Australia's Mess Esque have announced their first ever nationwide tour of Aotearoa. The collaborative project of multi-instrumentalist Mick Turner (Dirty Three) and the spellbinding singing / poetic spoken word utterances of Helen Franzmann (McKisko), Mess Esque's 2021 self-titled debut album was recorded between both artists' home bases in Melbourne and Brisbane during the lockdown era — in fact they didn't meet in the physical realm until after their long player was completed. They'll be playing intimate headline dates together in Tāmaki Makaurau, Featherston, Te Whanganui-a-Tara and Ōtepoti.
