About Ringlets: Ragingly bright post-punk quartet Ringlets emerged from Aotearoa's musical ether in 2021; carving out space with their distinct blend of delicate wit, grit and evident sonic technicality. With a highly durable, machine-tested rhythm section (Arabella Poulsen, Arlo Grey) and two of Auckland's leading lyrical & melodic consultants (László Reynolds, Leith Towers), Ringlets have been fast-building a solid reputation. Catching the eye of former Pitchfork editor Chris Ott, Autumn 2023 saw the band release their eponymous debut under Ott's label Mutual Skies. Produced by De Stevens (Office Dog, Erny Belle) and the band themselves, the 10-track album is a riotous and tightly sporadic introduction to this exciting musical offering from Tāmaki Makaurau. Since then, the four-piece has been sharpening their toolkit with numerous performances across Aotearoa, supporting heavy-hitting internationals such as UK indie-rockers Sorry, and seminal punk force The Damned as well as stand-out festival performances at The Others Way, Junk Fest & Newtown Festival. The Lord Is My German Shepherd (Time for Walkies) Tracklisting 01. Posh Girl Holds a Whip 02. I Was on That Roof Once 03. Half an Idiot 04. Street Massage 05. Rolling Blunts on the Dresden Codex 06.

The Others Way Festival First Line-Up Announcement. And A Huge Plot Twist – We're Closing Down K Road
Press Release – 818. Tāmaki Makaurau's iconic street festival is back, and bigger than ever in every way imaginable! Yes, the first line-up of 29 mind-boggling acts for The Others Way has dropped, and yes, Saturday 29 November across Karangahape Road just became unmissable. Hot off the press, we're pinching ourselves at the news that headlining this year's festival is none other than Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, touring in support of their phenomenal self-titled album. Last seen here for an astonishing show at the majestic Civic Theatre, Sharon Van Etten has fully accepted her mantle as one of the world's great rock stars, fronting her gothic-tinged new quartet to widespread awe and acclaim. While we've roped in all your usual favourite venues for the festival, we didn't think we could squeeze Shazza down the back of Little Turkish Cafe, so for the first time ever we're closing down KARANGAHAPE ROAD! Expect the whole dang block between Queen Street and Pitt Street to transform into the party of your dreams, with our main stage landing right near the Rainbow crossing. As if that wasn't enough to get you scrambling for tickets, the rest of the lineup is scorching hotter than a Holden bonnet in late summer. Behold, Aotearoa's fabled masters of big noise High Dependency Unit, back to saturate your ears for their first live shows since 2017; Canadian 'sonic nonconformist' Saya Gray is headed our way for her debut NZ show; The Phoenix Foundation performing their recently reissued cult classic Pegasus in full; and Zambia's 'Zamrock' legends W.I.T.C.H. are intending to cause havoc, Others Way style. But wait, there's more! Joining this extraordinary entourage is public transport mensch and songwriter supremo Anthonie Tonnon; the unmistakable dub sounds of Christoph El Truento; scorching rock'n'roll two piece Elliot & Vincent; rapper and international ballroom icon Jamaica Moana; US indie folk favourite Shannon Lay; the return from our dear friends The Bats on the eve of their new album; and a very special duo performance from Tiny Ruins. You want more? We got more! Dreamy folk crooner Arahi; bass boss Babetech; captivating club legend BBYFACEKILLA; Aussie rockers C.O.F.F.I.N; psych rock newcomers Crying Ivy; te reo Māori injected electronica from Geneva AM; neo-soul sensation Hina; folk heroine Holly Arrowsmith; emerging pop fave Isla Noon; FILTH AKL favourite & super selector Kaiviti; the new wave of riot grrls Lipstick Cherry; the rap scientist Mazbou Q; rising hip-hop champion RNZŌ; stonking soulstress Romi Wrights; Australian soul adjacent DJ producer Sampology; reo rua (bilingual) rapper Swizl Jager; and dreamy sibling trio Womb. And that's just the first line-up. There's a whole lot more to come. We're shutting down the street, and throwing K Road the biggest party you've ever seen, with the wildest line-up in the festival's history. You don't wanna miss it.
