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

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.

Mothraband : Helmet show debrief and happy holidays.

Happy Christmas and holidays to all. Kick back, grab yourself a cold beverage and relax. We had a great time opening for Helmet here in Auckland the other night, absolutely killer set from them (as expected), great bunch of guys. We were pleased with how our set panned out too, getting the visuals happening was a big plus. After a small break we’ll be back into more mixing of the album, we should have a few tasters coming your way fairly soon. In the meantime, here’s a clip of 3107 from the show and a few photos. Enjoy.

Helmet support, album update.

We are pleased to announce we will be opening for the legendary ‘Helmet’ next Saturday December 21st at Auckland’s Galatos. This band is a major influence for us, we grew up listening to albums like Meantime and Betty and it is a real privilege to be sharing the stage with them next weekend. Get your tickets here. In other news the mixing stage of our debut album is well under way, we will be aiming for a release early next year if all goes to plan. Cheers, Mothra.
