Pig Out
In the two years since the released of their acclaimed mini album 'Club Poems' - which one rave reviews as well as making end of year best at London's Rough Trade - Pig Out have a dozen tours of New Zealand and Big Day Out set under their belt, won b-net awards for Best Electronica track, played SXSW, LA, New York, London and Sydney and taken in a European tour that included headlining the Midi Festival on the French Riviera, a rave in a container ship in Barcelona Harbour and a four hour non-stop set in a Berlin techno club.

Pig Out formed in Christchurch in early 2006, and were popularised through marathon live sets that fused forgotten rave enthusiasm with live funk bass lines, raw MCing and the thump of Detroit techno. This genre mash up forged a distinctive sound, utilising a variety of energy sources, guest musicians, old and new equipment and sometimes crowd members to pull off. Pig Out become the go-to party band and their legendary shows introduced clubbing and dance music to a generation of young New Zealand indie kids.

In 2009, still nothing sounds like Pig Out. Now based in Auckland, Maire Celeste and Kit Lawrence have spent the last year writing material for their debut full length album 'Rave X' to be released early 2010 through Tardus/Universal. 'Rave X' can be read as a year zero for all the possibilities of a genre that is as hard to pin down as the band who created it. Brooding sub bass rubs shoulders with joyful piano stabs, dark dubstep sits next to twisted electro and futuristic drum n bass charged bangers morph into ecstatic rave throwbacks.
