Lindon Puffin 9th Feb 08

Lindon Puffin ended his New Zealand Tour with a brilliant, hilarious, entertaining and very kiwi show at the Rangiora Regent Theatre on the 9th of Feb. On his return to his schoolboy town, he had the audience eating out of his hand and roaring with laughter as he filled the show with anecdotes of his experiences on tour and life in general. Nothing was sacred - hot chicks, Motueka bogans, ferry crossings and titties. I have never seen a musician so relaxed and open and entertaining between songs.

His music can best be described as 'rockabilly' with great hooks and chops in the mould of Billy Bragg, Elvis Costello and a modern day Buddy Holly. He peppered his show with covers of Elton John, Johhny Cash, John Prime & Neil Young. Lindon's multi-instrumentalism was shown with him alternating between guitar, ukelele, piano, kazoo, harmonica and drums. In one set that blew my mind, he played drums, guitar, harmonica, kazoo and sang - all at the same time! Go buy his current album - "Show Pony" and lounge back and let something wonderful and unique fill your conciousness, and support a guy that is living the life, and keeping it real.

If you ever get the opportunity to see Lindon Puffin live - go for it, before he is too big for you to enjoy the witty repartee, the open banter and warm intimacy in a natural, laid-back kiwi setting.
