NEWS: The Fall Return to NZ for One Show

Seminal English post-punk band The Fall are to return to Auckland – 28 years after playing the shows which Flying Nun released as the peerless live album, Fall In A Hole.

There has been number of live albums since Fall In A Hole, but only one opportunity to bear witness to The Fall’s unforgettable live experience in New Zealand, a good 20 years ago. But now Mark E. Smith and The Fall are to set it all straight, and are bring themselves to the Powerstation on December 13.

This year, their 34th year of existence saw Your Future Our Clutter – their 28th studio album – issued to acclaim, astonishment, and admiration.

Mark E. Smith has reshuffled the line-up of The Fall countless times over the years, and as a result, The Fall have remained "fresh, vital and energized". Legendary UK DJ John Peel memorably summed up The Fall with the phrase, “Always different, always the same”. The Fall recorded 24 Peel Sessions between 1978 and 2004. Additionally, Smith has lent his vocal approach to many other artists over the years, including Coldcut, Mouse On Mars, Edwyn Collins, and most recently, Gorillaz on their album Plastic Beach.

The Fall return to New Zealand for the first time in 20 years, this December at the Powerstation.
