Yurt Party Announce Release Tour For New Single 'The Gambler'

Ōtautahi's Yurt Party put a groove-heavy spin on fate's cosmic wheel with their brand new all-instrumental single 'The Gambler', out just in time for their performance to a huge hometown crowd at Electric Avenue Festival ("Australasia’s largest music festival") this coming Saturday. That's just an opening outburst of activity from the genre-melting Balkan / Latin / dub party of adventurers, who've announced an extensive run of headline dates to move crowds throughout Aotearoa in March and April. Infused with intrigue, mysterious atmospherics and a hefty dose of horn-infused funk, 'The Gambler' (clocking in at exactly 4:20) stands head and shoulders next to their infectious 2024 afro-funk jammer 'Fela'. Find out why Yurt Party are one of the most in-demand live bands in the land right now — hit play on 'The Gambler' and join them sizzling up the dancefloor on their single release tour this autumn...
