Gig & Concert News - Carb on Carb Announce Final Tour

Carb on Carb Announce Final Tour

29 October 2024 - 0 Comments

Carb on Carb have announced their final tour - a 10-date run of Australia and New Zealand.

As announced on social media in August, the currently Whanganui-based two-piece are ending the band after 12 years of touring and 3 albums. Known for being advocates of DIY emo-punk on both sides of the Tasman, Carb on Carb will take to the air and road for one more run - their 17th of NZ and 15th of Australia!

Carb on Carb are a product of many places. In the band’s lifetime they have been based in 4 cities and played in at least 70. The band's first and self-titled album (2015) was “noisy and heartfelt, bridging the gap between 1990's emo bands like Rainer Maria and current counterparts like Waxahatchee” (Mess + Noise). Relentless touring won over fans across Australasia and the band temporarily relocated to Australia in 2017. This time away drew the band’s focus back to home with their celebrated second album For Ages (2018); an extended love letter to NZ, with “soaring vocals, a guitar tone warm as a woollen blanket, mathy lead bits, ever changing dynamics and crash cymbals that wash over you like the ocean...as good an emo release as you will hear anywhere this year” (4ZZZ).

After few years back in Aotearoa and the inevitable covid-delay factor, their third and final album Take Time was released earlier this year; "a cathartic and strangely calming experience. I can’t really think of many albums that tackle the topic of time and aging with such fun, irreverence and heartfelt emotion. Take Time is a collection of powerful songs, performed beautifully and written with absolute honesty. It’s what albums should be – an expression of the artist without filter” (Muzic.net.nz).

The shows are a chance connect again before this music becomes nostalgia. In true Carb on Carb style the venues are informal, intimate and all ages where they can be. Setlists will be fan-selected and participation encouraged. Attendees are requested to stay true young emo!
