After a
stand of three Auckland concerts that sold out in minutes in
January, Connan Mockasin is hitting the road across Aotearoa for the
first time in eight years this summer for a select run of
headline shows.
Returning to the limelight with the 2016 release of the Soft Hair project with
Sam Dust, Mockasin has spent the majority of ‘17 working on fresh
material, emerging from the studio to work with James Blake, MGMT
and appearing in John Cale’s hand selected Velvet
Underground tribute band, and a critically lauded set at Full Moon
Festival ‘17.
Mysterious rumours are a constant with Connan Mockasin. Unconfirmed
reports from the field involve an album from “Jassbusters” and a
moving image/sound work known only as “Bostyn 'n Dobsyn”.
Splitting his time between Los Angeles, Paris, and New York, this is a rare
opportunity to see hometown hero Connan Mockasin under the Antipodean
moon and get a sneak peek of what he’s been working
on. Mockasin is delighted to invite the enigmatic Kody Nielson
(The Mint Chicks/Opossom/UMO/Silicon) to join him in Wellington and Auckland,
and Los Angeles' underground session legend John Caroll Kirby in
the South Island & The Mockasin
Family Band in the Hawke's Bay.
