NEW ZEALAND’S ELECTRIC WIRE HUSTLE ANNOUNCE EUROPEAN TOUR
Developing their own sound and twist on modern hip hop, psychedelic and soul, Electric Wire Hustle’s unique sound challenges genre boundaries and preconceptions. The music of New Zealand’s EWH, reaches forward while referencing key points of music’s past. Thick drums and percussion layered with synth lines, hints of the Fender Rhodes and nylon stringed guitars have your neck snapping while your ear cranes to the evocative vocals of Mara TK.
Since forming in 2007 EWH have experienced an outstanding response to their music. Their live show has already seen them perform all over the world. In particular being noted as the “CMJ Highlight” by The Revivalist / Okayplayer after their performance at the New York festival in 2010 as part of their debut US tour.
Their debut self-titled album, released internationally on BBE Records and Every Waking Hour in New Zealand, received love from many of the world’s top DJs and selectors including BBC Radio One’s Benji B who selected the track ‘Chaser’ as a top track in 2009. Gilles Peterson selected the track ‘They Don’t Want’ to be the opening track on his infamous Brownswood Compilation – Bubblers 5.
Now on the brink of their 3rd European tour and eagerly anticipating a follow up US tour later this year, the band are excited to get on the road again and are pleased to announce a series of European dates, including UK festivals Glastonbury & The Big Chill as well as shows in Poland, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland & Sweden to their itinerary.
