Rosy Tin Teacaddy are a folktronica duo from Wellington highly regarded for their on-stage symmetry and harmonic blend of voices. Formed in 2007, Rosy Tin Teacaddy have built a reputation for narrative songwriting; smartly lyrical with sly wit and poignancy. Their debut EP, Blind Leading The Blind opened to audiences with a sold-out theatrical show. Their following full-length album, The Homeward Stretch was recorded with multi-award winner Lee Prebble, and was warmly received by critics. In 2010 the pair were awarded a Wild Creations artists-in-residency grant from Creative NZ and the Department of Conservation. This saw them in song-writing exile for six weeks on the shores of Lake Tarawera where they researched, wrote and recorded their translations of local history and isolation in a site-responsive manner. The resulting album, All Mountains Are Men was released in June 2011. Rosy Tin Teacaddy are currently modernising their live sound to incorporate the layers of electronica present in their albums and also writing new material.
