Hans Pucket At The Stomach
8:00PM / All-Ages / $30.00
Pōneke / Tāmaki Makaurau pop-rock quartet Hans Pucket announce their 'Confidently Test Out New Material’ tour for the f̶o̶u̶r̶t̶h̶ fifth time.
Support acts TBA!
These shows promise all the wonders of Hans Pucket’s four-piece lineup. Callum Passells will bring his saxophone and keyboard wizardry to the group. There will be music from their upcoming album; there will be cool new merch; there will be a moment in the set where Jono Nott plays a guitar solo and everyone claps; Oli will forget some lyrics and try to ask Callum Devlin what they are mid-song.
The band is eager to reacquaint themselves with audiences up and down the country, and introduce new songs with their trademark confidence and pep. They aren’t pushing the boat out too far for this one, they’re just getting back out there and playing their thrilling live set, to a good, keen crowd.
Oliver Devlin: "The good news in pushing the tour back is that we got to add shows in Dunedin and Palmerston North. It's been such a long time coming - I have a feeling these will be very exciting and special shows for us!”
Callum Devlin: "I’m honestly shocked this is happening. Thrilled even. This was originally our October 2021 tour, and I can think of no better time to do it than July 2022."
Bio:
Hans Pucket brings an energetic and eclectic set of tunes, featuring three-part harmonies, solid power-pop riffs and real lyrics. Formed by twin brothers Oli and Callum Devlin, drummer Jono Nott (ONONO, Broods) the band grew out of a love for classic 60s pop, the earnest melodies of musical theatre, and the solid grooves of 70s disco. In 2018 they delivered their debut “Eczema”- a collection of addictive, cleverly crafted and heartfelt jams. Recently expanded to four members with the multi-instrumental talents of Callum Passells, the band is in the final stages of recording their second full-length album.
If you prefer your guitar pop with a wry and personal spin on the human condition, you could do worse than listen to Hans Pucket” - (Nick Bollinger, The Sampler RNZ)
