Too funky for folk and too folky for funk — that’s Sonic Delusion’s happy, funky, and groovy indie pop. To celebrate the release of his new single “Smoooth” (out Friday 7th November 2025), the vibrant Swiss-Kiwi performer is hitting the road for a six-show tour across the North Island.Armed with his trusty loop pedal and an array of instruments, Sonic Delusion layers beats, basslines, and melodies into a boogielicious live performance “bursting with more funk than folk can handle.” With over 1500 shows played across Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, and Germany, André Manella has built a reputation for turning every gig into a feel-good party — “funny, fresh and funky… a welcome breath of entertainment, joy, fun and smiles” (Graham Reid – Elsewhere).
