Whanganui Musicians Club is welcoming back Wellington band Lawnmaster.
The band is promoting their just-released fourth album. In their words, "Curable Romantic is a 12-track slab of guitar-driven power pop, stylishly outdated and chock-full of wry observations aimed at the thinking doom scroller".
Music journalist Gary Steel describes the album
as "self-deprecating, funny and deeply humanistic, this Wellington band's latest deserves a hearing. They exist in a parallel universe where mainstream rock isn't dumbed down and can still express itself with pithy and explicit lyrics that sometimes actually say something about the human condition".
The band's songwriter, Ken Double, says Lawnmaster's fourth album continues in the same vein as the previous three.
"Only we're trying harder we promise. You can check it out on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, You and all the other Tubes. We'll bring some CDs with us because they're apparently on the way back, vinyl being more expensive than 95 unleaded these days."
