Menzies

"A ripple of sonic energy" Under The Radar, 2024 “Wow, you guys gave me so much energy” - MJ Lenderman, 2024 Menzies, Te Whanganui-a-Tara four-piece, have gained a name for arresting live performances. Dancing from weighty post-punk to heart-felt ruminations on childhood, their songs express the wildly relatable. “Turned up at the Karori swimming pool, and knew I shouldn’t have turned up”, and “It cost me twenty bucks, you see, to buy my favourite DVD, don’t judge me, it was Notting Hill” It’s no surprise the band hits so hard with the experience and passion of the musicians involved - magnetic front-man Chris Brown (Friendlies), Miles Sutton (Welcomer, Prizegiving), Nikita Piper (Friendlies, Androgynous Lemon), and Doug Kelly (Doledrums, Girlboss). Working with Oliver Devlin (Hans Pucket) mixing the EP, and Vivek Gabriel, Gabriel Audio mastering.
