Earwig Music Promotions is proud to present the new single from The Bobby Holidays ‘So Good’
The Bobby Holidays is an Auckland band primarily formed by Robert (Bobby) Werry to record original songs, and the result is some good, catchy indie NZ pop that has seen some great live performances and a very happy audience that continues to grow.
Their latest song, So Good, is The Bobbys paying homage to a legendary NZ Punk songwriter – Julian Hanson of The Spelling Mistakes. Julian, very sadly, was taken from us last year and this song is an expression of loss but also of a very strong happiness for what we were so lucky to have, what was. So Good.
The Bobby Holidays (TBH) is the passion project of Bobby Werry, begun years ago at the now sadly missed Kings Arms.
Over the past year and a half they have played a bit around central Auckland, described by the 13th Floor as “a great under-the–radar Rock’n’Roll outfit”.
TBH features Nick Atkinson and Finn Scholes and therefore has a fantastic brass sound, and to quote the 13th Floor “a broad repertoire of styles which is firmly rooted in the great Pub Rock scene of England in the Seventies…Ska, Latin, Soul, R’n’B, they generally rev up the good times to the level of a great Revue band. Think Graham Parker and Rumour.” But TBH are not just a live band – in fact, the band was only formed to record at Earwig (all analogue) Studio, with bassist Darren McShane who also engineers all the recording, and Gareth Scott on drums, both contributing backing vocals. The results are a great self-titled debut album, released a year ago, and now the second So Good from the as yet incomplete second album.
The sound has been described as nostalgic; an array of past NZ bands that most of us have grown up with, a sound that is… well, “user friendly”!
