"Any Kiwis?" an excited fan called out to the seated audience behind her at the Brisbane Powerhouse (15 February).
First off, the band were (after a month of being on tour) better-rehearsed, tighter, and just visibly more comfortable at this small, but wonderful-sounding and cosy South Williamsburg bar/club, than at the more upscale, dinner theater style seated venue City Winery.
To paraphrase a Chills tune, oh how ‘the grains fall through the hourglass”. That old hourglass was put into overdrive last night at The Powerstation as The Chills and The Bats performed together for the first time in over 30 years playing songs that spanned four decades.
Longstanding New Zealand indie band The Chills returned last year with new album Snow Bound via Fire Records and have returned stateside for a tour in support of it, their first proper full tour in some time.
