Cigarettes After Sex Heading To Auckland In January

US ambient-pop group Cigarettes After Sex have announced they'll be bringing their moody and wistful sounds to Auckland for a headline show at the Powerstation in January. The news follows their inclusion on the lineup for New Years festival Rhythm & Alps as announced last month. Touring down-under for the first time following the release of their acclaimed debut self-titled album earlier this year, the show will be a summer treat for fans of slow-burning balladry and reverb drenched guitars.  Here are the show details.

Press release:

American dream-pop sensations CIGARETTES AFTER SEX have confirmed an Auckland headline show at The Powerstation on January 8.

The New York based ambient indie collective, led by songwriter Greg Gonzalez, are on a world tour in support of their self-titled, debut album released in June.

They’ve been called “one of the slowest ever overnight web sensations” since forming in 2008 but the group’s most popular tracks of recent times have collected more than 50 million YouTube views, with fans swooning at their slow burning romanticism and Gonzalez’ ethereal vocals.

It’s an atmospheric and intimate sound lending itself poetically to a live setting, resulting in Cigarettes After Sex becoming a band that have their audiences swaying with every note.

Noted by The Guardian as potentially the best band to come out of the dream-pop revival party, performances from this melancholic group sell out on the regular. Don’t miss your chance to experience Cigarettes After Sex live in the flesh.

Tickets go on sale at midday Friday, September 29.

My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the exclusive pre-sale beginning at 10am this Thursday, September 28. For complete tour and ticketing information, visit: livenation.co.nz.
