OPOSSOM ‘Electric Hawaii’ NZ SHOWS ANNOUNCED

In celebration of the release of OPOSSOM’s “Electric Hawaii’ album on June 1, NZ show dates have been announced.

Bringing OPOSSOM to the stage, Kody Nielson will be joined by Bic Runga in the role of chanteuse and multi-instrumentalist, and former fellow Mint Chick Michael Logie on bass guitar duties.

The band’s handful of live performances have already been drawing rave reviews. OPOSSOM kicked off the Laneway Festival in January and reappeared in London for a handful of shows in April.

These very special OPOSSOM dates will not want to be missed. Auckland’s intimate Lucha Lounge hosts a three-night stand of album launch events around the release date, with Wellington greeting the band the following week. Further national shows will be announced shortly.

Home-written, recorded and mixed by Kody with just the final mastering courtesy of Howie Weinberg, “Electric Hawaii” is a unique window into a lively, engaging world of carefully layered sonic layers of light and dark.

The full-length album will be released by Dark Summer Records on June 1 2012.
