Dateline is the musical project of Katie Everingham (she/her), a musician and songwriter based in Te Whanganui a Tara (Wellington).
Since 2019 her band has been a revolving cast of Aotearoa's brightest talent, with previous incarnations including members of The Beths, Hans Pucket, and Dick Move. Returning in 2024, Everingham is joined by Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa (Ebony Lamb, French For Rabbits, Glass Vaults), Phoebe Johnson (Ebony Lamb, Revulva), and Reuben McDonald.
Everingham's lyrical prowess and humorous story telling aptly captures the complex emotions and vulnerabilities that come with motherhood and moving into your early thirties. Resonating with deep emotion, Dateline's back catalogue packs a one-two punch of crunched guitars and power pop sensibilities.
2024 has been a remarkable year for the Wellington group, they've released a run of hot singles (Be Good, Hands and Choose Me (the latter being longlisted for the APRA AMCOS Silver Scroll Award)), sold out their hometown shows (that featured guest appearances from Sam Scott and Luke Buda from The Phoenix Foundation) and performed at Welcome To Nowhere, Going Global and Great Sounds Great.
Dateline just released their long awaited album It's All Downhill From Here, available digitally and on Vinyl LP.
