After hitting #1 on the NZ Alt charts, and #1 with both singles on the 95bFM Top 10, Te Whanganui-a-Tara’s crooked-alt-rock Menzies bring their debut album 'Holding My Cold Hand, Even Though Yours Is Warm' to Te Papaioea.
Joined by local legends of the Manawatu renaissance Either Eyether.
“Wow, you guys gave me so much energy” – MJ Lenderman on Menzies, at Camp a Low Hum
“There’s no one else like them” – Right Chord Music UK
The record blends twisted guitars, sing-them-later melodies, and deeply Aotearoa storytelling; Suzy Cato, trays of sausage rolls, romantic feelings towards All Blacks. It’s raw, heartfelt, sometimes humorous, and unlike anything else in the country right now.
Live, Menzies are a band you don’t forget. A show you feel as much as hear. A journey.
With praise from MJ Lenderman himself, this is one of NZ’s most exciting rising acts, and not one to miss.
