Saurian

Saurian, the octopedal rock unit from Dunedin are set to release their engaging new single, 'Down at the Crown' on May 3. This is the second song to be released from their upcoming EP. It’s a tune celebrating the legendary venue, the Crown Hotel which has been the cornerstone of the Dunedin music scene for decades. The song also aims to highlight the fears that residential development in Dunedin's CBD threatens our beloved music venue. To celebrate the release of 'Down at the Crown' and spread the word of this great venue, Saurian is going on tour starting in Dunedin on May 4 at the Crown Hotel itself! The Dunedin show at the Crown Hotel will additionally serve as a tour fundraiser. Tickets $10 at Eventfinda or $15 on the door. Of course Saurian can't celebrate alone! We've got Bunchy's Big Score and Before the Snooze performing too for an excellent night of music down at the Crown! Saurian opted for something special for the artwork for ‘Down at the Crown’ and involved Austin Milne who had created an incredible comic strip about the Crown Hotel previously. The artwork features the iconic venue with its owner (and local legend in his own right), Jones Chin outside.
