Mint Chicks Tour and SXSW Update
The last week has seen The Mint Chicks visit three countries, travel twenty thousand kilometres and play seven shows in Hamilton, Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Austin, Texas.
Austin of course, is home to the South By South West Festival, and The Mint Chicks show at the NZ party on Wednesday night (Austin time) saw a scorching Mint Chicks set (remembering this is day eight of a tour and the boys have passed through five time zones and five airports and played with two of the wildest Japanese bands around - The King Brothers and Guitar Wolf, so playing after The Have and before Pluto at the kiwi soiree is nothing!!!)...Kody climbed to the top of the party tent and swung upside down mid set - falling to the ground and ripping up the floor. He then proceeded to baptise anyone who had dared enter the tent with his water bottle.
The band has one more show in Austin before they fly to New York for a further four US shows.
The Mint Chicks would now like to confirm the following NZ dates around the release of their debut album, F**k The Golden Youth. Tickets from usual places.
