Mothra releases debut Music Video

From Mothra:
Here it is, our debut music video for ‘The Beginning’. This clip was shot in 4 different countries by our good friend Shaun Leyden. You can check out more of his epic work at mintamatics.com. The track was mixed by Aaron Harris, a member of one of our favourite and most inspiring bands ISIS. We would like to extend an enormous hand of gratitude to both Shaun and Aaron for their exceptional work. We can’t thank you guys enough.

Cheers also to: Rob Christie, Tom Anderson, Lance Powell, Rhamsey, Joost, Jamie Whitehouse, Andy Lagan, Billy Goddard, Luke Bradshaw, Mark Howden, and everyone else who helped make this happen.

Some scenes may disturb, viewer discretion is advised.

Mothra, Roache, Brigada at Thirsty Dog, April 7th.

April 7th at the Thirsty Dog

Stick around Auckland this Easter and treat yourself to something far better than what the easter bunny has to offer. A blistering live set from Mothra at the Thirsty Dog on K Rd with support from Roache and a debut set from Brigada.

Mothra's sound draws from the alternative, progressive and post metal genres, mixing ambience and atmosphere with massive low tuned riffs and odd tunings. Mothra combine experimental ideas with conventional catchy song writing, forged into a unique sound and journey of their own. There is something very special about to be released, and it may even be out before this gig.

Roache describe themselves as 'Post Motown Gangsta Core' and cite influences such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Parkway Drive, Eminem, John Butler Trio, Dr. Dre, and Rage Against The Machine. And they play naked.

Not to be missed is a debut set from a band called Brigada. These guys cite none other than Black Flag as a major influence, so expect a raw brand of hardcore punk from these fellas.

Only $10 on the door, merch will be available. First band on around 9.

Mothra, NZ's version of themselves

Mere minutes ago I received an email with song attached from Mothra with the comment suggesting that there's more to come including a video. The track I have been blessed with is "The Beginning" and Aaron Harris of Isis fame mixed it.
If you're quick off the mark, you'll be able to catch me blast the track on tonight's (Feb 27th) hardfastheavy show or the podcast that follows.

I recommend you keep an eye on the links below, to keep ahead of the crowd so that you too can get hold of some wicked Mothra.

What better way to spend the night before Waitangi?
Two bands that I keep on hearing about from the south of the south Is, playing with the awesomeness that is Mothra and Arc of Ascent (who's 2010 album got in some top music countdown in the papers at the end of 2010).
