Decision Process 8 years anniversary plus shows coming up with Hötchiwitch.

We released Decision Process 8 years ago today. Time flies. The next album and e.p are ready to be mastered, thanks for waiting so long. We open for Peter Mengede’s Hötchiwitch in April. Mengede needs no introduction, he founded Helmet, played on Meantime and Strap it On, and then formed Handsome with Tom Capone from Quicksand. We grew up listening to the Handsome album on repeat as well as Helmet. Hugh will be playing second guitar for Hotchiwitch as well as opening with Mothra. Make sure you grab a ticket here

Quicksand this Saturday

Hard to believe we’re opening for Quicksand this Saturday at Mothership in Auckland. One of our favourite bands of all time and biggest influences. Ridiculous.

Quicksand support

The good news is we’ll be opening for Quicksand on December 16 at Auckland’s Mothership. One of our favourite bands of all time and biggest influences. If you don’t know this band, shame on you. This is their first appearance in NZ. Get a ticket here Thanks to Valhalla Touring and Waxstar Touring for making it happen.

The bad news is, due to an injury we have had to pull out of the show in Whangarei this weekend with Shepherd’s Reign. We were looking forward to playing this and hope to get the opportunity again. Make sure you check it out if you’re in the area tomorrow night at the Butter Factory in Whangarei. Killer acts Black Gravel City and Swizljager are also on the bill. All the details here

– Mothra

First appearance since Deftones was cancelled.

A bit slow to update this blog, but we’re playing this Friday August 11 at Big Fan in Morningside Auckland. This is our first live show for 2 and a half years, but rehearsals and songwriting have never stopped.

Also on the bill are Silcrow (playing their final show) Animalhead, Brackenwood Coven, and the Boondocks. We’re on at 9.45. Tickets and info available here. We have a large amount of new material to release soon.

Cheers,

Mothra.

Fresh Tees

A small run of fresh tees have been printed on high quality AS staple tees. Have a geez here if you’re keen.

They turned out pretty mint.

MOTHRA LIVES

Well, it’s been a while since we’ve posted here. It may seem as though we’ve been quiet, but we’ve also been busy getting a whole lot of new material ready to release. Here’s an interview Hugh did recently. More updates coming soon!
