City Oh Sigh
    City Oh Sigh to unwrap new music for Paekakariki show


    The whimsical and mysterious sound of Wellington band City Oh Sigh comes to
    Paekakariki in July for one show only at St Peter’s Hall (8pm Saturday 21 July
    2012).

    Although a relative newcomer to the Wellington music scene, City Oh Sigh already has
    a debut EP Like a Light and played a number of successful shows, including as support
    for The Books and Mirah.
    But the band members are far from musical newbies. This winsome Wellington indie
    threesome features players from the Sisters of St Rupertsberg, the now defunct,
    sprawling, super group that wowed Wellington audiences 2011 while earning a large
    and loyal following.

    Since then, the members of City Oh Sigh say they have been hiding away and
    rehearsing. With new songs and a rekindled desire to play live, they are preparing to
    burst out of their secret practice space and their Paekakariki show will be the band’s
    first concert for several months.

    City Oh Sigh is a quartet of classically-trained musicians who combine unique
    instrumentation with elements of folk and minimalist pop to create a sound that is
    difficult to categorise, yet warmly familiar.

    The group’s lead singer/songwriter/cellist, Kate Uhe, started writing her own songs after
    stints playing with bands (Ladybird, Blackbelles, Shiver Like Timber, Planet Earth) in
    New Zealand, Australia, America and Europe.

    On returning to New Zealand, Kate teamed up with her old friends, Sarah Smyth
    (vintage Rhodes piano) and Catherine Henehan (guitar, vocals and trumpet), and
    started writing songs about love and loss, friendship and loneliness.

    Here’s what the reviewers have said about City Oh Sigh’s debut EP, Like A Light:

    “This is fragile folk-pop for delicate souls, and primarily, one imagines, for girls, though
    my masculinity nonetheless feels undiminished as I whistle along to the weightless
    arpeggios of opening track Blow My Mind." (Sunday Star Times)

    "City Oh Sigh’s debut EP is excellent. Simple but evocative melodies, an expert use of
    the cello and rhodes in particular, and gorgeous harmonies all make this a particularly
    enjoyable listen.” (Under The Radar)

    “Captured within these songs is a wonderful combination and juxtaposition between
    nobility, wisdom and innocence.” (Cheese On Toast)

    "Like A Light is a masterful debut. For lovers of folk/pop music, this is an essential

    release." (Fishhead magazine)
