Die! Die! Die! release video for ‘450’ from new 7″ out now. Aotearoa tour this October/November. Tickets on sale now from Banished Music
T?maki Makaurau-based noise-punks Die! Die! Die! are celebrating the release of their new 7″, midway through a NZ tour, with a brand new video clip to second track ‘450′.
The ‘I Seek Misery / 450’ 7″ is the second release from the band since they reformed their original line-up of guitarist/vocalist Andrew Wilson, drummer Michael Prain and newly returned bassist Lachlan Anderson.
On last year’s ‘O’ the band harkened back to their noisiest, most frenetic punk roots. On the new tracks Die! Die! Die! keep up the high-energy noise but with melodic and shoegaze flourishes.
The trio recorded both new tracks in a single session at Roundhead Studios in Auckland, with both tracks engineered and mixed by Steven Marr and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control).
The band have four dates left of their Aotearoa tour in support of the 7”
06/11 Dunedin, Pioneer Hall
07/11 Christchurch, Dark Room
13/11 Whanganui, Secret Show
14/11 Wellington, Moon

The long-running core team of guitarist / singer Andrew Wilson and the furious drumming of Michael Prain have been going strong since their formation as Die! Die! Die! back in 2003. In 2018, the band welcomed bassist Lachlan Anderson back into the band full time.
Since recording their debut album with Steve Albini (Shellac, Nirvana, PJ Harvey) in Chicago in 2005, Die! Die! Die! have worked with producers including Shayne Carter, Nick Roughan (The Skeptics), Chris Townend (Violent Femmes), and have written and recorded albums in New York, Dunedin, London and rural France.
Plans for the release of album number seven are underway.
Their indispensable collection of records, and their intense and unflinching live show, continue to drive their connection with audiences across the globe. Both are a telling reminder of why Die! Die! Die! are one of the most enduring and unapologetic bands to ever emerge out of Aotearoa.
