Hans Pucket share new festive single I Don't Know What To Get You For Christmas (Do I Really Love You?) from upcoming 7" I Don't Know What To Get You For Christmas (Do I Really Love You?) / Drink With My Friends. Just in the Saint Nick of time for gift giving, the singles are available on a limited run of lathe cut records, hand cut by Ōtautahi genius Johnny Electric of Ride On Super Sound. Pre-order via the Hans Pucket Bandcamp now, or purchase digitally when the two track EP drops next Friday December 17th.

Also on the band's horizon is a solo set by frontman Oliver Devlin at Eye Gum's End Of Year? Fuck Yeah! show tonight in Pōneke, and of course Hans Pucket's 'Confidently Test Out New Material’ tour in April 2022.

From Oliver Devlin:
“I made a lockdown challenge to myself last year to try and write some honest Christmas songs that weren’t crap. These are the first two from that batch. It was thrilling hearing everyone’s additions come in - each of us writing and recording our parts from our homes. Also celebrating our first release with Callum Passells who makes some stunning sax, synth and clarinet contributions!”

These shows promise all the wonders of Hans Pucket’s four-piece lineup. Callum Passells will bring his saxophone and keyboard wizardry to the group. There will be music from their upcoming album; there will be cool new merch; there will be a moment in the set where Jono Nott plays a guitar solo and everyone claps; Oli will forget some lyrics and try to ask Callum Devlin what they are mid-song.

The band is eager to reacquaint themselves with audiences up and down the country, and introduce new songs with their trademark confidence and pep. They aren’t pushing the boat out too far for this one, they’re just getting back out there and playing their thrilling live set, to a good, keen crowd.

Support acts TBA!

Callum Devlin: "It’s exciting. I can’t believe it’s been more than two years since we last 'hit the road'. We’ve really levelled up as a band since Callum [Passells] joined, so I can anticipate some minds being blown, to be quite honest."

Oliver Devlin: "We’re so lucky to get to do this, can’t wait to get out and see some friends and have a boogie!"
