15 January 2015 - 0 Comments

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.
