Los Angeles
punk rockers letlive. announce that they will wrap up their Australasian tour with a long-awaited New
Zealand show at Auckland’s Kings Arms on January 18.
Following the release of their fourth studio album If I’m The Devil… in June, the band will
undertake extensive American and European tours throughout the second half of
2016 before bringing their unforgettable live show down under to kick off the
new year.
Tickets go on sale at midday this Friday, August 26.
My Live Nation members can be among the first to access tickets during the
exclusive pre-sale commencing 2pm Wednesday, August 24. For complete tour and
ticketing details, visit: livenation.co.nz.
With a sound that Afropunk described as "the first truly unique
post-hardcore band in years," letlive. is a band that reflects humanity as
a collection of emotional, frontal-lobe beings, and uses their ambition to
ignite the same passion with their fans.
Since their beginning in 2002, letlive. has been a band that is not easy to
categorize. In fact, letlive. refuse to be constrained by the ideas of a
"scene" – whether it is punk, metal, indie, rap. However, If I’m the Devil…necessitates a genre, one could posit revolutionary counterculture music - a
punk rock Run the Jewels, a more emotional Rage Against the Machine and Public
Enemy with more inclusive politics.
The album is the follow up to letlive.'s critically-lauded 2013 release, The Blackest Beautiful.
The time spent between that and 2016 are defined by the band's engagement with
the issues of race and police violence that have rocked the United States.
With those ideas, letlive. is a band that aims to bring political messages into
rock music again. “Our music is very left-leaning. It’s very clear I have a
large disdain for the way a lot of systems are working and our society’s
incapability to unravel," front man Jason Butler states.
Jason Butler (vocals), RJ Johnson (bass), Jeff Sahyoun (guitar) and Loniel
Robinson (drums) recorded If
I'm The Devil… at Kingsize Studiolabs in Los Angeles, with Kiwi
co-producer Justyn Pilbrow, best known on these shores for his years with
Elemeno P.
“Over the past 14 years, L.A.'s letlive. have become known for
their rabble-rousing, socially conscious post-hardcore and chaotic,
high-energy live shows.”
