03 March 2023 - 0 Comments
The Pet Rocks, the 90's era postmodern rock band are returning for their first Aotearoa shows since 2000. The band are reuniting to mark 25 years since the completion of their unreleased album PR Nightmare (Out March 2023 through 1:12 Records).
The band will headline Whammy Bar on Friday 31st March and Raglan's Yot Club on Saturday April 8th (Easter Saturday) alongside Tāmaki Makaurau heroes Hallelujah Picassos (both Shows), Andrew Tolley’s motorik music machine Warm Leather (Whammy) and Scott Brown’s post-punk party gang Cindy (Yot Club).
Founding member Nick Kreisler (vocals / guitar) will be joined by 90's members Steven Shaw (bass), Kim Martinengo (drums) and Dominic Blaazer (electric piano, synthesizer). “Guitarist Simon Sampson is the only member we couldn’t pull in. He lives in London these days, so unfortunately, he can’t join us. We have recruited Aaron Wood (Grande Cobra, Los Hories) who is a close friend and will totally bring the guitar heat” Kreisler explained.
Tickets are a well-priced $20 plus booking fee. These are on Sale from Friday 3 March at www.undertheradar.co.nz.
The Pet Rocks debut album, PR Nightmare will be released on CD only in March through 1:12 Records. “It runs contrary to common sense that we release a CD when the world has given up on the format, but it fits the band’s original intention and encapsulates the album’s title nicely” Kreisler laughs.
