White Lies Announce NZ Show In August

The UK's White Lies are heading to NZ in August to play a one show at The Studio in Auckland.

Their visit to NZ is part of a worldwide assault in support of their debut album To Lose My Life.  We had a chat to the lead singer a little while ago but unfortunately our technology failed us but we can say with certainty that these dudes are pros and will definitely put on a good show.

Secret Sounds and Solid Entertainment are delighted to announce that WHITE LIES will play for the first time in New Zealand at The Studio, Auckland, Saturday August 1st. It’s the right band, at the right time, a truly tantalizing prospect. (An all ages and licensed event.) “maybe, just maybe, on this occasion the reason why the spotlight is shining so brightly on this West London trio is simply down to the quality of their songs, because make no mistake, if To Lose My Life is anything to go by, White Lies have an armoury of them in abundance.” – Drowned In Sound “Epic British Indie reborn!” – Mojo

Harking back to the sonic strains of Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen and Interpol, WHITE LIES have an uncanny knack for penning unforgettable hooklines and insatiable choruses… by the bucketload!

“For all its glum pronouncements of murder, mortality and loss, it’s an ecstatic listen, ponderous party music.” – NME Album Review

Assured beyond their years the West London trio’s music deals with the more extreme side of people’s emotions and fears. Dark lyrics and murderous undertones are infused with catchy melodies and danceable beats with the band themselves referencing as widely as Talking Heads, Nick Cave, Bjork and The Cars. To Lose My Life caught instant international attention with WHITE LIES playing sold out headline shows across the UK and joining the bill of every major festival in Europe, Japan and the USA including Roskilde Festival, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Fuji Rock, Lollapalooza and many more. Last month they were name-checked as one of the buzz bands at Coachella.

“White Lies' polished synth rock effuses more melodrama than any young group should be allotted: To Lose My Life is full of pulsating bass lines and high-def keyboard atmospherics, underpinning singer Harry McVeigh's arena-ready wail and gothed-out lyrics.” – Rolling Stone USA

The trio have already taken SXSW by storm, made their US television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman and played a full NME presents USA tour. WHITE LIEShave shared the stage with the likes of Snow Patrol, Friendly Fires, Florence and the Machine and Glasvegas to name a few. The band have graced the cover of the NME and The Fly, and been hailed as the keepers of new indie rock across the music press and beyond in everything from The Times to The Guardian. Onstage WHITE LIES are as perfectly formed as their songs, their live shows renowned for their intensity as well as getting their audience dancing with abandon. The rest of the world has been let in on the secret, now’s the time to learn the truth and embrace WHITE LIES To Lose My Life is out now through Universal Music.
