Tauranga-based, sarcasm-enthused post-punk crew Threat.Meet.Protocol have announced they'll playing six shows across Aotearoa to celebrate the release of their forthcoming offering Where Did You Put My Marbles. The band touts that the fresh tunes contained in the EP will demonstrate that as they “get a bit older, their disdain becomes a lot more mellower” and this will be evidenced in imminent single ‘He Saw His Shadow’ which “will be released at some stage during NZ Music Month.” The group are also playing alongside Australian punk legends Hard Ons this month, get hyped with the tour details below...

Have a hoon of Threat.Meet.Protocol’s last album Mindless Consumption as you wait with baited breath to hear Where Did You Put My Marbles in the flesh…

Press Release:

… but we thought Threat.Meet.Protocol were all dick joke and dick drawings and other dick related things? Surely to god they’re not growing up?

The truth is stranger than fiction; having demonstrated their growth with their last album, Mindless Consumption, from a band that wanted to irk everyone to a trio that can knock out more than a catchy, radio friendly tune (see: “The Garden”, which got playlisted on several radio stations the band would at one stage mercilessly taunt), Tauranga’s idiot savants Threat.Meet.Protocol are on the advent of releasing their latest efforts in the form of an EP.

Where Did You Put My Marbles, due for release shortly after New Zealand Music Month (typical), is the kind of release the band would of punched themselves for making back in their nihilistic “Fuck MUZAI” days. But as Austin “Scowling Wolf” Cunningham and co-horts get a little bit older, their disdain becomes a lot more mellower also. The EP’s forthcoming single, “He Saw His Shadow” shows that… which will be released at some stage during NZ Music Month (we still know how to play the game a little), with a tour of New Zealand in support of the new release taking place in June.
