Gig Information

Wrangler is presenting a series of gigs at Cassette Nine over summer. More to be announced shortly, but Unknown Mortal Orchestra will play at Cassette Nine on January 10th, 2013, ahead of their opening slot for Weezer on Friday 11th January.

As Unknown Mortal Orchestra, New Zealand by-way-of Portland songwriter and guitarist Ruban Nielson marries psychedelia with sharp Soul touchstones. Timeless pop hooks are produced with a soft buzzsaw edge so that the effect is akin to Stevie Wonder producing Plastic Ono Band into Nuggets-like gems. Its a one-two punch that has caught the ear of hip-hop community heavyweights (uestlove, El-P, Big Boi) and indie-world heroes (Liars, Toro Y Moi).

Now working with bassist Jacob Portrait and drummer Greg Rogrove as a live band, Ruban and Unknown Mortal Orchestra are riding high off recent tours with Grizzly Bear and Weezer, as well as finalist positions the categories of Best Male Solo Artist and Best Alternative Album at the 2012 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
