2011 underway for Mothra (Auckland Progressive rock/metal)
It was good to slam out the set again the other night and get 2011 underway. A very limited first run of T shirts will be available very soon. We also have a very promising vocalist coming to practice this week, the guy has some serious chops, so hopefully it works out. We’ve trialed alot of singers over the last 2 years, this guy could be our man. Click tracks and E.P preparation is coming along slowly but surely, but with the vocal potential now on the cards things might take on a whole new form.
More shows will be announced shortly.
Peace.

2010 : Auckland progressive metal, a productive year
It’s been a productive year for Mothra in 2010. We have played a whole heap of shows around Auckland, refined our music to a whole new level, and are thoroughly looking foward to
our upcoming E.P release. We have trialed a number of vocalists but no one has quite fit what we are looking for in terms of range and dynamics etc, but that’s ok. We enjoy playing our songs as they are and alot of people have said they don’t want to hear vocals over them. It is by no means easy music to write to, but finding the right vocalist for atleast some of the material is always on the cards. The E.P will be instrumental, but who knows maybe we will have some vocals further down the track. Go to the live footage page to check some tracks out if you haven’t already. Tee shirts and a new batch of stickers will be ready before christmas. Here is a new track from Hugh’s sideproject Scapeghost that may cross over into the Mothra live performance at some stage. Final Detachment
