Music News - Viet Cong to make New Zealand debut
22 October 2015 - 0 Comments
“Their brand of post-punk is industrial, dark, and distinctly
contemporary. Rather than just reproduce music from the heyday, they mix
together a smart array of influences from Krautrock to noise rock and at times
even a touch of prog.” Sound of Boston reviews Viet
Cong live.
Drunken Piano is proud to present the New Zealand debut of Canadian post-punk
prophets, Viet Congat the Kings Arms on Thursday 21 January.
Viet Cong have emerged as one of 2015's most acclaimed and essential new bands.
Since the release of their brilliant self-titled debut LP in January, the
four-piece have been criss-crossing all corners of the world, playing countless
sold-out shows to rabid fans across North America and Europe, and garnering
piles of enthusiastic acclaim for their tight, angular, and catchy brand of
post-punk.
Pitchfork awarded Viet Cong's debut Best New Music status for it's "heavy,
ingenious contraptions" whilst Exclaim concluded that its "frenzied,
sharp-turn transitions are what make this band feel so vital, so alive and so
different." The Guardian called it "an ambitious and rewarding
debut" whilst Spin described it as" inexhaustibly fun to listen
to".
This is a band that promises an epic show. Be there at the Kings Arms to be among
the few Kiwis who’ll get to see them the first time they make it to New Zealand
soil.
