Princess Chelsea and band are back from touring Europe and Korea and are getting set to tour new album The Loneliest Girl across New Zealand.
The album was recorded in 2016 and 2017 in Princess Chelsea's West Auckland home studio with production assistance from Jonathan Bree. It is said to examine "the loneliness and ultimately the artistic satisfaction a strong work ethic can bring".
Shows will include Auckland on October 26, Leigh October 27, Wellington November 10 and Christchurch November 17.
The Loneliest Girl will be released on September 7.
The release of Rhian Sheehan's first album in more than five years, A Quiet Divide, will be marked with a series of shows described as spectacles of sound and light.
Sheehan will lead eight musicians and a live string section to accompany a dream-like montage of live visuals.
The first performance will take place during the Arts Festival in Dunedin on September 29, followed by Wellington on October 12 and Auckland on October 26. Tickets from loop.co.nz.
