Search For Yeti - Dark So Soon Aotearoa Tour

Te Whanganui-a-Tara based indie rockers Search For Yeti arrive in Otautahi/Christchurch for what will be the final show of their 8-date national tour in support of their new album 'Dark So Soon'.

Drawing influences from indie rock, britpop, folk and new-wave with an emphasis on hooks and melodies, the album shows a diverse range which has been praised as “a brilliant debut” (Chris Philpott), “warm, expansive and guaranteed to elicit a genuine emotional reaction” (13th Floor), “the songs stick with you, dreamlike in their form” (music.net.nz), and “hard rock, indie rock, power pop, atmospheric, it comfortably straddles them all” (Elsewhere). 'Dark So Soon' is available on both vinyl and CD at selected independent record stores across the country, as well as on all streaming services.

Joining Search For Yeti for the Otautahi show will be the self-described sad songs quartet Model Home and the post-punk stylings of HOIHOI.

Model Home are an emo-rock four piece, who released their debut album '...And Nobody Made A Sound' in 2023. The album is chock full of catchy songs, and reached #8 on the NZ albums chart. The album was praised by critics, with UTR calling it 'an endearingly emotive joyride of tumbling guitars and bittersweet...reflections'.

HOIHOI are a noise/post punk band influenced by local legends such as DIE! DIE! DIE! and also overseas legends such as Fugazi, Unwound and Pixies. HOIHOI combine loud guitars with vocals in both Te Reo Māori and English.
