Celine Release New Single ‘Thanks For Sharing’ and Announce Whammy Backroom Show
June 14th, 2024
Tāmaki Makaurau’s Celine today unleash their blistering new pop-punk song ‘Thanks for Sharing’, and have announced a show with Hail, Meteor! and Pumice on Saturday June 22nd at Whammy Backroom.
Celine blend outsider pop, noise-rock, and golden-era Flying Nun influences to colour their their sonic palette. Add melancholic vocals and big guitars, and you end up with a band who deliver both raw emotion and powerful melodies.
And yes, you read the headline correctly: at the June 22nd show, David Mitchell of The 3Ds joins Celine on guitar.
The full Celine lineup:
Rob Lundon – Guitar, vocals
David Mitchell – Guitar
Kirsten Smith – Bass
Marty Doo – Drums
‘Thanks for Sharing’ is the first single from their forthcoming record, and is recorded and produced by the legendary Dale Cotton (The Bats, HDU, The Subliminals, Bachelorette and many more).
Lyricist Rob Lundon says of the song, “Basically I was coming out of quite a full on decade or more of my life, and it’s the story of a girl I met, and that relationship. In some ways it was quite good, and in some ways quite bad: a train wreck meets a car wreck. There’s an element of humour obviously, and she did make me sell my guns which was possibly not such a bad thing…”
Most recently, Celine supported Mogwai at The Powerstation, and their latest (self-titled) EP is available now from Flying Out.
Following on from their debut 2022 EP The Last Days of Evolution, the Celine EP was mixed by New York-based engineer Andrew Schneider, and mastered by Bob Weston in Chicago.
