A rare visit by a music act from New Zealand’s south island comes in the form of Dunedin’s Die! Die! Die! Fronted by Andrew Wilson, the trio had musical fairy dust sprinkled on them when Steve Albini produced their self-titled debut album in 2005. Their Japan debut seems them flogging their new, third effort Form (out on storied Dunedin punk label Flying Nun), which sets Wilson’s dark, incisive lyrics against a wall of post-punk/shoegaze sound. Their quickie Tokyo tour sees them playing three gigs in four nights alongside a slew of domestic bands and DJs.
