Billie Fee (she/her), Mikey Sperring (he/him - The Drab Doo Riffs, Bib Kids) and Damian Golfinopoulos (he/him, Stress Cadet) are the members of Grecco Romank, a Tāmaki Makaurau based trio who make electronic music perfectly suited for a European Dungeon Rave.

Since 2020 the band have been releasing luxuriously bogan techno tracks inspired by microgenres like Industrial and Eurodance. Their debut album Red Tower was a critical success in Aotearoa’s underground circles and was accompanied by a perfume entitled Leathery Coward.

Today Grecco Romank share their new single Romance Writer, that's accompanied with a music video made by Britt Walton (Ladyhawke, Viva) and steeped in the Victorian aesthetic of the nineteen seventies. Grecco Romank also announce the support acts for their Wet Exit album release tour, taking place throughout Aotearoa in March / April.

Romance Writer sees Grecco Romank go full method, engaging in an elaborate electronic pantomime.

"Most of our songs don’t present our point of view - but instead the perspective of the characters we conjure. This freedom to inhabit the thoughts and of a cast of characters and perspectives gives the Grecco Romank project a sense of range and dynamism. We can be terrible, arch and severe entities from dystopian worlds or… a romance writer, of the Mills & Boon variety, down and out. His schtick wearing thin. Even his leading heroine becomes possessed with free will, and by the end of Romance Writer she has abandoned the author to a writers block."

"Romance Writer is probably the only song we’ve written that is explicitly about a subject, and it borders on being comedy, but once again: having two vocalists is a sure fire way of letting us switch up tone."
