Powder Chutes Announce 'Vendetta' Single Release Shows w/ Red Weekend
Rising force in amp-frying southern rock, Wānaka's Powder Chutes are toasting their first single of 2025 'Vendetta' with a just-announced pair of headline summer gigs in Ōtepoti and Waihōpai / Invercargill, joined for both shows by Ōtautahi's Red Weekend. Special guests for no less than than US superstars Highly Suspect's arena tour of Aotearoa late last year, Powder Chutes' new song ramps up from pensive, tightly coiled guitar / drums / vocals (reminding these ears of Placebo) to an explosive inferno of riffs and hammering percussion.
Directed by Joe Murdie, the widescreen, golden-tinted accompanying clip amplifies further their "theme of generational feud instigated by manipulative forefathers for their own end." Take it all in below, catch them at the following dates, head over to their site HERE for even more gigs on the horizon, and keep on the lookout for a debut album from Powder Chutes in the coming months...
