LIAM FINN ANNOUNCES AUGUST TOUR

“Liam Finn + Eliza Jane, Lawrence Arabia and Connan Mockasin are having a baby”

Liam Finn says that his new EP, Champagne in Seashells, is a “document of a small moment in time.” He’s modestly referring to the busy two years since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, I’ll
Be Lightning, and the nearly uninterrupted schedule of touring that has taken him around the world multiple times.

Having played his own sold-out shows on every continent, opened for the The Black Keys and Eddie Vedder, and performed at the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, Liam is set to release a new EP world-wide this September.

Recorded in April at Roundhead studios in Auckland New Zealand on the same analogue equipment that captured I'll Be Lightning, Champagne in Seashells is bigger and bolder, revealing new lyrical complexities and pointing in daring new musical directions. It also marks the debut studio collaboration between Liam and live cohort Eliza-Jane. The self produced EP was mixed by legendary sonic wiz Tchad Blake (Tom Waits,
Gomez, Pearl Jam).

Lead single Long Way To Go encapsulates the magical dynamic of Liam and E-J's chaotic live show whilst tackling the anxieties of air travel, life on the road and homesickness. Ironically this EP will take Liam and
EJ back on the road, playing these new songs on their world tour but not before Liam heads back into the studio to record songs for an upcoming untitled project with fellow New Zealand artists Lawrence Arabia and Connan Mockasin. The guys will be writing and recording for a month and then head out on tour for what will be a very special four shows around the country. Dates are as follows -

Liam Finn + Eliza-Jane, Lawrence Arabia and Connan Mockasin are having a baby.

LIAM FINN + ELIZA JANE TO TOUR USA WITH WILCO PLUS NZ HEADLINE SHOWS IN AUGUST TO CELEBRATE EP RELEASE and NZ + AUSTRALIA DATES WITH PEARL JAM AND BEN HARPER IN NOVEMBER and FALLS FESTIVAL & SOUTHBOUND DATES!

Liam Finn and his perpetual musical muse Eliza Jane Barnes will be getting little rest before 2010 with a USA tour with Wilco just confirmed, Liam Finn headline shows in NZ in August, the release of their EP ‘Champagne in Seashells’ on August 24, the Australasian Pearl Jam tour (NZ + Aus) in November and then Falls Festival and Southbound Festival spots into the new year!

Liam and Eliza Jane will tour with Wilco for a ten show tour of the United States in October, beginning October 1 in Iowa City, IA.

After forming a friendship with Jeff Tweedy and John Stirratt during the recording of the 7 Worlds Collide project at Finn’s father’s studio in New Zealand early this year, Wilco has decided to bring the young kiwi on the road back in the United States during an October tour of the Midwest.

Finn picks up where he left off with his debut I’ll Be Lighting reinvigorating his studio-as- laboratory DIY ethos for Champagne in Seashells, again recording and producing the tracks himself.

Audiences will have plenty of opportunities to see Liam and Eliza Jane performing their new material, including 4 headline shows in August to coincide with the EP release, dates on the Pearl Jam tour in November and spots on the Falls Festival and Southbound Festival across the New Year.

“…his effervescent, swooning harmonies, and heavily layered my-studio-is-my-bunker production techniques are directly traceable to old Paul McCartney solo records.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“Liam never veers too far from a killer melody or winsome harmony, which he delivers with the fetching voice that would seem to be ingrained in the Finn DNA.” —LA TIMES

“he chops, blends, and twists his keyboards, guitars, electronics, and melodies into a shiny new beast that is both gentle and subtly feral.” —THE BOSTON GLOBE
