Cool show at the Thirsty Dog the other night, thanks to everyone who came out to see us and of course Brigada and Roache for playing with us. Killer bands. The video we’ve been going on about would’ve been out by now but a minor hiccup of hard drive theft means it will take a little longer. We’ll be shooting some footage for video number 2 today, and we have another show lined up next month at Whammy Bar. More mixing for the album from our friend Aaron Harris will also commence in May!

Mothra band update.
Wicked show last night. Great turn out, one of our best yet. A big thanks to Rule of Thieves, UU. and Big Punch for delivering killer sets. And of course everyone who attended and made it happen. More dates will no doubt emerge soon. Our visuals guy ‘Shaun Leyden’ from mintamatics is putting the final touches on the video. Album progress is ticking along slowly but surely. We also have a new run of hand printed merch in stock, head over to…

Mothra debut video/single nearly complete. Shows coming up.
Our debut video and single are almost complete, and our full length debut is well under way. A massive thanks to our friend Aaron Harris in LA for mixing the track and doing such an amazing job. It sounds huge. This band would certainly not have the same direction or perhaps even exist without the music Aaron has created with the legendary ISIS, and we are honoured to be working with him.
An enormous hand of gratitude also goes out to our long time friend and associate Shaun Leyden for his time and effort on the video. We couldn’t be happier with what Shaun has done, to say this guy has talent with visual art and film is a massive understatement. Shaun is a kiwi who currently resides in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. His film company goes under the name of Mintamatics. The video and track will be posted here as soon as they are ready.
In the meantime we have a show coming up in 3 weeks at the Kings Arms Tavern here in Auckland, with our friends Rule of Thieves, one of our favourite NZ bands. Also on the bill are the killer acts Big Punch and UU. Here is the event link http://www.facebook.com/events/144811718968339/ and a rather flattering poster shot next to SOAD/DEP.
