George and Queen

Everyone has something funny to say, except us....

About Me


George and Queen are husband and wife songwriting duo Immi Paterson and Neil Newton, joined by Richard Pharaoh on drums and Panduka Samarasinha on bass. They released their debut album 'City' in 2007, and their second album 'The Wind is Up' set to be released in September this year.
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
"Their debut album City is an elegantly self-produced gem... a wonderfully atmospheric "cityscape" of songs... an aural collage with lots of blended elements creating delicious textures" - Rip it Up Magazine
"high falutin folk... delightfully dinky" - The New Zealand Herald
"It's a wonderfully understated and carefully crafted collection of quite fantastic songs. It's fun, ever-so-slightly quirky, but never zany" - Cheese on Toast
"multifaceted urban curveball" - Real Groove Magazine
"an album called City which has evoked favourable comparisons with the likes of Belle and Sebastian and Yo La Tengo." - Radio New Zealand
"knowing, pyschedelically informed folk, George and Queen occasionally conjure the spirit of long-gone Dunedin altstrum groups as well as the clever cheese of Stereolab and the austere bare bones pop of Young Marble Giants." - Metro Magazine
"Sounds of sparse deserts and lulling rivers are a tribute to the vocal prowess of Immi Paterson and the musical compositions themselves... a sweeping, stuttering soundscape." - NZ Musician
"City" is $30 (NZD) which includes worldwide postage. You can pay by credit card, above... We hope you enjoy!!
