The Have are heading overseas, but before they embarking on this international adventure they are playing three final NZ shows.
The first is at the Kings Arms in Auckland on Saturday May 3rd with guests White Birds and Lemons + The Braxton Hicks . This will be followed by a Music Month show at Galatos on the 22nd of May with a handful of great bands. Their final show is in Wellington on the 31st of May at Bodega with Tommy Ill and Shootout.
'It would be great to play for all those people out there that we have gotten to know and love, the bands we have toured/played with and those that get off on a good night out one last time (for a wee while anyway). ' Blair – The Have
'So we will see you all at one or all of these shows and give you a night you will not remember in the morning.' Brodie – The Have
The Have began their career at High School and have achieved a lot in the short time they have been together. They have had 2 songs licensed for worldwide releases of EA Games (Rugby 2005 and Burnout 2007), plus have had songs licensed for movies (The Devil Dared Me To), TV advts (X Box, Canterbury for Rugby World Cup, Super 12's in Australia). Plus they have been accepted into SXSW 3 times! From SXSW they gained critical acclaim (Music Week Top 10 SXSW picks) and a US producer - Barrett Jones (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, The Melvins) who produced their critically acclaimed debut album 'Back to the Burning Wreck'
" It's been a long time since I had seen a great rock and roll show……(and) I would be just as quick to proclaim them rock and roll as hell….. It's a Texas rock and roll tradition to spit beer on bands we dig to show appreciation; this was the only show during SXSW where I had to wipe my camera off" US writer Audrey Edwards on SXSW 2004
