Die! Die! Die! prep tour

By Alex Young on February 27th, 2008

New Zealand’s Die! Die! Die! aren’t really dying. In fact, the noise pop trio, who have been compared to the likes of the Pixies and Sonic Youth, are alive and well, and are set to embark on a full U.S. tour beginning in March. (Dates after the jump…)

The trio embodies a vitality that has long since made its way into the recent rock and punk circuits. There isn’t a rehearsed set of messages or stage antics, no glitter, no make-up, no phony sass. Cutting to the quick, Die! Die! Die!’s songs and live delivery are nothing short of awe-inspiring. These three are on the forefront of a new revolution without the aid of gimmicks or pretense.

They are set to appear at the Fanatic Showcase during SXSW. Their debut album, Promises, Promises, was released earlier this month.
