Die!Die!Die! Announce New Zealand July Tour
22.06.09
[press release]
Having just returned from their White Horse single release tour in the UK, Die!Die!Die! are set to hit the road again, this time back home in New Zealand.
Playing five dates throughout the country, Die!Die!Die! will be heading to Christchurch, Methven, Dunedin, Wellington and Hamilton before heading back into the studio for record a new album due to be released later this year.
While in the UK recently, the band appeared at festivals such as the Stag and Dagger, Great Escape and the Camden Crawl in London. NME Magazine noted Die!Die!Die! as the highlight of Great Escape, while fans had to queue around the block for over half an hour to catch a glimpse of the band headline the Artrocker stage at the Camden Crawl. London fans also had a chance to catch the group at Cargo if they could grab tickets before they sold out!
On their way to perform in Newcastle, an unfortunate misunderstanding lead to the band's tour van being seized by police in Leeds. A plea for help was posted by the band on the internet - fans came through, and not only did the band make it to the gig and get their van returned, but the story was picked up by NME.com, and lead to the Die!Die!Die! single 'Sideways' getting radio play on BBC2 after the intriguing news story broke.
