The Harbour Agency, Max & Street Press Australia presents the long awaited return of BIC RUNGA

Updated on April 30, 2012



Off the back of her recent Australian visit last week, Bic Runga returns with an east coast Australian tour kicking off May 1.

Bic and her band, including Mint Chicks Kody Nielson and Michael Logie, are set to play shows in the UK and Ireland before returning to Australia.

With her first two albums selling 11 times platinum each in her home country, top ten hits in Australia, Japan and Ireland and critical success in the UK, Bic Runga is one of the highest selling artists in New Zealand music history.

Her brand new album ‘Belle’ was produced by Kody Nielson and mixed by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend), Tom Rothrock (Beck, James Blunt, Foo Fighters) and was released March 16 through Sony Music Australia.

Since her first single ‘Drive’ in 1996, a massive hit when she was just twenty. Bic has been awarded almost every musical honour in New Zealand, including the APRA Silver Scroll Song writing Award, a collection of Tui’s and multi-platinum discs. Her debut album ‘Drive’ (1997) went platinum eleven times in New Zealand and went gold in Australia; ‘Beautiful Collision’ followed in 2002 (eleven times platinum) and ‘Birds’ in 2005 (triple platinum). She has shared stages with Neil and Tim Finn, Dave Dobbyn, members of Radiohead and Wilco. Her songs have featured in hit film soundtracks (American Pie), her records have been released around the world, and she has won followings in Europe, Asia and North America. In January 2006, HM Queen Elizabeth II made Runga a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the New Zealand New Year's Honours List.
