BEST GIG YOU PLAYED THIS YEAR AND WHY?

Man this is a hard one, it’s a toss up between our overcap show at Dead Witch in Auckland, New Zealand or our debut Melbourne show at The Evelyn Hotel. Both were incredible and we loved every minute of it. But if there was a winner it would absolutely be our debut Melbourne show.https://www.instagram.com/p/CxpL46UJFXp/?hl=en

WHAT WAS THE RECEPTION LIKE FOR YOUR NEW MATERIAL THIS YEAR?

It was honestly incredible, and we are blown away that a little ole band from New Zealand can reach such feats so early on in our musical career. It gives us even more fuel for our fire and we can't wait to showcase what we’ve been working on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6KoB-9qzCU
