“We are so excited to be touring New Zealand for the first time this November. These will be our debut shows outside of Australia, which is so crazy to think as we only started the South Summit journey three years ago,” says Nemo.
“It’s also extra special as we (Zaya and Nemo) are half Māori, so it’s kind of like a homecoming for us. A chance to see our culture and heritage for the first time in the flesh. So keen to jump across the pond in a few weeks for these amazing shows!”
South Summit are a brilliant emerging band hailing from the West Coast of Australia. Music has brought these young lads together from all walks of life. Josh, a Kamilaroi/Yuin man (New South Wales), Zaya and Nemo, brothers from Erub Islands (Torres Straits) and Māori (New Zealand), along with Nathan and Fynn are proud to present their different cultures and demonstrate how music can unite people no matter where you come from.
The five piece formed during the lockdowns of 2020, and they’ve spent the last 12 months performing across Australia with back-to-back national tours. With a host of sold-out shows already to their name, they show no signs of slowing down.
They recently released their new EP Tales of The Yeti, which is an expansive, probing and multi-faceted six-track record that reflects the journey they have all been on.
From late night jams, to writing on the road, South Summit wanted to explore every aspect and realm of their influences, as they worked them all into Tales of The Yeti. Featuring previous singles Just Like You, I Feel It, Tuned In and Sidelines, the band also added new tracks Dreaming and Fallen Friend to round out the release.
Recorded back in their hometown of Perth, the band joined up again with longtime collaborator and producer Dave Parkin (Spacey Jane, Tired Lion, Bob Evans) of Blackbird Sound Studio. His guidance helped to take the formative South Summit jam sessions and mould their ideas into fully formed arrangements. This gave the band the freedom to experiment with styles, genres & themes, not being held down by preconceived notions and truly allowing them to discover what makes the South Summit sound.
In celebration of the release of Tales of The Yeti, South Summit will head out on their largest and broadest headline tour to date. Taking their songs internationally for the first time, the band will be in New Zealand in November, to coincide with six Australian headline dates.
Joining South Summit at their three New Zealand dates is rising Aotearoa star, George Villa.
South Summit are quickly moving from rising-stars, to headliners within their own rights. Whilst the band have been playing Tales of The Yeti live for a while now, this tour will also mark the first chance for fans to sing along with the tracks, with the release of the EP.
