Elemeno P announce NZ tour
/Iconic kiwi rock group, Elemeno P are excited to hit the road on their upcoming 7 date New Zealand Spring tour - their most extensive run of regional dates in over a decade! As one of Aotearoa’s quintessential rock groups, the much-loved five piece will ring in the warmer climates with fans from all across the country as they revisit the classics (and the deep cuts) for a special set of shows not to be missed. See full list of dates below.
“We haven’t played some of these towns in so long, pretty sure it’s been over a decade. Can’t wait to visit these beautiful places again. New Plymouth is where I got pregnant with my first born, Napier is where Justyn threw our guitar tech in the pool, and The Mount is where we wrote 11:57. So many memories and poignant moments,” bassist Lani Purkis reminises.
Drummer Scotty Pearson grew up in Taranaki and is looking forward to revisiting his home turf once again. “The Naki is where I learned to play the drums, joined my first band, had my first kiss and played my first show. It’s a part of who I am, Taranaki Hardcore for life!”
Lead singer David Gibson and guitarist Justyn Pilbrow have been based out of the United States for the past few years. Gibson is looking forward to bringing his newly-born son home, with wife Sarah (the reason for the band’s classic hit ‘Verona’). “He may have an American passport but he has kiwi blood and I want him to feel the wind of Wellington from a young age.”
