Asta Rangu & Males Split Single Release Tour
Tour Information
Dunedin indie rock bands Asta Rangu and Males are teaming up for a five date tour across Aotearoa in early February 2021, to celebrate the release of their split single I DREAM / CLEAR LAKE, released on the 29th of January 2021.
Asta Rangu, led by Dunedin musician Richard Ley-Hamilton, will headline the tour.
Asta Rangu came to life with the release of the 2017 EP Plasticine (recorded by Tex Houston in Dunedin), an early release on Dunedin independent label trace/untrace records. The EP is both melodic and angular, with hook-laden wordplay set against swirling arrangements. Bandcamp called it an excellent debut . a fluid rock ‘n roll record full of tightly wound guitars and soaring vocal melodies, while Elsewhere magazine concluded plasticine ignited something in me that cannot be explained through mere description, and must be experienced first-hand.

Gig Information
Grawlixes are a Wellington-by-way-of-Dunedin indie-folk band intent on inserting themselves into your brain with their intelligent, infectious songs about relationships and not being invited to parties. Continuing the great lineage of artists who bring sadness to their sprightly melodies, Grawlixes’s music often deals in the melancholy with self-deprecating honesty and beautiful boy-girl harmonies, sung by co-founders Robin Cederman (Tahu & the Takahes) and Penelope Esplin (French for Rabbits, Moonlander, Lake South).
Grawlixes have recently expanded into a 5 piece, featuring the unimitable talents of Alex Vaastra (Emily Fairlight, Julian Temple Band) on violin, Emma Hattaway (The Cosmonauts) on bass and Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa (Stellarize, French for Rabbits) on drums, and are gearing up for the release of their second album Love you to Death in 2021.
