One of New Zealand’s finest avant-garde punk bands, Die! Die! Die!, will perform at The Railway Inn on Sunday, October 19, as part of the Winchester Live festival.
Winchester Live is a new week-long festival running from October 13–19. It is organised by Placid Piranha Promotions, run by Winchester-based promoter Rob Ball, and aims to promote the area of Winchester and Hampshire to the music industry.
Lauded for their blistering live shows, the Die!Die!Die! trio have just released their second album, Promises Promises, on SAF Records.
It will be followed new single Sideways Here We Come and was preceded by a run of live European dates, including London club nights.
The band, who originate from Dunedin in New Zealand, are Andrew Wilson, Lochlan Anderson and Michael Prian. They have been together for four years.
Andrew, speaking from Italy before the Winchester show, said: “We all came from a punk back ground and we don’t mind sleeping on floors! If we were back in New Zealand, we would be doing something similar, touring and gigging.”
