Ōtautahi's The Wendys release new single 'Dropping In' on January 26 and are playing six date tour of Aotearoa, in February, to celebrate.
'Dropping In' is the second single from the long awaited, debut album 'Let's Go To The Beach', due out in May 2024 on Ōtautahi's Leather Jacket Records. Produced by Ryan Fisherman, the track encapsulates the bare minimum in surfing etiquette, not dropping in on a fellow surfer's wave!
The single will be released digitally with a live version of ‘Up The Bum, No Babies’ by Sexy Animals, recorded at Darkroom Circle Jerk in May 2021
It's been two long years since the surf punk quartet released their last single 'Lo Fi Lies', but the band hasn't just been sitting in the lifeguard tower watching the waves. They played a blistering set at Twisted Frequency 2022/23, supported NZ rock royalty in front of hundreds of pissed up farmers; opened for O.G. U.K. punks, Cockney Rejects; jammed on stage with All Blacks legend Josh Kronfeld in Dunedin; and toured the country multiple times spreading the good word of surf.
This February, the band will once again be taking that message on the road, coming to a sweaty bar or club room near you!
