Archie Clark was born on the wild West Coast of New Zealand's South Island and raised in the legendary coal-mining town of Blackball. He started his musical apprenticeship there, playing on the West Coast with his first band The Blackball Shufflers before moving with his young family to Christchurch to follow music full-time and tour the South Island with blues-rockers The Wrongway Corrigan Band.
Archie continued to play in bands around the Christchurch and the mid-Canterbury area during the 1980s in bands including Streetlife, Stop that Train, Naked by Mistake and Rio & the Hurricane Horn Section. He was also writing songs, but a growing family and a developing career in the telecommunications industry required a move to Wellington and meant that music took a back seat for the next 15 years. A move to Tauranga in The Bay of Plenty in 2005 reignited the flame.
The fifteen tracks on this album are for the most part true stories, half of them written in recent years while travelling through China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and India, including the title track “50 Days In Asia”. Other songs, such as the iconic blues stomp “Elephant Blues”, date back to those early Christchurch days. Musically the album's vibe is that of accessible mainstream rock with a solid dose of blues and a scattering of country and jazz.
Recorded at Boatshed Studio in Tauranga, in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty, 50 Days In Asia features some of the Bay's premier players and was produced by The Boatshed's Nigel Masters, noted for albums he has made with Shona Laing, Jan Preston, Kokomo, Brilleaux and many other top New Zealand acts.
