(Stunt) New Zealand dance punks Bang Bang Eche will be kicking off their North American tour this October with Har Mar Superstar following a plethora of performance at this year's annual CMJ Music Marathon. The band of teenagers will be over in the US to promote their highly anticipated new EP, Sonic Death Cuntttt, available worldwide this November and the follow up to their 2008 self-titled debut EP.
The four members – Zach Doney (vocals), Charlie Ryder (guitar and synths), James Sullivan (drums) and T'Nealle Worsley (guitar and bass) – recorded the new album over a span of three months in their hometown of Christchurch after two tours literally circling the globe. It's this type of ambition that propels their audiences to participate, willingly or not, in their high-energy shows. Known for their brutal live performances, Bang Bang Eche has cut their teeth from small dives to premier outdoor festivals such as Australia's Big Day Out and The Great Escape in Brighton.
Come see their teardrop-shaped Vox bass get passed around and bodies flail as Bang Bang Eche obliterates North America.
