Made In China & Osmium Announce Tour
12.1.11
[press release]
This summer, two of the Deep South's finest rock acts join forces to bring seismic grooves to the nation. Dunedin heavy rock juggernauts Made In China and Invercargill riff merchants Osmium are playing ten shows across NZ throughout January and February 2011.
Both bands have multiple NZ tours under their belts, as well as forthcoming albums: this is set to be a groove fest of unthinkable proportions.
Made In China have been making a name for themselves throughout NZ as a ferocious live act with an unbelievable energy & pulverizing groove. The band released their Heavy Low EP in 2008, and the Letters to the Dead Sampler in 2009. They toured the South Island supporting NZ metal heavyweights Sinate in 2008, and the length and breadth of the country twice in 2009.
Osmium, much like Made In China, have been slaving under the way of the groove since 2006. After releasing their debut album in 2008, the band hit the road for a 13-date national tour taking them from Invercargill to Auckland and back. The band combine well-crafted melodies with grinding riffs and poignant lyrics - this is a band that will redefine your definition of 'heavy.'
"The band itself is the perfect example of how a four-piece should work, as a unit, like very few other bands have ever done" - Big Red 2009
Whether you enjoy music labeled as pop, rock, grunge or metal, do not miss this tour. These bands almost defy definition, but one thing is for sure, you will not forget these shows.
