Gig Information

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS AUTUMN SPLENDOR AND COOL CULT.

Its been a while, has it not'

But finally, MUZAI Records and Sherpa have pulled their act together, sat down over a game of Yahtzee and discussed a full scale sonic attack on Australasia. Then we realized were not another rock band and dont ever talk that way, so instead decided to tour the bands sophomore release, Pretty Cool Optical Illusions in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.... for now.

Having recorded last year ...with the team at ThinkT Studios in Auckland and carefully picking their spots when to release, Pretty Cool Optical Illusions has grown away from the high-school pop the band charted with Im Sparklers into a more maturer release - probably a given since theyre all older now also.

What wasnt a given was just how much of a growth the band undertook with the addition of Ben Tindall as a second guitarist - now with the metronome like rhythm section of Vince McMillan (drums) and Sam Cussen (bass) ever tighter than before and Tindalls steady guitar work mapping everything out, it gives Earl Ho (vocalist, guitarist) carte blanche to wonder with his guitar into that world of his own hes only hinted at previously.

EP released from February 28th; but advance copies will be for sale at the shows.
