Exiter


Right now we are putting the finishing touches on our debut EP - we hope to have it out by the end of the month. It will have 5 tracks, which we recorded at a variety of locations - York St Studios, Auckland Uni and my kitchen - and we've really enjoyed messing around in the studio. So yeah everything seems to be going well for us so far. In May we won the R'Totos Band Quest and earlier this month we came 2nd at Battle of the Bands. We live for playing gigs and we're beginning to play a few more outside of Auckland. Jon is actually the only one in the band from Auckland and we find that the crowds get into it more the further south you go. We are planning a national tour in late January and we hope to go as far down as Dunedin and Queenstown. But we've only been together for a year now, and we were strangers before then, so its early days yet - we're still messing around trying to find our feet and having a laugh while doing it.
