New Zealand’s favourite sons The Checks are celebrating the recent release of their new album Deadly Summer Sway with a very special Sydney show next month.
The album was recorded at Neil Finn’s Roundhead Studios with the help of Grammy award winning producer Bassy Bob Brockman (TLC, The Fugees, Mary J Blige). It features The Checks’ new single “Candyman Shimmer,” which shows off a much more chilled side of the band than I’ve heard before. I wouldn’t call it sleepy, but this cruisy tune is perfect for a lazy summer day. If you like it you can grab a free download from The Checks website.
The Checks will play an intimate set at Goodgod Small Club on December 15. They’re in fine form at the moment, having just wrapped up a 13-date tour of their homeland. I know we’re all strapped for cash with the holidays approaching, but the tickets cost just $8 pre-ordered and $10 at the door.
