JUST ANNOUNCED!!
Friday August 31st - Auckland - The Others Way
Festival
Soaked Oats are a young four-piece band hailing from
Dunedin, New Zealand who have been described as "a southern stew of Kurt
Vile and Mac DeMarco with a good shake of Kevin Morby".
Coming to notoriety for writing songs about stoned fruit (
Avocado
Aficionado,
I'm a Peach), 60+ good-time live shows in a year including
a blinder set at Rhythm
& Vines 2017/18, and releasing three EP's in their
short 18 month existence.
The band is made up of lead vocalist Oscar
Mein who scribes the clever, witty and thoughtful observations
on life. And fruit. Guitarist, Henry Francis and his amazing
pedal-board is on the noble path to tone mastery making the instrument sound
like it was made by unicorns. Rhythm section Max Holmes (bass) and Conor Feehly (drums)
provide the backbone, the funk and keep the party going.
For the uninitiated, we
invite you to dip your ears and eyes into the chilly southern land of Soaked Oats and their
music video for
Gum-15 and their live session for
Perfect
Song in the (apparently) steamy hallowed halls of Roundhead Studios.
Joining the band in Auckland are
Daffodils are pulling together
nostalgic new wave sounds with anthemic tracks you can absolutely get down and
dance to! With three singles under their belt that capture their dark dramatic
live sound and high energy performances, they’re in the studio working towards
bigger releases later in the year.
https://www.facebook.com/daffodilsnz/Supporting on the DJ decks will be the incredible A.C.
Freazy (the moniker of Auckland based multi-instrumentalist
Alex Freer (
Tiny Ruins,
Carnivorous Plant Society,
Artisan Guns,
The Eversons).
