Audio Foundation are pleased to announce that an additional date in Tauranga has been added to the already comprehensive NZ tour for acclaimed German post-industrial duo, Hackedepicciotto!
The duo, comprised of Einstürzende Neubauten alumnus Alexander Hacke, and former Crime and the City Solution vocalist, Danielle de Picciotto, will now be sharing their shimmering, atmospheric soundscape in Tauranga on Thursday 21 June at The Incubator / Jam Factory, in addition the dates announced last month for Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. This tour comes off the back of their performing at renowned Hobart festival, Dark Mofo, where they will present alongside the likes of Laurie Anderson, St. Vincent, Electric Wizard, Pan Daijing, Demdike Stare, Autechre, Fis, Merzobw, and many many more.
After years of live performance, the intensity of HackedePicciotto shows, along with the duo's reputation for existential angst, proceeds their arrival. de Picciotto’s Hurdy Gurdy, autoharp and kemenche combines with Hacke’s virtuosic lines on bass, guitar and percussion, punctuated by melancholic, translucent harmonies and underpinned by low electronic rumbles. The soundscapes engendered by this collage bring forth a mesmerizing universe of sound and emotion, leaving audiences both shaken and overjoyed.
