Die! Die! Die! announce they are “doin’ it for the kids” by ramming in two free performances throughout their SWIM tour.
First one will in fact be the tour kick off as the band shake the walls of JB Hi Fi Queen St Auckland at 6.00pm on album release day, this Friday 15th August. The second will be in Dunedin at Portil Records, Harvest Court Mall in the city centre at 4.00pm Friday 29th August, where there’s room to squish in at least 300 kids!!
Die! Die! Die! Are also stoked to announce all the tour details including who is playing where and when. Andrew Wilson explains, “We have decided to take Caroles on tour because I think they are one of the most exciting live bands I have seen in the world over the last couple of years. Every single show we have chosen to play with our friends and we thank them all for playing with us. There is so much exciting music being made in New Zealand now I’m hoping people can celebrate that as well as our album release.”
