Recording is ticking along nicely when time is found amongst all band members’ busy schedules. Guitars will be tracked soon with this highly respected instrument, and more work on the video will commence next month in Belgium. We also have a show coming up at the Kings Arms June 17, seems like ages since we played!

Mothra – ‘Awake the Machine’ first ever performance (Auckland experimental metal)
Here’s some footage taken from our show at the Kings Arms the other week. It’s a new track (hence a bit sketchy in parts) that was a long time in the making, ‘Awake the Machine’. It will be recorded somewhere down the track but not on the first release, there are others waiting in line. We are on a roll now with the recording prep, drum tracking will commence soon.

モスラ MOTHRA update (experimental psychedelic rock/metal)
A big thanks to everyone who attended the show last night, great turnout for a Thursday night. We got through the new track relatively unscathed, feels good to have broken that one in as it was a long time in the making. A preview of our upcoming music video has been sent through to us from our man Shaun Leyden in Europe from ‘Mintamatics’, and its looking f&%$#g awesome. We should have some more shows
lined up soon. Doing a spot of demo recording next week, also a new potential vocalist in the works. But we’ll keep that quiet for now shall we. Cheers Mothra

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.

Recording
We are preparing to record our debut E.P. From a pool of 20 songs written and rehearsed over the last 2 years we will probably choose 5. So a full length is also more or less written. At this stage we are getting the click track tempos sorted. Drum recording will commence mid Jan 2011 most likely at York St Studios Auckland.
