About flip grater

“(Flip Grater) has a Hope Sandoval feel to her acousto-folk, but when she shades to something more angsty indie, she's got a little Cat Power in her” – Austin Cronicle

If you keep up with what’s new and interesting in New Zealand music, then you will have heard of Christchurch based, singer/songwriter Flip Grater.
This rising star performed at the prestigious SXSW festival last year and has shared the stage with artists such as The Veils, Ben Lee, The Shins, Anika Moa, The Phoenix Foundation and SJD.
Flip's song Long Awaited Sigh recently featured in the season final of hit US TV show Brothers and Sisters and Flip is now working on tracks for her sophomore LP release for 2008.

To celebrate the release of her debut album Cage For A Song, Flip took off on ‘The CookBook Tour’. This solo tour saw Flip traveling big and small town New Zealand in her Lada Station wagon, playing shows and collecting recipes for a cookbook/ tour stories book - OUT NOW is selected cafes nationwide, Real Groovy Stores and online at www.thecookbooktour.com.

Flip is heading off to Europe for the second edition of The Cookbook Tour this year. CHeck out the show list for EU dates. Tickets to the London show are on sale now www.ticketweb.co.uk

‘Cage For A Song’ and 'Be All And End All' are out now on Maiden Records.

BUY THE NEW ALBUM BE ALL AND END ALL:

Be All And End All

This is the latest album from Flip Grater, recorded at The Sitting Room in Christchurch during November and December 2007. Be All And End All is a brilliantly balanced album, with Flip's polished songwriting taking centre stage, as she moves from gentle, tender ballads to raucous indie-folk and back, via quirky pop and just a touch of alt-country. The album features a choir of 12 ñ including Anita Clarke (Ragamuffin Children) and Ben Edwards (Degrees K).

CD $25.95 NZD + P&H
Download MP3 $19.95 NZD

Cage For a Song

Cage for a Song, released on Flip Graters own label, Maiden Records, was recorded over a six month period in and around Christchurch and Diamond Harbour in the south island of New Zealand and released in August 2006.

$25.95 NZD Plus P&H Download MP3 NZ $16.95

The Cookbook Tour

In 2006 Flip Grator went on an epic tour of New Zealand to promote her debut album Cage For A Song. Travelling the length and breadth of the country in her trusty 1988 Lada station wagon, she sang for her supper in small towns and big cities, blagging accommodation, food and most importantly recipes along the way. With a cast of unusual characters, this book is the ultimate cookbook/tour diary, and a snapshot of Kiwi subculture punctuated by 47 delicious recipes.

$29.95 NZD + P&H
