JAKOB TO PLAY AUCKLAND AND WELLINGTON IN MARCH
New Zealand’s prog-rock heroes Jakob are one of the country’s most esteemed rock acts, their sonic walls of sound a dynamic intensity unparalleled. They bounced back from years of injuries and interruptions with their powerhouse record Sines in 2015 to collect the acclaimed Taite Prize and continued to storm the country with a captivating, inimitable series of live shows.
2016 shows no sign of slowing, and Jakob are hitting the road again to deliver hard-hitting performances in both Wellington (March 12, San Fran Bathhouse) and Auckland (March 19, Kings Arms). This formidable sonic instrumental three-piece have toured the world with the likes of Isis, Tool, Cog and Damo Suzuki (Can), taking their award-winning and thoughtfully crafted recorded output to the stage for a blistering riot. As London music blogechoesanddust.com waxed, Jakob’s live show leaves the listener “right on the edge of that particular precipice, awestruck and dumbfounded, and begging for more”.
Be sure to catch Jakob in their most natural habitat - on stage - where they are certain to deliver material from Sines and beyond with spellbinding precision.
