Centre Negative / Blue Cheese / Human Susan South Island Tour Annnounced

Aotearoa's artistic community continues to reap the benefits of the recent influx of NZ musos returning to our shores due to the global pandemic. Back from Australia, Michael McClelland launched the new album from his Centre Negative project Existence Is Buzzy in the midst of 2020's insanity and will be hitting a stage near you this winter — if you reside in Dunedin, Christchurch or Oamaru! They're sharing a triple headline bill alongside fellow "post-punk" noiseniks Blue Cheese and Human Susan, cramming 20 humans on a bus for a two weekend sonic adventure throughout the vast expanses of Te Wai Pounamu, joined by special guests Cuticles in Oamaru. That all adds up to jam-packed aural equation you would have to be some kind of chump to miss out on, grip the details here...

Centre Negative, Blue Cheese, Human Susan
Friday 25th June - Space Academy, Christchurch
Saturday 26th June - Settler Theater, Oamaru w/ Cuticles [early show]
Saturday 3rd July - The Wharf Hotel, Dunedin [early show]
Tickets available HERE via UTR

Press release:

As to whether Centre Negative, Blue Cheese, and Human Susan have a beat, note, or chord in common, well, you'd have to ask a musician. But since our place on the timeline of human history is somewhere after 1977—and presumably also in that small notch right before human exinction—'post-punk' will have to do. Or, if you prefer, 'large'. That's because collective mass might be a better measurement than genre: No fewer than twenty people will fill/stack/flip the bus these three bands have hired to drive from their Dunedin homes to beautiful Oamaru and the bastard plains of Christchurch. This is where you, the reader, will be in two weeks time, taking in these touring bands in all their magnitude. But since ears can't do maths, bring your calculators on down to Space Academy, Settler Hall, and/or the Wharf Hotel.
