Messed!Up
Formed in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 2003, Die! Die! Die! have spent more than two decades carving out a reputation as one of Aotearoa’s most uncompromising alternative rock bands. Blending classic post-punk, noise rock, garage punk and melodic indie influences, the trio are known for their rowdy live performances and restless, high-energy sound.
Originally featuring Andrew Wilson, Michael Prain and Lachlan Anderson, the band quickly attracted international attention with their self-titled debut album in 2005. Subsequent releases, including Promises, Promises (2007), Form (2009) and Harmony (2011), further established their reputation for combining raw intensity with inventive songwriting.
Their music has taken them well beyond New Zealand, earning them a dedicated international following and opportunities to tour alongside some of the most respected names in alternative music. After periods of inactivity and lineup changes, Die! Die! Die! have continued to return with the same fierce determination that made them such an exciting proposition in the first place.
Now, the New Zealand noise-rock veterans are heading back on stage for a special homecoming show alongside fellow Auckland indie rock favourites Office Dog. Expect a chaotic night when these two generations of New Zealand’s underground music scene share the stage at Double Whammy in Auckland this December.
