Kerretta
Kerretta is an experimental rock band from Auckland, New Zealand. The band consists of bass player William Waters; drummer H.Walker; and guitarist David Holmes. They have been compared to Mogwai, Isis (band), and Russian Circles and have mostly recorded instrumentals.
History
Kerretta formed in mid-2005, combining members of Avotor (H.Walker), Meterman (William Waters) and David Holmes who was producing records for the likes of Jakob (band), and An Emerald City . Their first release was in December 2007, with the release of the Death In The Future/Wisnierska on 7" through Midium Records after playing at various shows throughout New Zealand where an unexpected amount of enthusiasm from New Zealand college radio amounted from this first single.
In early 2008 they recorded a 4 track 12" entitled "Antient" with Dale Cotton in Port Chalmers, Dunedin and began supporting the likes of US artist's The Breeders, Trail Of Dead as well as invites to respected festivals such as Big Day Out. In 2009 They released their self-produced debut album, Vilayer, through German label Golden Antenna (home to Maserati (band)), which it was nominated for the Taite Music Prize in 2010, the New Zealand's equivalent to the Mercury Prize, as well as supported Post Rock outfit from Japan Mono (Japanese band). In 2010 Kerretta toured North America, performing at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, United States and alongside the likes of Poison Arrows( members of Dead Moon), Lullabye Arkestra and Narrows.

Pity For A Dime
by: CreedAn artificial season
Covered by summer rain
Losing all my reason
Cause there's nothing left to blame
Shadows paint the sidewalk
A living picture in a frame
See the sea of people
All their faces look the same
So I sat down for awhile
Forcing a smile
In a state of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, Just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime
Yeah, Just one dime
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith
