Phoebe Rings are very pleased to present a special evening playing their debut album Aseurai in full, in the glorious Old Samoan Church on East Street (Next to East St. Hall). With support from DJ Leonard Charles (vinyl set)
Phoebe Rings have gone from strength to strength in 2025, releasing their long awaited debut album on US label Carpark Records to international praise from the likes of Pitchfork. They have toured Australia, Korea, and Japan, and supported Japanese Breakfast at the Auckland Town Hall.
While Phoebe Rings was originally a solo project of Choi’s, Aseurai marks a shift with contributing songwriting credits from the whole band. Across ten songs, Phoebe Ring’s storytelling ranges from tongue-in-cheek musings on gentrification to tender autobiographical memories.
The band wrote, produced, and engineered the album across studios and band members’ homes in 2023/2024 in Tāmaki Makaurau. With Aseurai, Phoebe Rings mark out a brilliant new constellation in their sky, bringing their individual compositions to the fore whilst seamlessly threading them into one celestial body.
