UK Rock'n'Rollers Wunderhorse Perform Debut New Zealand Tour

Scoop13 hours ago
UK rockers Wunderhorse have locked in a string of headline shows across Australia and New Zealand this September - kicking off in Aotearoa at The Powerstation in Auckland, followed by Meow Nui in Wellington before hopping across the ditch.
Wunderhorse's 2024 album Midas follows the band's acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and sets them up as one of British guitar music's most exciting outfits. Recorded at Minnesota's Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana's In Utero and PJ Harvey's Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey, the album reached #6 in the UK charts and preceded their biggest headline tour to date, as well as an arena tour support slot with Sam Fender in December.
Adopting an organic, unpolished recording process, Midas captures the visceral atmosphere of Wunderhorse's raucous live performances. "We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amp," frontman Jacob Slater told The Guardian. "No frills, no polish – just pure, uncut rock'n'roll."
Indeed, the album's rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity set Wunderhorse up for a year that will see them firmly established as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent.
About Wunderhorse: Wunderhorse (Jacob Slater, Harry Fowler, Peter Woodin and Jamie Staples) have seen their popularity snowball the old fashioned way; winning fans over through visceral live performances and Slater's vivid songwriting. Their 2022 debut album 'Cub' saw them graduate from raucous basements to show-stealing support tours with the likes of Fontaines D.C, Pixies, and Sam Fender, and a packed-out Glastonbury Woodsies tent – all in the space of a year. Their new single 'Midas' captures the raw power and energy that has set them apart as one of the most formidable live acts of recent years. Rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity set Wunderhorse up for a year that will see them firmly established as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent.

Obituary: Jean Marsh, actress

Jean Marsh in a publicity portrait for the British TV drama series, Upstairs, Downstairs, ITV, 1976. Jean Marsh and close friend and collaborator Dame Eileen Atkins created not one but two hit TV series, Upstairs Downstairs and The House Of Eliott. While different in subject matter — the former focused on the servants quarters of an Edwardian home while the latter told the tale of sisters who established a fashion house in the 1920s, each shared female starring roles, great scripts and exceptional acting. Marsh was born in London but raised in Stoke Newington. She left school at 15 to train as a dancer, before building a career in repertory theatre as an actress. Her big break came in 1959 when she appeared on Broadway with John Gielgud in his production of Much Ado About Nothing. That same year she moved into television and during the 1960s appeared in such shows as The Saint and Doctor Who. Marsh had a long association with Doctor Who: as well as being married to the third Doctor, Jon Pertwee, for five years, Marsh played Joan of England in The Crusade; Sara Kingdom, a companion of the First Doctor; and was a villain opposite the Seventh Doctor. Upstairs Downstairs first aired in 1971, and its five series earned two Bafta awards and Marsh won an Emmy for best actress. At its peak, viewership exceeded 18 million. The House of Eliott (1991-94), which the duo produced, proved equally as popular, rating highly and selling worldwide. In 2010 Marsh and Atkins remade Upstairs Downstairs, in which Marsh reprised her role as parlourmaid Rose Buck, but the show was overshadowed by another period blockbuster Downton Abbey. It was cancelled after its second season. Her film credits included Cleopatra (1963), The Eagle Has Landed, Return To Oz and Willow. Jean Marsh was made an OBE in 2012. She died on April 13 aged 90. — APL/agencies
