New Zealand, hold
onto your hats, skateboards and Gameboys – Hell is Now Love is psyched to
announce that the zombie 8-bit sound experience that is Beijing’s The
GUIGUISUISUI Show will be hitting our shores next month.
The self-described “one-man punk horror opera” will be touring this February,
playing 5 dates across both North and South islands. Joining The
GUIGUISUISU Show and its one-stringed skateboard guitar and Gameboy beats will
be Auckland garage rock rebels Black Science, guaranteeing legendary nights of
musical debauchery.
A very limited edition split cassette of GUIGUISUISUI and Black Science will
also be available at all shows.
GUIGUISUISUI will be hitting the New Zealand road for the following dates:
Wednesday 4 February - San Fran, Wellington
Friday 6 February - Space Monster, Whanganui
Saturday 7 February - Lucha Lounge, Auckland
Sunday 8 February – Under a Bridge (literally!), Tauranga
Thursday 12 February - darkroom, Christchurch
(Black Science will be playing all shows except Auckland and Christchurch)
Biography:
The GUIGUISUISUI Show combines blues, punk, rock, hip hop, noise, and 8-bit
music in a one-man 21st century medicine show, consisting of zombie bluesman,
GUIGUISUISUI, his master and tormenter King Necro, and his alter ego, the
self-absorbed rap-rock demigod Lord Kamemameha. The show comes armed with more
than a few unique twists, such as backing beats composed on a circuit bent
Gameboy or else sampled from vintage video games, The Diddly Board (King
Necro’s one-stringed skateboard guitar), and the audience inevitably being
goaded into the trio’s sinister alliance.
To date there have been numerous releases under the GUIGUISUISUI name,
including vinyl, tapes, CDs, and zines. The show has toured relentlessly since
its beginnings in 2012, with gigs in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan,
Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and the UK. With a work ethic second to none
The GUIGUISUISUI show has criss-crossed DIY touring circuits over and over,
playing makeshift venues in the smallest backwater towns to premier clubs in
the biggest cities, racking up over 100 shows in 2014 alone.
