MATT COSTA with Neil Halstead & Zee Avi
Matt Costa, with Neil Halstead and Zee Avi will play two special shows this March -
one at Sydney’s Northern Beaches Mona Vale Hotel and Melbourne’s Northcote Social
Club.
MATT COSTA, on the strength of his debut release, the folky, beautiful Songs We Sing, earned
a reputation as an L.A. buzz act, crisscrossed the U.S. in a van, and performed at all the major
North American music festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Sasquatch, Bonnaroo, and
Austin City Limits among others. In 2007 Costa recorded the follow-up Unfamiliar Faces,
again on Brushfire Records. He is currently working on new material.
Next up is NEIL HALSTEAD. Based in the English coastal town of Newquay, Halstead is one of
Britain’s most respected songwriters. The singer and guitarist cut three albums fronting
Slowdive, before forming 4AD favourites Mojave 3 in ‘95. Halstead made his solo debut in
2002 with Sleeping On Roads and a follow-up on Brushfire in 2008, Oh! Mighty Engine.
ZEE AVI was born on the island of Borneo, later moving to Kuala Lumpur, Avi learnt to play
guitar at 17. Beginning to write and perform, she posted her songs on YouTube for a friend
to hear. The viral buzz around her postings eventually resulting in the release of her 2009
