Mothra debut video/single nearly complete. Shows coming up.

Our debut video and single are almost complete, and our full length debut is well under way. A massive thanks to our friend Aaron Harris in LA for mixing the track and doing such an amazing  job. It sounds huge. This band would certainly not  have the same direction or perhaps even exist without the music Aaron has created with the legendary ISIS, and we are honoured to be working with him.

An enormous hand of gratitude also goes out to our long time friend and associate Shaun Leyden for his time and effort on the video. We couldn’t be happier with what Shaun has done, to say this guy has talent with visual art and film is a massive understatement.  Shaun is a kiwi who currently resides in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. His film company goes under the name of Mintamatics.  The video and track will be posted here as soon as they are ready.

In the meantime we have a show coming up in 3 weeks at the Kings Arms Tavern here in Auckland, with our friends Rule of Thieves, one of our favourite NZ bands. Also on the bill are the killer acts  Big Punch and UU.  Here is the event link http://www.facebook.com/events/144811718968339/ and a rather flattering poster shot next to SOAD/DEP.

Mothra band video progress/update.

Here’s a few shots from our filming session the other day for our video.  It went well and the acoustics weren’t bad either. Recording is coming along nicely believe it or not. If only we could do this fulltime instead of our day jobs, then we’d have 3 albums released by now. Tshirts are sold out for now (except girls ones) but we will have more stock in a few days. Merry christmas everyone, see you in 2012. Mothra.

Mothra band : Support for Russian Circles.

We are pleased to announce we have the privilege to open for Russian Circles, who will be hitting the shores of Aotearoa in a couple of weeks, all the way from Chicago. If you don’t know this band you should, they are amazing. If their last masterpiece Geneva (2009) is anything to go by, then their next album ‘Empros’ scheduled for release in October will push the parameters of experimental instrumental music even further.
