Mermaidens
Wellington's favourite sludge rock three-piece is back on tour.
Overview
If the dark mornings, freak showers and blustery nights have had you changing your playlist from 'summer waves' to 'stoner, doom and sludge', then have no fear — Mermaidens are back on tour.
Hitting all the favourite Kiwi hotspots, the April tour celebrates the new release of the 7" split single 'You Maintain the Stain/Cut It Open'. Mermaidens have called their latest masterpiece a big, subtle middle finger to 'the man' — with confident, edgy and dominating lyrics it's not hard to listen to 'You Maintain the Stain' again and again.
Mermaidens are not just a band with off-kilter guitar lines — they also know how to merch. Providing ticket, vinyl and limited-edition tote bag bundles online, super-fans are greeted at each show with a Insta-worthy swag-bag — it's a perfect last-minute muso-friendly birthday present.
But where can I see my fave Wellington three-piece? I hear the sludgy stoner rock fans cry out. For now, 'Maintain the Stain' is only available as a pre-release. Super-fans will have to wait until Mermaidens will be start the tour in Christchurch on Friday, 5 April 2019 for the single to be fully released. The Dunedin show is the next night, and Wellington – you're up Friday, 12 April so be ready. Auckland closes the New Zealand tour on Saturday, 13 April at Neck of the Woods.
