Auckland’s GALLOPING HOOVES OF THE APOCALYPSE (GHOTA) and Wellington’s SKAFACE CLAW is returning to the South Island this winter for SCRAGFEST 2007. This twelve show tour commences in Wellington on Friday 24 August and concludes aboard the Interislander ferry Aratere on Monday 3 September. Support for the tour is Nelson’s outrageous CHERNOBYL KID (of BLISTERING TONGUES infamy).

SCRAGFEST 2007 follows on from both band’s joint tour of South Island winter spots in October 2006 and is envisioned to become an annual event prospectively adding in the North Island and Stewart Island in 2008.

For this tourney both bands will play lounge versions of each others tunes on ferry crossings, battle song-for-song at near spastic intensity during in-store sets and live-to-air’s, and host private functions in the countryside near Motueka and Waitati. Highlights of SCRAGFEST 2007 will include shows in the ski-season centres of Wanaka and Queenstown. Both bands look forward to a huge show at home-town of Dunedin on 31 August.

SKAFACE CLAW

V. Vitali – Bass/Vocals
Hank Nicholson III – Guitar
Hoffaloff Verhoff– Drums
Toddy ‘Dog’ Bokser – Sax
Paddy Poultrygeist - Organ

SkaFace Claw released their debut album The Goblin Church of Seacliff on Dunedin’s Rebel High Records in 2007. Completely self-produced, it showcases their raucous and uniquely groovy scrag-up of surf punk and ska-billy punk, which always provides the punters with a party. The band includes ex-members of RITALIN, CHRISTPUNCHER, and STINKY 69. Further information and MP3’s can be found at http://skaface.rebelhigh.org

GALLOPING HOOVES OF THE APOCALYPSE

Nigel Cellars – Bass/Vocals
Huge Harlow – Guitar/Vocals
Kriss Dee – Guitar/Vocals
The Animal – Drums

GHOTA include ex-members of DRUNK UNCLE, STINKY 69, RITALIN, FLAK, and THE BLOODY SOULS. Several of their numbers were featured on TV3 snow sports series WINTER DIARIES over June/July 2007. The band will be playing blackened punk rock tunes from their debut album GHOTA and their upcoming second album Atheos, due out on 24 August 2007. The album will be available at the shows, in stores and via the band’s website at www.gallopinghooves.co.nz
