			==9 February 2014==

			Grab your tickets soon for a great seat, you don't want to miss the extraordinary show that is BREL.



			==8 December - Adults at Jim Beam Homegrown 2014==

			Long time no update, and it's about time we added Jim Beam Homegrown to the list of places where you can catch The Adults play in 2014. Reportedly the lineup sees the omnipresent Ladi6 on vocals, Aaron Tokona (WETA, Cairo Knife Fight, Ahoribuzz) will once again be gracing the stage like he owns it (because he owns it), along with the dual lifebloods of the group, Jon Toogood and drumming aficionado Steve Bremner.

			Deets at the ''[http://www.homegrown.net.nz Homegrown website]'' and tickets from ''[http://www.dashtickets.co.nz/event/hznp7fvkc Dash Tickets]''.


			Finally, tickets for The Adults meet the APO are now on sale and precede the original on-sale dates originally listed.
			''Tickets available from [http://www.ticketmaster.co.nz/event/24004B41B4481B5D Ticketmaster].''


			They sound like good holiday presents for friends and family, if you're into all that festive shenanigans! Though we believe any time is a great time for giving, regardless of what your calendar says. Stay safe, stay sun smart, and let the music take you away. Thank you for supporting The Adults (the actual band), as well as us humble web geek humanoids here at The Adults Wiki, and we'll see you in 2014!

			==29 September - Adults and Orchestras in 2014==

			Summer just got classier as Adults and Orchestras team up again in Auckland on January 30, 2014.
			The Adults previously played with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra in 2012 and late last year, the concert was included as a second bonus disc with The Adults' album.
			Hamish McKeich is once again conducting the orchestra, and Anika Moa and Ladi6 will also be joining the ensemble.


			Public tickets go on sale <s>January 20 2014</s> right now.

			==30 August - Adults to play at TechEd/Techfest Auckland in Sept ==

			TechEd attendees will be in for a treat as The Adults and The Phoenix Foundation close Techfest in Auckland on September 12. TechEd is an annual Microsoft/IT conference so if you're not already going, one of the seven tickets left will cost you a minimal $2185.
			(A brief mention of search methodology for a certain Prime Minister, his 60 lapdogs and the GCSB: this information was spotted on Twitter, and confirmed through Facebook. All information displayed on this site is gained through already public sources.)


			Apologies for this post not going up earlier - a site administrator got a two-for-one deal on illnesses (if you're interested, please consult any local public infection zone) and has been out of service for the last week.

			==21 August - 'Brel' heading to Tauranga ==
			Tauranga is the latest place to be graced with the 'Brel' tour circuit. If you somehow still need convincing that the show is worth it, the National Business Review sums up the show in this review from last year's run: [http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/brel-songs-life-love-and-loss-132080 Brel: Songs of life, love and loss.] Head along, and don't forget to shout 'merci!'.

			* ''TV3 Crystal Palace, Tauranga, October 26 & 27. Details at [http://www.taurangafestival.co.nz/event/The-Words-and-Music-of-Jacques-Brel?i=46 The Tauranga Arts Festival website.]''



			==11 August - 'Brel' comes to Nelson; Nelson Opera In The Park; The Big Band Build in AKL ==

			* Nelson has been added to the 'Brel' tour schedule, as the cast take the show to the Nelson Arts Festival on October 19 and 20. ''Theatre Royale, Nelson, October 19 & 20. Details at [http://www.nelsonartsfestival.co.nz/programme/cabaret/the-words-and-music-of-jaques-brel/ The Nelson Arts Festival website.]''

			Furthermore, it looks as if both upcoming Brel performances in Christchurch have completely sold out, judging by the information on ticketing site [http://www.dashtickets.co.nz/tour/427 Dash Tickets]. If you're interested in attending these shows, it would be wise to phone ahead and ask.


			* On October 24, Ms. Julia Deans will be showing patrons what it means to take The Hard Road, alongside Annie Crummer and 'Brel' co-star Tama Waipara.
			''TSB Bank Main stage, Nelson, October 24. Details also on [http://www.nelsonartsfestival.co.nz/programme/page-1/the-hard-road/ The Nelson Arts Festival website.]''


			*Finally, from ''October 10-16'', The Auckland Big Band Build will bring together 3 Adults collaborators (Anika, Hollie & Jon), Shihad (acoustic set, anyone?!) & many NZ musos - all helping to build a house for the Habitat for Humanity charity. Read more at the [http://www.bigbandbuild.co.nz/ Big Band Build 2013 website] and the NZ Herald article [http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10910593 here.] An amazing event of goodwill and generosity of spirit - talk about warm fuzzies to end your Sunday evening!



			==15 July - What's next? ==

			The tour's done and dusted, so what's next for The Adults members?

			*Julia & Jon will be performing in the widely-acclaimed and unmissable 'Brel' in New Plymouth and Christchurch:
			''New Plymouth from Aug 27-29. Details at [http://www.taft.co.nz/artsfest/mayfair-club/Brel.html the Taranaki International Arts Festival website.]

			''Christchurch on August 31 (SOLD OUT) and September 1. Details at [http://www.artsfestival.co.nz/brel The Arts Festival website.]


			*We will update the site with any news of Shayne Carter's album as it emerges through the press.

			*Jon explains a little more about what's in store for The Adults and Shihad here in this NZOWN interview on Juice TV: The new Adults album will not be happening until next year, contrary to media reports. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfzxmbZvFdI Click here to watch it] - the video will be embedded on this site once a few technical issues are fixed.

			*The Adults online merch store has moved to Bandcamp - check out the new merch store [http://theadultsnz.bandcamp.com/merch here].

			*Feeling the cold? Music Monday will cure what ails you. This clip of [[Nothing To Lose (song) \| Nothing To Lose]] was filmed by Youtube user 'ratpony' at The San Francisco Bath House in Wellington on the recent tour. You can watch it on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaDBKCYbFsc Youtube here.] Live it, breathe it. Chambray it.

			==31 May - Good things come in threes (and fours, fives and sixes) ==

			They say good things come in threes - this time is no exception! Good thing the first: Last week The Adults announced a new (free) unreleased song, Never Be Mine, featuring Hollie Smith, Pip Brown, Liam Finn & Jon Toogood. You can download it from [https://soundcloud.com/jontoogood/never-be-mine Soundcloud here.]


			Good thing the second: New tour dates have been announced, featuring the great Aaron Tokona of Cairo Knife Fight, AHoriBuzz & formerly of Weta fame. Aaron takes Shayne Carter's place as Shayne finishes up his new album. All tickets are $35 each.

			Good thing the fourth: Julia Deans has recently joined Twitter (we refuse to include a pun involving the words 'songbird' and tweeting, but if we did include it, it would be here. Use your imagination!). You can follow Ms. Deans' tweets [https://twitter.com/julia_m_deans here.]


			Late addition: Good thing the fifth - check out The Adults' [http://www.audioculture.co.nz/people/the-adults profile on Audioculture.co.nz]. It features a biography, photos, videos and more.


			Edit 4/6: Mon dieu! The news keeps pouring in. Good thing the sixth - Julia, Jon, Tama Waipara and Jennifer Ward-Lealand are taking last year's 'magnifique' stage production 'Brel' to New Plymouth at the end of August as part of the Taranaki International Arts Festival. Details [http://www.taft.co.nz/artsfest/mayfair-club/Brel.html here]. If Toogood happens to stumble across this, the language challenge still stands. Ce n'est pas trop difficile, non. Ha!


			Get amongst it!

			==21 March 2013- Upcoming shows by various Adults members ==

			There are plenty of NZ shows from Adults members coming up, there are just some of the ones we've spotted:

			Also, this website is in dire need of a makeover so if you're a wiki whiz, please let us know on our [http://www.facebook.com/theadultswiki Facebook page] and we can sort out some kind of compensation deal.


			Finally, YouTube user Pam Templeton filmed [[Short Change (song) \| Short Change]] at Villa Maria Winery a few weeks ago, so thanks to her for capturing the show and The Adults' deeply hypnotic rhythms. Watch it below.
