Princess Chelsea previews new tracks live at Neck Of The Woods on April 16

Princess Chelsea is the musical project of Chelsea Nikkel (she/her), a musician and songwriter based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Princess Chelsea’s cinematic pop has always worn its influence on its sleeve. She takes warm melodies found in songs from 60s girl groups like the Shangri-Las and brews it with elements of noise, grunge, and doom. It creates an atmosphere that is singular to her output.

Following the release of her latest single Everything Is Going To Be Alright , Princess Chelsea has just announced that she will be performing in Tāmaki Makaurau on April 16th at Neck Of The Woods. Along with the back catalogue classics, Princess Chelsea will be previewing material from her much anticipated upcoming album. This performance will be her fans only chance to catch Princess Chelsea before she embarks on a extensive tour throughout the UK and Europe. Fans are encouraged to get their tickets as soon as possible. We anticipate this show will sell out quickly!

It’s fair to say that Princess Chelsea’s live performance is a remarkably different experience to her recorded output (expect to be surprised) and is performed by a six piece band including Joshua-Worthington Church, David Harris (Sulfate), Jasmine Balmer (Being.), Simeon Kavangh-Vincent (Lucky Boy^, Phoebe Rings) and Joe Kaptein (Muroki). Chelsea describes the live band as “killer” and those that managed to catch a rare live performance at Chabs and Milky Going Live! in 2021 seem to agree.

Joining Princess Chelsea will be Bub, the new project of Priya Sami (The Sami Sisters, Trip Pony, Dateline), whose singles King Of Wands and Jeez Louise have been on high rotate on the Aotearoa’s Student Radio Network.

Neck of The Woods will be brought to life with visuals provided by Mindfulness For Machines , the generative art practice of Marcel Bellvé (Crap Date). You’ll be able to hear the full spectrum of frequencies thanks to the hand-built Ghost Sound System PA too! Tickets will be limited, and vaccine passes will be mandatory.
