KNIVES AT NOON – At it Again!

Four-piece Dunedin band, Knives At Noon are back on the road again, after their successful New Zealand Tour with Charlie Ash. This time they are supporting top NZ band, The Checks, and Christchurch upstarts Bang! Bang! Eche! on the ‘Get Off the Stage NZ Tour’.

Christchurch: October 8th @ Als Bar

While not touring, KaN will be in the studio recording their 3rd EP, and shooting a music video, both which are planned for release in late October.

Bio: Knives at Noon are gaining a reputation for abrasive Electro-rock with a high-intensity live performance. Since re-forming their live line-up in July 2009 after a 12 month break (as the synth player was based in PNG working on his PhD) they have been busy gigging with great kiwi indie bands such as The Tutts, The Checks, Clap Clap Riot! and Charlie Ash, and have upcoming shows with Luger Boa, Head Like A Hole and So So Modern. While in Auckland recently, they also managed to squeeze in an afternoon in the Red Bull Live studio doing a live-to-air.

In late 2008 they completed their well reviewed 2nd EP, which was mixed by Dale Cotton (HDU, Dimmer and Die! Die! Die), and released a video for the track ‘Daisychain’. They have also received wide media coverage in New Zealand and Australia on their use of digital technology to distribute music and to facilitate their 'remix project' via Myspace.
