Fazerdaze Touring Aotearoa New Zealand in August

Roundly recognised as the big winner of this year's Aotearoa Music Awards, scooping up Best Solo Artist and Album Of The Year for her fiendishly awaited Soft Power, Fazerdaze aka Amelia Murray has announced something of a victory lap of her homeland. The globally adored songwriter / producer will local treat fans in Ōtautahi, Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Whanganui-a-Tara to special duo show performances this August, accompanied onstage for all three dates by bandmate Dave Rowlands.

Amelia Murray is then heading overseas for a tour of the US alongside alt-rock icons Pixies and Spoon, plus a number of overseas headline dates of her own. Experience the fuzz-drenched new wave / dream-pop expanses of Fazerdaze's latest single 'Motorway' and go catch this world class talent before she zooms away, here are the details...

"This is what I created during the darkest, loneliest, most tumultuous years of my life – entering womanhood, navigating the world, the music industry, and what I thought was love. In my scariest moments, this album was my anchor for hope, purpose, and light." - Amelia Murray on Soft Power

Press release:

Fresh off Aotearoa Music Award wins for Best Solo Artist and Album Of The Year, coupled with the release of her critically acclaimed album Soft Power, Ōtautahi dream-pop artist Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) is bringing her special duo show to Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland.

Soft Power follows Fazerdazes 2017 cult classic debut Morningside and 2022 Break! EP, which were praised by outlets including Pitchfork, MOJO, The Guardian, and more. Across 11 self produced and self-dubbed “bedroom stadium” tracks, Amelia melds dreamy synths and electronic beats with rock elements, creating a sound that balances gritty authenticity and refined pop brilliance.

These NZ shows come ahead of an extensive North American tour, including support for Pixies and her own headline dates. It’s the perfect way to celebrate new single “Motorway”, as well as Fazerdaze’s recent global rise including Spotify RADAR recognition, a Times Square billboard, and Rolling Stone Australia’s #1 NZ Album of 2024.
