about
The Harbour Union was a New Zealand band formed in Lyttelton by members of Port Lyttelton's music scene that featured The Eastern, The Unfaithful Ways, The Tiny Lies, Delaney Davidson, Al Park, Lindon Puffin and Runaround Sue. The motley band of Lyttelton musicians who gathered under the moniker “The Harbour Union” recorded thirteen new or reimagined songs with all proceeds from album sales going towards community organisations and individuals in Lyttelton needing assistance following the 2011 earthquake. FEATURING THE EASTERN- The Eastern are string band that roars like a punk band, that swings like a gospel band, that drinks like a country band, that works like a bar band, that hopes like folk singers, and sings love songs like union songs, and writes union songs like love songs, and wants to slow dance and stand on tables, all at the same time. Continually described as NZ’s hardest workin’ band they’ve spent the last few years playing over 200 nights a year up and down nz and beyond. They’ve toured with and opened for Fleetwood Mac, Steve Earle, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Jay hawks, Jimmy Barnes amongst others but are just as happy on a street corner or in a backyard singin and kickin’ their heels. Happiest on tour and with two well selling records and three e.p.’s to their credit they show no signs of quittin’ or tagging out. With their second record ‘Arrows’ out in Australia in may the eastern have been glad to be muckin in at home and having a chance to take part
