Press Release:

‘Bats’ is the first we have heard from Auckland trio Yolanda since their sophomore EP Cahoots. Produced by Ed Castelow (Dictaphone Blues, The Conjurors) the new single is the darkest, most driven sound the band has ever explored.

With the release of such a song the boys are delighted to announce their most extensive tour of the country yet.

Spanning both islands, this December the band kicks off with Auckland's Cassette #9 supporting Otago's favourite's Males. Meandering down the Waikato, the band plays Mount Manganui's favourite, Major Toms. After nursing their respective hangovers, the boys then trek down towards the capital. Performing for you in Wellington at Puppies, the band will bust down sonic doors before shooting up to Wanganui's Space Monster the following night for another rowdy one.

Having never played in the South Island before, Yolanda will take the touring band's rite of passage and jam on the Interislander as they get taken across the Cook Strait before performing at our nation's finest Greymouth. Beyond that, the band will make their way down to Queenstown, before making their way through the southern land towards Dunedin. The band then pulls together for a show in Christchurch before their last stop of the tour at (fuck yeah!) Barrytown Hall.
