UK songwriter coming to NZ

Ok - I'm new to the board so ...hi all.
I'm a singer/songwriter from the UK who's coming to NZ in September - not decided exactly where yet, but there's a good chance it'll be Wellington.
I've been slogging away over here for a few years now & my band - The Evernauts - have just managed to sort out a publishing deal with a London-based publisher for our new album. And this despite not having the right kind of haircuts/ currently fashionable sound/well-connected friends in the biz or anything.
We play what would be best described as Wilco meets Neil Finn kinda Guided By Voices sort of stuff & have long been big fans of NZ music ( we supported the Mutton Birds on their last UK tour:))
So, despite things looking slightly rosier for us here in Blighty - I've decided that now's the time to bugger off to NZ & spoil it all.
Well - you got to try these things...
I guess what I'm posting here for is to see if any like-minded musicians would be into giving me a helping hand - I'm planning on gigging as much as possible ( I know this is gonna involve the usual banging out covers in bars, but that's ok for now) so any useful contacts would be great.
Like I said, I'm more than likely going to be in Wellington, so if any Wellington musicians are out there - do get in touch!
I'd also be up for maybe getting some sort of original project off the ground - if you want to have a quick listen to some demos then go to http://www.truthisacoustic.com/promotion.html & scroll down to the mp3s.
Cheers guys.

Dave.

Welcome

Aw ...fuck it.

Thanks Aka ...:)

Good luck in NZ, dude.

No relation to Kevin Keegan? Go Man City! Good luck if you come over here.

Just listenened to "do that again" nice stuff man, sounds similar to dream factory and neil finn and a touch of the eagles :) The music scene is quite varied but a local band that has down well here this year "Goldenhorse" is in a similar genre to yours check them out if you can.
