It’s been a tough time for the remaining members of the much-loved Warratahs after the death of drummer Michael Knapp last July, but it’s not going to stop them doing what they do best.
Former The Chills and The Verlaines drummer Caroline Easther is joining the group for the upcoming pair of shows in the Wellington region.
Warratahs frontman Barry Saunders said that, in a sense, Knapp will always be with them, and he would have wanted the band to keep the music going.
“Michael’s still with us in a lot of ways. He’s a big part of the spirit of the band.
Another interesting dynamic that comes with having Easther in the line-up is the addition of her vocals alongside Saunders’ instantly recognisable voice.

The band recently recorded Silver Train and Going Up North, both of which have accompanying videos. Read More…
