Flip Grater to Tour in September
03.08.10
Flip Grater is pleased to announce a nationwide tour in support of the release of her new album While I'm Awake I'm At War.
Described as having traces of PJ Harvey, a sprinkling of Cat Power and a touch of Suzanne Vega, Flip Grater's music has established her as one of our country's beloved indie-folk artists. With over six years of creating a sound she is renowned for, the release of an EP, two critically acclaimed albums (2006's Cage For A Song and 2008's Be All And End All), a published book and a tour history that has seen her meandering through 11 or so countries, Flip recently decided to make the move from Christchurch to Auckland to record and release her latest musical offering.
Flip Grater's third studio album, While I'm Awake I'm At War is released on Flip's own label Maiden Records. The 11-track album was recorded at The Lab in Mt Eden, was produced by singer/songwriter/producer Tim Guy and a features a stellar line-up of musicians including Geoff Maddock (Goldenhorse, Anika Moa), Gareth Thomas (Goodshirt), Matt Short (The Feelers), Dianne Swann (The Bads), Chris O'Connor (Don McGashen), Richie Setford (Bannerman) and LA Mitchell (The Dukes).
