Two psych-rock bands from Nipaluna/Hobart and Ōtautahi/Chch are teaming up for a touring exchange!03 faves S.E.I.S.M.I.C went over to Hobart in May to perform at Altar Bar with Tasmanian locals Spooky Eyes, and in July the two bands will reunite in Ōtautahi/Christchurch to perform together at Darkroom.
Joined by support acts Bin Day and Luna and the Aether, this is going to be a stacked night up of psych rock, punk and goth sound!
Acid rock trio Spooky Eyes have been making waves across the ditch, paying shows across Tasmania and mainland Australia alongside a stacked list of emerging and big name talent, including support slots for the likes of Jack White and Foo Fighters
Psych rock squadron S.E.I.S.M.I.C. will be representing Ōtautahi, with a sound that weaves together elements of psychedelia and garage with a wall of fuzz.
Presales $15 + booking fee from UTR

About the Band Swap:
This project is a collaboration between members of the music communities in Nipaluna and Ōtautahi. Participating bands pick each other up from the airport, open their homes to each other, take each other sight seeing, share backline, and more importantly share all the local insider knowledge on what makes the music community in their city so damn cool! International touring is expensive and a lot of administrative and logistical work goes into making it happen! By linking up with locals on the ground at each end, the project helps to share the load and puts international touring in reach for emerging, DIY bands.
This year's tour is the pilot of what could hopefully become an ongoing, annual reciprocal touring exchange between the two cities. The pilot received a small funding contribution towards the costs associated with these shows, but with flights and, well, everything else being so expensive these days the bands would love your support by buying a ticket and showing some love for this idea. If this show goes well then hopefully the touring exchange can become an ongoing, annual project, taking more bands between the two cities. This year's Band Swap is all about Psych Rock, but if the programme gets off the ground and becomes an ongoing thing, bands of any genre are welcome to express interest and apply for the trip in future!
