Bilders - Empathetic Dustbin Tour

Entry
$15 presales, $20 door ($10 unwaged)
Body

Bilders are led by poet-songwriter and novelist Bill Direen. Magnet Magazine described Direen 'standing with Chris Knox in the vanguard of the country's non-conformist rock pantheon'. Graham Reid called Dustbin of Empathy 'gently beautiful, left-field pop songs - another excellent, entrancing and slightly chilling Direen album'.

Don't miss this rare chance to catch Bilders on their 2025 New Zealand tour. The band will visit old haunts, as they renew friendships and celebrate the new album. Expect tunes from Neverlasting and acclaimed Dustbin of Empathy albums. Supported by surprise guests who will drop in to join in classic Bilders songs.

A small booklet (GY15-1) called 'Apropos', with lots of never-before seen photos and short writings by Bill about music will be on sale at the gigs as long as stocks last.
