Bang Bang Eche were never going to let being from New Zealand’s South Island impede their success. The distance covered by their tour bus is as impressive as their blistering impassioned live shows. Their unique brand of thrilling dance-punk has already caused a sensation within the suitably awestruck audiences of the United States’ CMJ Music Marathon and SXSW Festival, as well as the UK’s Great Escape and Sound City.
Returning to Europe this summer and picking up where they left off from the winter tour (24 live dates in 25 days through UK, France, Germany) their schedule this time is equally mammoth, taking in Europe’s top festivals including Solidays in France, Pohoda in Slovakia (on stage just before Crystal Castles), and Frequency in Austria (sharing the top end of the stage with The Drums and Mariana & The Diamonds). The band also hit the UK end of July for an 18 date UK tour, which includes a headline at Club NME Koko, London.
