We will be opening for Jakob as they embark on an NZ tour for their new album Sines. It has been 8 years since the release of their critically acclaimed masterpiece Solace, and the long awaited follow up is nothing short of amazing. You can stream it live here, and purchase the album here. We will be supporting them in Auckland on November the 14th at Galatos, and the 15th at Leigh Sawmill. We are also gearing up to master our debut album…it’s coming.

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.
