Soft Bait Announce 'Life Advice' Album Release Tour Supports

Tāmaki Makaurau's premier post-punks Soft Bait are currently basking in the glory and gushing praise provoked by their new Flying Nun album Life Advice, and will soon be rattling their dags for a four date release tour of Aotearoa. They've shoulder-tapped an assortment of peers for the gigs to come, joined at their hometown's Double Whammy by the newly revamped (and even heavier) Sulfate, Stud Finder and Bunnings-loving mystery DJ / producer Donk Dobbo, Wurld Series (whose 2023 album The Giant's Lawn remains very exceptional) and Guideless at Ōtautahi's darkroom, Shotgun Wedding and punk noiseniks Vagina Dry at Ōtepoti's iconic The Crown, and Buffcat and True Mets in the capital. In the zone maestros in the studio and on stage, read our conversation with Soft Bait's Joshua Hunter and Patrick Hickley all about Life Advice HERE, and please take a tip from us: nab tickets while you can...

"Look at this beautiful list of bands joining us on our upcoming NZ tour. Grab a ticket, it’s going to be a doozy."
