Source-derived summary

Sing the Night Away is a five track EP (plus the bonus track) by New Zealand punk band Steriogram. It was released at concerts during the 2002 NZ Schools Tour. A music video was made for the song "Sing The Night Away" although none of these tracks made their debut album Schmack!. "Sing the Night Away", "Free", and "Big Lady Loving" featured on singles from the album Schmack!, and "White Trash (DLT remix)" features on the Schmack! 2005 Special Tour Edition. West Side! is the only song not to feature on another album or single.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Sing the Night Away” is 1999 extended play. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Sing, Night and Away, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “1999 extended play” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7522777. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002 and 2005.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
