Eyegum Scenic Tours #2 stars capital city guitar-fuzz pychonauts Mirror Ritual, the new (and much more Google-able) moniker of Transistor, squeezing into the van for five double headline dates with Ōtepoti student radio faves Porpoise. A much-needed initiative bringing together regional music communities following a dormant period for tours of any kind, show your support and grip the gig details for Eyegum Scenic Tours #2 below...

Press release:

Eyegum is excited to announce the latest in their Scenic Tour series, Scenic Tours are a tour series organised with two bands, to tour the country together. This current round brings together two of our favourite acts, Mirror Ritual and Porpoise.

Mirror Ritual, formerly known as Transistor are a Poneke based kaleidoscopic dream-fuzz band, steadily releasing tunes, while honing their live show.

Porpoise are a new band hailing from Ōtepoti, featuring big dramatic songs, that build and swell till they reach climatic crescendos, they're the band that touring bands coming through Ōtepoti want to play with. We're very excited to have them on board.
