The Red Eyes w/ DJ Captain Nemo - Homecoming Tour
at Flow, 266 Victoria Street, Hamilton
Heading over the ditch for the first time, The Red Eyes NZ 'Homecoming' Tour is a return to their roots for singer El Witeri and guitarist/producer King Charlie, and the rest of the guys just really want to hang out at waterfalls, play to awesome NZ audiences and drive up and down the countryside in a tour van.
With guest DJ Captain Nemo
Kicking off in Queenstown on Thu 26 Jan, with shows in Wellington, at the inaugural Winchfest in New Plymouth, in Auckland and more, this is your chance to see The Red Eyes do what they do best all over New Zealand for an audience that is sure to fall in love with their unique blend of dub/reggae if they haven’t already seen them in Oz, Vanuatu or New Caledonia!
The Red Eyes ‘NZ Homecoming Tour’ heralds the prodigal return of NZ’s long lost sons El Witeri and Damien Charles. Born and bred in Auckland, the two musicians’ musical roots were developed touring around NZ throughout the 90’s before they re-met in OZ and honed their alternative Dub/Reggae style for an appreciative Australian audience. Over 10 years their fan base has grown exponentially, seeing them play major festivals throughout the pacific and Australia including the 2011 Australian Raggamuffin tour with Jimmy Cliff and Mary J Blige.
Established in 2002 The Red Eyes’ successful 2nd album ‘Red Army’ was a finalist for Best Blues and Roots Album at the Australian Independent Record Label Awards and lead singer El Witeri was a finalist for APRA songwriter of the year. 2007 release ‘Rudeworld’ and their two EP’s ‘Highplace’ and Prolific/My Kingdom’ have collectively sold over 12,000 copies worldwide.
Exploding onto the NZ turf with a string of club dates through Jan and Feb 2012, The Red Eyes are touring their new track Circles, the first single release from their anticipated third album.
Tickets from Eventfinder (see link above) ON SALE now.
