This March and April, Auckland's The Wrongmen will be setting off on tour both in support of last years debut EP 'Den of Vipers' and in preparations for a forthcoming 7" record (which features two new tracks and a cover).
With an unparalleled live show based on true intensity and a confrontational performer-audience relationship, The Wrongmen provide an engaging presence on stage. The nature of the performance then becomes participatory and seems to break the barrier between traditionally simple "consumer"-performer relations and to instigate a new level of passion and cartharsis for all invovled.
The Wrongmen's sound is constantly evolving, and the upcoming 7" showcases a new maturity that combines the fury of 'Den of Vipers' with a new utilisation of rounded dynamics and repetition; something that is sure to be heard on this tour as well.
All in all, The Wrongmen's New Zealand tour is a celebratino of independent thought and action, and a chance to experience one of New Zealand's most exciting and hard-working bands who are creating their own path through a music scene of stereotypes.
The Wrongmen have supported Some Girls (US), Schifosi (AUS), Scumsystemkill (AUS), and played festivals ranging from Hamtown Smackdown (2006, and again this year) to Sharkfest (2006).
