Andrew Keoghan announces NZ Tour dates
Our favourite Los Angeles-based new romantic, Andrew Keoghan returns to New Zealand for three shows in the homeland. Accompanied by his band, Keoghan announces these dates alongside 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.

Keoghan will be joined on tour by drummer Alistair Deverick (Neil Finn, Lawrence Arabia) and bassist Cass Basil (Tiny Ruins).

Every Orchid Offering is a series of personal vignettes about transience, sexuality, conceived gender roles, commitment, lust and modern reincarnation, combining a pop sensibility with contemporary R&B, electronic and orchestral elements.
Released in 2016, the album features duets with Hollie Fullbrook (Tiny Ruins) and Chelsea Nikkel (Princess Chelsea), along with contributions from some of Keoghan’s other cohorts from The Ruby Suns, The Phoenix Foundation and Lawrence Arabia.
