DIE! DIE! DIE!: Originally hailing from Dunedin, Die! Die! Die have spent the better part of the past 4 years on the road touring with the likes of The Blood Brothers, Wire, Slint, and Wolfmother. Playing countless sold out shows, recording critically 2 acclaimed albums Die! Die! Die recorded by the legendary Steve Albini and Promises Promises produced by Shane carter), they have charmed the pants off (most) reviewers in the process, gaining themselves considerable notoriety and an enviable fan base.


The trio embodies a vitality that has long since made its way into the recent rock and punk circuits. They aren't a rehearsed set of messages or stage antics, no glitter, no make-up, no phony sass.


Cutting to the quick, their songs and live delivery are nothing short of awe-inspiring. These three are on the forefront of a new revolution. Without the aid of gimmicks or pretense, Die! Die! Die! aim to appeal to all walks of life without alienating ANYONE!


Cathartic, direct, indispensable.. You will know them as Die! Die! Die!

DISASTERADIO: DISASTERADIO is a band from New Zealand consisting of LUKE ROWELL and an excellent COMPUTER. Combining pop melody and electronics with a dash of genre referentialism, Luke has always been fascinated with electronic music from a very young age after realising the cosmic connection between Walter Carlos's Switched On Bach and Commodore 64 game soundtracks. He love the idea that something "fake" can be more real, beautiful and genuine than something "real".


Formed in 1999, when Luke began to share the music he’d been making on mp3.com and through extremely good luck and a little bit of hard work led to over 10 tours of New Zealand and one of Europe / UK. His latest album Visions is out on good buddy Blink’s A Low Hum Label in NZ.


His favouritest bands ever are Sparks, Kraftwerk, Devo, Pere Ubu, Ariel Pink and Add N To (X).

SETS: Formally of Sets of 57, branching out as a one man band has done nothing to diminish the aural quality of the now one-man-band SETS. Loop pedal, keyboard and guitar, and a funky little television frequency gadget that responds to the music waves, SETS is freaky, awesome, and he hails from Wanganui. Party.
