Dead Favours are making their long overdue return to Wellington with new material after being delayed for a year with lockdowns and restrictions!
Last time we played Valhalla was an absolute party and we can't wait to do it again!!
Dead Favours are an alternative rock group from Auckland, New Zealand. Formed in 2016 by drummer Charlie Smith and vocalist Jared Wrennall, previously the drummer for the Grammy nominated band Steriogram. The band is made up of Jared Wrennall (vocals/guitar), Kyle Wetton (guitar), Charlie Smith (drums) and most recently the addition of Alex Elvis (also known for his work fronting Kiwi Rock Act Skinny Hobos) on bass guitar.
The band have achieved a lot in a short time; having just taken out the award for Best Rock Act at the 2021 Aotearoa Music Awards they have also worked with a number of notable producers including Tom Larkin of Shihad and Chris Mac of Six60 and shared the stage with the likes of Royal Blood, Wolfmother, Rise Against and Halestorm, along with a string of notable kiwi acts. The group are now working on the second instalment of their two part album ‘Riffing & Yelling’, which has been delayed due to Covid restrictions stopping them from writing and recording together but are in the studio putting the final touches on recording.
With local legends Sea Mouse and Curly's Jewels now added as support, this is be going to be a huuuuuge night!
