Family Cactus is a great new band from Wellington, New Zealand.   Here’s the cover art for the band’s first CD, “Come Howling” on Arch Hill Records.   The band is in town for the CMJ Music Festival and recently played a private gig for industry and friends of LP Cover Lover.   Here’s their single “Kingmaker” (which is being used in a national Yellow Pages commercial here in the states) and here’s an article that ran today in the New Zealand Herald by New York correspondent Gemma Gracewood.

Behind the scenes – Family Cactus recorded the music video for “Kingmaker” in this grand old house tucked into one of the Thorndon terraces in Wellington. Built 1905 by John Sydney Swan, a Commodore of the  Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club and owner of one of the world’s largest collections of photographs of ships. Currently listed on the NZ Historic Places Trust register.
