Paquin winter tour and new single “Silhouette”

Paquin will be bringing their krautrock inspired synthpop to the main centres this July. The creative vision of producer Tom Healy (Popstrangers, She’s So Rad.) Paquin also features Westley Holdsworth (Proton Beast), Stu Harwood (Tono and the Finance Company), and David Flyger.

Paquin have been performing around Auckland for the last year and shared the stage with the likes of Princess Chelsea, Badd Energy, Ruby Frost and Sherpa. They’re currently putting the final touches to their second EP, to be released later in the year.
