Press Relase:

NOISE-POP REVOLUTIONARIES HEALTH TOURING NEW ZEALAND IN FEBRUARY

Galesburg and Sad Guy, in association with Mystery Girl are very pleased to present Los Angeles, California’s HEALTH, on their first-ever New Zealand tour.

Renowned for their blistering, furious live shows – more than many bands, the stage is their primary medium, so much so that much of their output has actually been recorded in LA venue The Smell during off-hours, instead of in a traditional studio – HEALTH in many ways sit at the apex of some of the most defining musical styles of the past decade (or longer). Creating a seamless blend of chaos and melodicism, musicianship and experimentation, HEALTH draws together seemingly disparate sounds drawn from no-wave, post-punk, noise & grindcore, electronic pop & ambient music into a cohesive, formidable whole.

"HEALTH make extremely pleasant noise music. How can such a thing be, you ask? I don't know." - VICE MAGAZINE "HEALTH music can be harsh and grating, of course, but also sensually smooth and sexy and electronic and also metallic and all Fodderstompfy." - LA WEEKLY

Since their formation in 2005, HEALTH’s presence has exploded, with kids dancing, blogs freaking out and critics raving about their shows. Their second album GET COLOR, recorded in an especially gnarly part of Lincoln Heights, L.A with Manny Nieto, is an exuberant proclamation of noise, rock and electronic splendor. The record is a celebration of sound; pretty, harsh, soft and basked in a blanket of ethereal vocals and is the manifesto HEALTH have been promising since their inception.
