Dunedin!

Dunedin! (On the Low Hum tour).

Essentially we scam free recording time where we can and get as many songs down live as humanly possible in one night.. Then we get Dale Cotton to fix them up and make them sound good.

Our most recent recordings with Rachel Wakey went pretty well I thought.

The ones that started at 10pm and finished at 7am.

bFM, Monday mornings 1-3am.
The Future holds…?
Touring with our buddies Teenwolf, Kill Surf City and the Whipping Cats in early Feb and releasing our EP… Dunedin Orientation mid Feb and then recording our album after all that with Dale Cotton… then heaps more.
