The Grogans to embark on ‘Stagger’ album release tour in New Zealand
Staggering announcements are on the cards as Naarm’s The Grogans reveal their plan to roll out their new album, ‘Stagger’, across New Zealand. The band has been hard at work both in the studio and on tour, perfecting their latest material. The album was completed amidst a massive US tour and was officially released last Friday. In light of this, The Grogans are gearing up for an extensive New Zealand tour set for this September, hitting major cities such as Ōtautahi, Tāhuna, Te Whanganui-a-Tara, and Tāmaki Makaurau.
Since their formation in 2016, The Grogans, consisting of Quin Grunden, Angus Vasic, and Jordan Lewis, have been a powerhouse of creativity. Their fifth album, ‘Stagger’, showcases a wide range of musical styles and influences, making each track a unique experience. From the rough and raw ‘Oh Boy’ to the heartfelt ‘In My Heart’ and the lively ‘Roundabout’, the album promises a diverse sonic journey. A highlight is the energetic punk-pop track ‘Social Cue’, which is sure to get fans excited for the upcoming tour.
The recording process for ‘Stagger’ was unconventional, with the band mixing the album on the go during their extensive US tour. Quin Grunden shared that the unique experience of mixing while on the road added a different dimension to the album. The group had to make do with the available resources, often mixing in green rooms and on tour buses. This dynamic approach resulted in each track having its own personality, contributing to the overall staggered feel of the album.
The Grogans are set to kick off their tour in Christchurch on September 3rd, followed by stops in Queenstown, Wellington, and Auckland. Tickets for their shows will be available for purchase starting on May 28th via moshtix.co.nz. Fans can expect an electrifying performance as The Grogans bring their new tracks to life on stage. Don’t miss the chance to catch them live and experience the magic of ‘Stagger’ firsthand.
The band is thrilled to unleash their latest creation and can’t wait to share it with audiences across New Zealand. With a lineup of diverse sounds and intricate musical layers, ‘Stagger’ promises to be a unique addition to The Grogans’ discography. As they prepare to embark on their tour, the band is gearing up to bring their music to fans both at home and abroad, with plans for shows in Australia, Los Angeles, and New York. Get ready to be staggered by the musical talent of The Grogans as they hit the road in support of their latest album.
