esk guitar, impeccable bass playing and soft beds of vocal harmonies. It's as if Paul McCartney and Bryan Ferry each took a break from McCartney II and Flesh and Blood in 1980, to conjure this into existence.

Praise for 'Every Orchid Offering'

'If anything, it reminds me of David Bowie’s similarly genreless or the work of Kirin J Callinan, but possessed by an exquisite chamber-pop grace befitting Grizzly Bear or Dirty Projectors'. – Stereogum

'A forward-thinking, intelligent, left-field pop album' – The Listener

'An audacious and fascinating musical kaleidoscope' – That Music Mag

'Admirably uncompromising. It will pay large dividends over many listens' – Elsewhere
