New York-based New Zealand groove-pop “band of brothers” Balu Brigada return home for their first headline tour since 2018; a reboot of their sold-out 2020 show 'Bop Fiasco.'
“It's been WAY too long since we've been home and we wanna come back with a bang!’ say Balu Brigada ‘This particular fiasco is 3 years in the making and that means there's 3 years of fresh bops to make for a thrasher of a night in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. See u there!”'
After signing with Atlantic Records in 2022 the duo relocated to New York City where they released their 'I Should Be Home' EP. Applauded by outlets such as Rolling Stone, i-D, and People Magazine, “soaring falsetto choruses, synth hooks and an irresistible, underlying groove' have consistently impressed media, fans, and industry figures and have since earned themselves the #1 fastest breaking NZ/AUS artist spot as well a coveted position in the Spotify USA Viral 50.
Balu Brigada’s hotly anticipated new EP 'Find A Way' will be out July 28th.
The duo have spent the past few years fine tuning their skills in every aspect of their output. Hailed by i-D as “an actual band of brothers making tunes stacked with hooks that’ll run circles around your brain for days.”
The return of Bop Fiasco (Volume 2) will feature a variety of special guests and promises to be a thrasher of a night!
