TEA CUPS (BalconyTV)

Auckland// Thursday, March 18, 2010 PRESENTED BY SIR-VERE BROUGHT TO YOU IN ASSOCIATION WITH notourfuture.co.nz

Teacups are a 3 piece folk pop trio, the three charming young women of Teacups considered calling their first release 'The Sexy Night-Time Show' but in a change of heart, altered it to 'Forest Fiction'. In retrospect 'Forest Fiction' may be a more appropriate title, but you should listen to the album and decide for yourself *needlessly saucy wink*, produced by soon to be super producer Dave Parker (Artisan Guns, Bear Cat, Clap Clap Riot). Teacups have found themselves opening for Jose Gonzalez, Cat Power and Kimya Dawson, while also finding time to play with local friendlies Lawrence Arabia, Artisan Guns, Bear Cat and the like.

They're a modern-day girl group, echoing the swooning charm of yesteryear the Teacups' songs walk your pleasure bicycle through daydreams, around lakes, under quilt forts near fireplaces, and into starscapes to sip flasks of sweet tea on an autumn day, en route to hearts broken and mended all the same.
