Private Function (Aus) & DARTZ - Napier and Gisborne Shows Announced

We collectively earned the thirst last year and now it's shaping up to be the summer of DARTZ. Launching their new album Dangerous Day To Be A Cold One on March 1st via Flying Nun — the sequel to their chart-topping 2022 debut — the DARTZ boys have announced double headline doozies in "Napier and Gisborne ONLY!" Pōneke's fab four Danz, Clark Mathews, Crispy and Rollyz will be joined at The Cabana and Smash Palace by un-Googleable chums from across the ditch, Naarm punks Private Function, whose new album 370HSSV 0773H includes such on-point anthems as 'I’m This Far Away (From Being The Worst Person You’ve Ever Met)', 'Bad Day To Be A Beer' (hey that sounds familiar) and 'I Just Met The Biggest Cunt In The World (It Is You)'.

Jetting away to Australia this week for a six date tour, DARTZ will be dusting off some (relatively) old favourites alongside future classics from the new record for February's shows, "hand-picked by DARTZ CEO and lead backing vocalist, Clark Mathews." Don't be fooled by the name, Private Function and DARTZ are an all-inclusive musical proposition you can't afford to miss...


“There’s definitely mixed emotions going into these ones, [muffled sounds of deep breaths, we assume holding back tears] it’s going to be tough saying goodbye to some of these older songs”
— Danz

Press release:

Napier and Gisborne ONLY! DARTZ return to the east coast for two very exclusive shows with the worlds other best band, Australia's PRIVATE FUNCTION.

Off the back of a comprehensive tour through every Burger King in Europe supporting the release of their third and critically acclaimed album “370HSSV 0773H”, certified plane-punk connoisseurs, Private Function will touch down in NZ for the first time this February.

Since the release of their debut album “St. Anger”, PF have been relentlessly pursuing every stupid idea under the sun. They created the world’s first scratchable album cover, pressed vinyl containing piss (an unprecedented feat of chemical engineering), sold merch for 69c, and punched cannies on the red carpet after bullying their way into Australia’s music awards. With Private Function’s unparalleled list of accolades, it’s no wonder that they’re Still On Top!

DARTZ's return to Napier will mark the end of an era as one of their last performances before the release of their sophomore album “Dangerous Day To Be A Cold One”. The band from Wellington, New Zealand promises to deliver a set of all killer and no filler, stone cold classics from the catalogue and a curated selection of singles from the upcoming record hand-picked by DARTZ CEO and lead backing vocalist, Clark Mathews. When asked about the tour, lead singer Danz said, “There’s definitely mixed emotions going into these ones, [muffled sounds of deep breaths, we assume holding back tears] it’s going to be tough saying goodbye to some of these older songs”
