Powder Chutes are a rapidly rising, young rock band from W\u0101naka, New Zealand, known for their incendiary live performances and fiercely original sound which blends modern grunge, punk and hard rock drawing comparisons to bands such as Tool, Highly Suspect, and Soundgarden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverybody wake up\u2026 these boys have got the sauce!\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Johnny Stevens, Highly Suspect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band are taking time out from crafting their sophomore album with legendary Producer Dave Rhodes (Blindspott, Devilskin), for a national tour and are joined by The Boondocks, the formidable two-piece riff rock band known as “New Zealand’s Loudest Little Band,” who\u2019ve quickly established themselves in the local rock scene with their high-energy, DIY approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite frothing the same crowds, and featuring on many of the same radio playlists and media platforms, the two bands haven\u2019t yet played together, so this has been a long while coming, and is not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than \u2018Support bands\u2019 the tour will feature a plethora of exciting Special Guest slots from incredible bands such as Auckland\u2019s Coast Arcade, The Tron\u2019s Haast Hunter, The Splinters, F\u00fcbar!, Superficial, Ragweed and Courtnay & the Unholy Reverie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
