Tea For One
Perhaps I am flogging the dead horse a little when I say I was deeply disappointed to hear that the Tea Party are only visiting Auckland in their Transmission Tour, and your probably going to tell me to mission it up to Auckland like a devoted Tea Party fan would. I am not going to bring in the lame-ass Wellington / Auckland grudge thing into it, and I guess Auckland is a convenient one-stop venue for touring bands. However, loyalty to fans in my opinion, should surpass convenience, especially with big bands who have loads of money. I saw the Wellington gig of the
Splendour Solis Tour of 1994, and okay, maybe the turnout was not that memorable, but for the audience the performance was. The patrons were entranced by their superbly crafted Celtic ballads and their majestically powerful Zeppelinesque riffs, and I am sure that by word of mouth their
fan base has multiplied since then. Regardless of the remorse I may be feeling after reading the Powerstation gig review, I am looking forward to the new album’s release, and, hopefully some extensive coverage in next months issue of RipltUp. Regards, St. Peter, Wellington (via e-mail).
