Arch Hill 15th Anniversary

Celebrating a local community.

Overview

Arch Hill Studios was founded in 1998 and is really part of a duopoly co-created with Flying Nun. Both Labels fostered a bizarrely common type of New Zealand music. With artists swaying back and forth between these labels, they gave Auckland a strong local alternative rock scene. Arch Hill has always been the smaller of the two, which seems to make it more admirable.

As kiwis we always root for the underdog, so why stop now. ‘Beck’s Sets’, is sponsoring their 15th anniversary show at the King’s Arms on the 30th, featuring; Don McGlashin/ Ghost Wave/ Street Chant, Transistors Surf City/ Doprah and Special Guests. That’s right, the guests are special and it would be a great show to catch.

A lot of history and camaraderie is threaded within the lyrics of these musicians and it would be rude not to listen.
