Bond Street Bridge is the solo project of New Zealander Sam Prebble, who has become a fixture of the Auckland indie folk scene over the past few years, playing mandolin, fiddle and guitar in a wide range of up-and-coming bands. He has been playing various instruments for as long as he can remember, and one of his favorite hobbies is learning to play more of them.
The live set is a solo show in which Sam uses loop pedals and tape echoes to build up layers of guitar, violin, beats and vocals to produce a hypnotic, compelling and original sound. Audiences are drawn in to the strange world Bond
Bond Street Bridge
Bond Street Bridge is the creation of Auckland-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Sam Prebble. Sam has been playing music for as long as he can remember, and ‘probably before that as well,’ as he puts it. Bond Street Bridge is currently a solo project, but Sam has always played in bands, orchestras and choirs. For the past few years he has been playing in the Broken Heartbreakers and Reb Fountain’s Bandits, and has recently guested on releases by White Swan Black Swan, Dylan Storey and Andy Gibson, playing fiddle and writing string arrangements. Sam’s experience in bands and orchestras has developed the strong sense for arrangement and orchestration he brings to his debut album, ‘The Mapmaker’s Art.’ Listening to the lush soundscapes and cunningly interleaved parts on this record, it is hard to believe that it was recorded on a laptop with one microphone, in a falling-down villa next to a motorway.

Monkey Records is pleased to announce the release of a summery little gem from Auckland artist Bond Street Bridge. The new song 'Birds' is the first single from Bond Street Bridge's forthcoming sophomore album, due for release in early 2010 following on from the critically acclaimed The Mapmaker's Art released last year.
In this catchy wee number, Bond Street Bridge, aka Sam Prebble, reflects on the mating habits of New Zealand's paradise shelduck, Tadorna variegata. These striking brown-and-white ducks generally mate for life, and pairs are a common sight in open country in New Zealand.
Prebble says 'I spend a lot of time driving around the country for shows and whatnot, and anthropomorphising the wildlife is a good way to pass the time. I have to concede that the birds in this song are probably not really in love, but based on the way
