This tour marks the first time that the two alt-country legends have
teamed up to co-headline a tour of New Zealand.



Jim White shot to fame as a walking talking icon of offbeat alt country music in the BBC documentary Searching For The Wrong-Eyed Jesus and has since consolidated his place as a star of Southern gothic with two massively acclaimed albums Transnormal Skiperoo and Drill A Hole in That Substrate And Tell Me What You See. The soundtrack to the documentary has also been hailed as one of the top two alt-country releases of all time in Mojo magazine.

John Doe is the founding member of the legendary LA punk band X – and starred in a massively influential documentary on the early LA punk scene. The Decline Of Western Civilisation (which spawned the notorious Decline of Western Civilisation 2 – The Metal Years). Doe subsequently appeared in the film Paris Texas, and his musical career has been littered with critically adored albums that have spanned punk, rockabilly, roots, blues and pure country. His latest on-line
only release The Golden State features a cover of his track The Golden State by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder teamed with Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker, tucked in amongst four different Doe performances of the track.
