Augie March - Final Tour For A Long, Long Time

The Forum show will be a special opportunity for fans and band to say thanks for the memes and experience many of the great songs from Augie's rich four-album canon in full 9-piece band glory. In other words, it's the last chance to see and hear Augie March live for years and years; something the purists and the tourists won't want to miss.
Earlier this year Augie March singer songwriter Glenn Richards flew across the Tasman to write and record a song for Neil Finn's all-star collaboration The Sun Came Out.

The Sun Came Out is the follow up recording to the hugely successful, 7 Worlds Collide project. Glenn joined the likes of 7 Worlds Collide artists, The Smiths' Johnny Marr, Radiohead's Phil Selway and Ed O�??Brien, new additions Wilco and many more, for the double disc release.

"Though time permitted only a brief stay in Auckland I managed to see a dream concert, write and record a song in the space of a day with some fine musicians and writers, as well as be privy to some extraordinary collaborative moments between some of the most deservedly lauded artists working today. Not a bad weekend across the soup really." - Glenn Richards

Glenn's song "Duxton Blues" features a wild guitar solo by former Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr as well as drums by Liam Finn, bass by Sebastian Steinberg and backing vocals from Neil Finn and Bic Runga. Proceeds from the album will benefit Oxfam.
