Sea mouse was just fantastic the drummer was one of the best I have ever heard he put everything into his drumming. Race where great such great guitar and the vocal range of lead guy was fantastic. The middle band in the line where best forgotten. Just shocking I hated listening to them

About Racing
Auckland-based four piece, Racing, take rock and roll and inject it with a chemical haze so potent the listener is left both pleased and punished. Once likened to “the thoughts of a crocodile in flood season”, the band crafts a swirling sea of groove and hypnosis into rock anthems drenched in weird tropical dance music.
Racing is made up of long-time collaborators Ed Knowles (vocals) and Sven Pettersen (guitar); two crucial parts to the colossus that was The Checks. The two time Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards winners (Best Rock Album) from Auckland, made their way into the pages of NME while sharing the stage with Oasis, REM, The Hives, AC/DC, The Killers and Muse on different tours. Knowles and Pettersen are joined by two other heavy hitters from the Kiwi alternative scene - Daniel Barrett (Bass) and Izaak Houston (Drums).
From the darkness of the late night dive bars where they cut their teeth, to playing Summer festivals across New Zealand, the four members of Racing have come together to create a massive sound that challenges anything from their collective musical past.
