Summer Thieves On Tour 
Ria Hall w/ the NZSO
2022 APRA Silver Scroll Finalists Announced

After one of their biggest summers yet, Aotearoa-based indie/rock/pop outfit Summer Thieves are set to hit the road this September for a massive spring tour across the country. This run of shows will be the band’s first NZ tour in over two years, and will see them performing tracks from their upcoming new album for the first time.

Starting in Northland’s Whangārei, the tour will see the band bringing the party and electric live set across all the major regions in the North & South Island before finishing up in Queenstown. 

Looking to strike while the iron is hot, late-2022 will see the release of their next album, written and recorded over the past 12 months across NZ. This tour will be the first chance for fans to catch this new material before it is released.

The Top 20 finalists for the 2022 APRA Silver Scroll Award | Kaitito Kaiaka and the Top 5 finalists for the 2022 APRA Maioha Award have just been announced and we're fizzing to see this list of Loop legends featured on the longlist. 

Anna Coddington is among the list of finalists for the Apra Silver Scroll for her track Aho/Beams featuring Louis Baker, taken from her 2021 EP Mana-wā-hine, a collection of waiata written performed in Te Reo Māori.

Alongside Coddington we have Te Reo Māori psychedelic jam He Ōrite performed by Troy Kingi & The Nudge. This debut single is the first taste from the 2020 Taite Music Prize winner Kingi (Te Arawa / Ngāpuhi) combining with the Wellington-based psych-rock trio.

We also have Ria Hall nominated for the APRA Maioha Award for her track Rangatira, taken from the Te Reo Māori compilation EP Kono 003 released in September last year. 

Ka rawe! If you are an APRA member, be sure to vote now HERE!

Ria Hall is hitting the regions this November for a two date performance of her album 'Rules of Engagement' backed by the New Zealaned Symphony Orchestra in Tauranga and Napier. These reimagined performances will see Hall and the NZSO combine for the first time to perform the 2017 album from start to finish for two truly special evenings.
