Collapsing Cities - Live at the Kings Arms

Kiwi alternative rock band Collapsing Cities will play a homecoming gig at the Kings Arms with support from two of Auckland’s hottest acts: the Naked & Famous and Body Corporate.

The Kings Arms was the scene of a frenzied Collapsing Cities farewell show in Auckland back in April, packed to the rafters with fans braying the hits from the group’s 'Elixir Always' album.

Collapsing Cities headed to the UK, where in six months they have chalked up almost fifty shows including festival appearances at Reading, Leeds, the Great Escape in Brighton and Lovebox Weekender in London. They also played UK tours with Black Kids, Late Of The Pier and Metronomy.

NME have led the press in reporting the band. Their first live review concentrated on the dark humour of the band’s songs, noting “Flight of the Conchords-style dry wit” in their songs.

By the time of their Reading and Leeds festival appearances, NME was profiling Collapsing Cities as one of their “10 Hopes of the Near Future”.
