Hans Pucket Announce 'No Drama' Album Release Shows
Nobody could accuse Hans Pucket of jumping the gun with No Drama, the avidly awaited first new album from twin brothers Oliver and Callum Devlin (Sports Team, Dateline), Jono Nott (Onono, Broods) and Callum Passells since 2018's debut long player Eczema won our hearts. Lovingly crafted in the studio with Jonathan Pearce of The Beths, Hans Pucket's sophomore record will be out on 4th November via influential US imprint Carpark Records, celebrated with hometown release parties in Pōneke and Tāmaki Makaurau — as members of the group are based in both cities! Back in Aotearoa following a run of Australian dates playing with buds The Beths, Hans Pucket's Te Ika-a-Māui events will be all ages affairs, featuring special guests to be revealed soon.
While there's been some eye-rolling online chatter about an Aotearoa equivalent to the infamous Blur versus Oasis 'battle of Britpop', due to Hans Pucket's new record releasing the same date as DARTZ's debut long player, the indisputable fact is there will be No Drama on 4th November. Scope out the mini-tour details below, and whet your appetite with the Hans Pucket Midnight Karaoke Challenge at Tāmaki's The Others Way festival on 22nd October...
“Our motto in Hans Pucket is work hard play hard, and boy have we been working hard. Now is the time for us to celebrate this incredible album the only way we know how… a 2 night all-ages mini tour party weekend!” — Callum Devlin
“I can’t wait to get this album out and for everyone to hear it. I’m really proud of these songs, it will be a huge thrill to finally get to play them all live!” — Oliver Devlin
