The Schizophonics Announce New Zealand Summer Tour

One of the most dynamite rock 'n' roll combos to have ever visited our shores, San Diego icons The Schizophonics are returning to Aotearoa this summer for their fourth official tour down under, blasting venues nationwide in January 2025. With three studio albums out so far including 2022's Hoof It, husband and wife guitar / drums power couple Mr Pat and Mrs Lety Beers, with recent recruit on bass Sarah Linton, will be invoking the raw riff-powered, amp-frying, body-energising spirit of garage punk-rawk itself, live for you in Tamaki Makaurau, Leigh, Whitianga, Ōtautahi (all-ages) and Tauranga. Anyone who's witnessed The Schizophonics doing their thing on-stage and off knows they are a must-see, so start your 2025 right and set your inner animal free — brought to you by Clean Dirt...

Press release:

For those of new to the part machine that is the Schizophonics on their fourth visit to these shores ...... Ridiculously high level ADHD James Brown/MC5 inspired, Detroit drenched, shredding rok & ass shimmying roll. Relentless, endless boogie from all points of the decade it thrived in, proto-punk prancing, Rolling Stones guitar chop, Sonics sixties garage thump & wail, soloing histrionics yanked from 70s stadiums & beamed in & on to caverns, sidewalks & clubs. Made up of husband & wife, Mr Pat & Mrs Lety Beers, a guitar & drums team based outta San Diego, California, with bassist Sarah Linton have been on a mission of ruthless live touring since their last visit to Aotearoa in early 2023 ... since then they have opened for the Chats, Cosmic Psychos, Me First & The Gimmie Gimmies, L7 on their respective US tours.

And that doesn't even mention that Pat Beers spends most of the set levitating ..... and is he playing one handed ? Is there another guitarist ? Did he really just stand on his head??? See for yourself .....
