The Twitch
“What The F**k Is Going On?” Nationwide Tour

Look out. The Twitch are coming to your town!

This dirty rock’n’roll band will be sucking bars dry, destroying motels and getting your daughters pregnant all over the country on their first headline tour of New Zealand in late April, early May 2007.

The Twitch are: Josh (drums), Jesus (guitar) and Fleur (vocals/bass).

Mixing a no holds barred stage show with ultra catchy riffs and tunes, The Twitch are a band that will leave you begging for more.

Gigs with Hello Sailor, The D4, The Sneaks, Slave Trader, The Have, Goodnight Nurse, We Dunno, and Terminus have built The Twitch a loyal following.

In 2005 The Twitch won the New Zealand final of World Battle of the Bands, and took out the award for best song writing, and Fleur won most passionate performer. They flew to Hong Kong for the world final and came 2nd!

The Twitch had their first north and south island New Zealand tour in March / April 2006 with American girl band and world Final winner of the World Battle Of The Bands 2005 - Jaggedy Ann.

Since 2003 the band have continued to play extensively, have released two DIY albums The Rangi Album, and Live at MAINZ, which are out of press. Their first Studio album What The F**k Is Going On? has was released on their own label Rangi Records in June 2006.
