Music News - Groove Masters Hobo Magic Get Blazed and Confused in New Zealand with National Tour
29 November 2017 - 0 Comments
What many are calling Australia's best underground Rock act, Sunshine Coast trio Hobo Magic have just announced their first international tour, heading over the ditch to drop a bunch of riffs/dates on New Zealand this December.
Hobo Magic has been firing recently on the back of new album The World Today as premiered by Heavy Mag, receiving critical acclaim across the world, with the band soon to be signed to a European label and to announce a second international tour in the next month. Aus mega station Triple J featured the album's title track last month on The Racket.
Hobo Magic drummer Luke Hanson says of the upcoming NZ jaunt "New Zealand will be our first international tour and we couldn't be more stoked! Not only is it an incredibly beautiful country but there are heaps of epic stoner rock bands spawning from the depths of Middle Earth. We're lucky enough to be sharing the road with NZ's own ginger riff lords Bloodnut. Let the Fellowship of the Riff begin!"
With the recent release of their debut album (LISTEN), Hobo Magic have spent the majority of 2017 touring around Australia, clocking up serious k's on the back of two single releases, including festival appearances at Mojo Burning, Dead of Winter, Cherryfest, Brewtality, Rise of the Riff and more.
The acclaimed act has supported such International heavyweight bands such as Earthless, Elder, Lecherous Gaze, Red Fang, Kadavar, Radio Moscow and The Sword, also capturing the recent attention of LA superstars Nick Oliveri (QOTSA/Kyuss) and Brant Bjork (Kyuss). Most recently the band was announced as the only support to SLEEP (USA) at The Triffid in Brisbane January 18.
If you have your cuz crew sorted in New Zealand, make sure you let them know of Hobo's arrival early December! Land of the long white cloud is in for some groovy times.
Given the nod by NZ stoner festival 'Blazed and Confused', the band will travel across both North and South Island for eight shows including slots in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and more, to be supported nationally by local stoner/ginger kings Bloodnut.

"Really allow you to get inside the music and shake your skull to oblivion." Psych in Sight Music
