A big thanks to all who came and checked out our set at the Kings Arms the other night. Thanks to Resporn for booking the show and also to Legion for playing aswell. Both killer bands. We’ll have a few clips from the show to put up soon thanks to our man Jamie Whitehouse. Guitar tracking has finally commenced after waitng for ripped wrist ligaments to heal up, more tracking will begin in 2 weeks time. We are chipping away at it any chance we get. Next gig will be at the Masonic Tavern in Devonport, Sep 2nd. Our old local stomping ground! There’s a few nice handprinted tshirts left, and one hoodie, get in while you can. Mothra

Mothra band recording progress
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 progress 2011 (Auckland experimental rock)
Well, it’s been a while since we made a post, but rest assured Mothra has been very busy with recording preparation, video preparation, and deciding on who to mix the record. Someone we hold in very high regard will be working with us, so we are supremely stoked. We haven’t been gigging much of late, one of the band members is having a baby any day now, so we’ll let him get used to his new lifestyle for a’ little while’ before booking anymore shows. We’ve also been working with a new vocalist, and making use of some free recording sessions, testing the waters for sound quality etc. Everything seems to be falling into place. A video/single will be unleashed pretty soon hopefully, followed by the e.p. T
hanks for your patience everyone, it will be worth the wait.

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.
