HEAVY
Heavy is an infectiously energetic rap duo. After being together for little
more than a year they have already made a huge impact in there home-town of
Auckland playing 2015’s Chronophonium, Laneway & Splore Festivals. Last May
Heavy released their debut album titled Lock In and went on tour of the North
Island promoting the album with huge success. Most recently Heavy were apart of
The Others Way festival which showcased a range of alternative musical talent
from New Zealand, supported Earl Sweatshirt and Jurassic 5 when they were down
under.

YES!
The multi-dimensional Ratatat are back cruising the superway and finally
throttle the overdue absence as this way they now come.
MAGNIFIQUE!
The long awaited album Magnifique comes after time off drifting through the
wilderness and thoroughly drives the chrome into cream.
Following up on the experimental sounds of LP3 and LP4, RATATAT return to their
core guitar-driven sound on Magnifique which was recorded over the course of
four years in various studios in different locations including Jamaica,
upstate New York, Long Island, NY and their home studio in Brooklyn. Latest
single Abrasive also features an incredible hand drawn video put together
by Evan.
“Ratatat have returned with a vengeance” exclaims Fader. Leading up to
the release of Magnifique, RATATAT played a string of shows across North
American including an appearance at Coachella. Consequence of Sound
reviewed the band’s headline show in Pomona noting “fans’ rabid reaction
thought this performance spoke volumes about the outfit’s perhaps
underrated impact and popularity… their 75-minute set was nothing less than
explosive from beginning to end."
Already announced on the 2015 Meredith Music Festival now comes the first run
of New Zealand club shows since their last visit around the 2011 Big Day
Out run. Bring on the light majestic.
Latest album Magnifique, out now on XL Recordings/Rhythmethod.
