theSlacks BIG AROHA single & video release tour
BIG AROHA
single & video release
tour
‘The catchy bilingual [Big Aroha] is a feel good number pumped full of messages of unity, love, and community’ – stuff.co.nz
theSlacks have never been a band to shy away from a good time and it’s with this intent that they announce there forthcoming tour to promote the single and video release of Big Aroha.
The track
evokes the true spirit of kiwiana, is peppered with Te Reo
and celebrates strong community ties. Big Aroha reflects the
bands deep roots within Taranaki and wider NZ through the
video for the single. We all remember 4Square stores, and
hanging out on a summers day waiting for an ice cream., and
it is here, set in Moturoa, New Plymouth that the rolling
vibe originates….bringing you a laid back, feel good,
folk-rock-ska combo, set to reinforce Aotearoa as a Slice of
Heaven.
theSlacks (Scott Armstrong, Mark Armstrong, Blake Gibson & Zane Greig) have continued their DIY ethos since their formation in 1999, born of a desire not to join the gainfully employed, and have released two albums ‘Suppressed Inventions’ and ‘Welcome to the Rolling Vibe’ which they will revisit during their shows.
‘…being slack is about making time for all the important things in your life, cos everyone is so busy’ -theSlacks
It
is with this ‘rolling vibe’ that the party is willing to
go anywhere, and you can check out theSlacks on tour with
