Eyegum Scenic Tours #2 Announced With Mirror Ritual And Porpoise

Eyegum Music Collective is proud to announce the next iteration of its semi–regular tour series ‘Eyegum Scenic Tours’. As part of the tour Eyegum will be showcasing the vast array of local talent the collective works with throughout Aotearoa.

To kick off this August/September, Eyegum is pleased to announce Mirror Ritual and Porpoise as the next two bands to hit the road.

Eyegum Music Collective Co-Curator Joel Cosgrove says, “We have been working with Mirror Ritual for a number of years now, they’re criminally underrated, so it’s nice to be able to take them out to a wider audience” he adds “Porpoise are a great new band out of Ōtepoti/Dunedin, they’re the band all the touring bands are booking at the moment, give them a year or two and they’ll be on everyone’s radar.”

Mirror Ritual, formerly known as Transistor are a Poneke based kaleidoscopic dream-fuzz band, who’ve been steadily releasing tunes, all the while honing their epic live show. Professing a "newfound love for synthesisers", in light of this Mirror Ritual have added Mia Kelly into their lineup on synth/guitar/vocals, to further flesh out their live sound.

Porpoise are a new band hailing from Ōtepoti, comprising bass, drums, guitar, cello and vocals, Porpoise are big dramatic songs that build and swell till they reach their climatic crescendos, post-rock at times, always coming back to a killer hook. Eyegum is very excited to have them on board.
