Strange News Touring & Banished Music proudly present an intimate one-off show for UK indie darlings bar italia, playing Sunday, 2 June at Karangahape Road’s underground haunt Neck of the Woods.
The London based three-piece of Nina Cristante, Jezmi Tarik Fehmi and Sam Fenton are finally set to bring their inimitable and intriguing sound to Aotearoa, plucking tunes from their Dean Blunt-released early work to the two full length 2023 releases The Twits and Tracey Denim (Matador).
bar italia’s economical yet evocative song craft takes raucous, mystic, unkempt, occasionally sinister, and wholly committed turns. Songs like ‘my little tony’, with its in-the-red riff and excitable hooks, the cathartic four-on-the-floor of ‘world’s greatest emoter‘ and the festival tent psychedelia of ‘Hi-fiver’ need little in the way of exposition – these are exhilarating rock songs, if wayward and strange…
“…breathlessly feted as London’s most exciting new band” – The Guardian
“…swaggering and devastatingly cool” – NME
