Soft Bait Touring Nationwide This September
Firmly established locally as a dynamite live act and student radio darlings, Soft Bait are playing their first ever Australian run of shows next month, touring their very well received latest Flying Nun Records album Life Advice. Even better as far as Aotearoa fans are concerned, the Tāmaki post-punks are immediately following through with a six date spring tour of their homeland, commencing with an already announced performance at Great Sounds Great festival in Pōneke, plus a cosy (likely raucous) Whammy Public Bar gig, before tearing up stages in Kirikiriroa, Ōtautahi, Ōtepoti and Taupō.
Revisit our recent chinwag with Soft Bait's Joshua Hunter and Patrick Hickley HERE, and look forward to "songs from Life Advice, earlier favourites, and a glimpse of what's next" this September...
