DARTZ Unleash Single ‘No Dogs At This Party’ + Announce Album Release Tour

Red hot new additions to the legendary Flying Nun Records roster, DARTZ are launching their self-explanatory debut album The Band from Wellington, New Zealand this coming November. The party-punk team of Danz, Rollyz, Crispy and Clark Mathews are revving up their famous DARTZ-mobile for a just-announced five gig summer release tour — including a smattering of shows supporting Australian shed-rockers The Chats — heralded by brand new anthem ‘No Dogs At This Party’.

Lead singer Danz lyrically illustrates a tragic late night social gathering where there are simply "No dogs at the party / no pups at the soirée / no hounds at the happening / no good boys at the gathering," and even worse "goddamn James has got a guitar and he's playing Wonderwall." Thankfully the rest of the gang keep our spirits high, busting out the catchy goods DARTZ-style and nailing the landing with the poochie punchline "and that's ruff." Hit play below, order their Christmas stocking filler vinyl LP / compact disc HERE and don't miss DARTZ in action at the following dates...

"With ‘No Dogs’, I really wanted to take that very classic DARTZ song setting of a house party and invert it - tell a story about not feeling like you want to party or even be there at all. It was really spun together from a bunch of specific experiences that I’ve been through so I’ve always been really stoked that people love it live and have told me they really relate to the lyrics.” — Danz
