Gizzy Punk Rock Band wooing fans here and abroad
Described by their critics as ‘infectiously fun’ and their lead singer touted as ‘magically capturing the essence of a young Johnny Rotten (Sex Pistols)’ Gisborne youngsters Sit Down in Front are preparing to release their new E.P. “Fuelling My Rage”. After notching up an enviable number of opening gigs with some of their favourite bands including Jimmy Barnes, Cold Chisel, Villainy, Ozzie rockers The Chats, Elemeno P, Skinny Hobos, Johnny Toogood, and The D4, they will be heading back to Smash Palace on Friday 21st January to play all the hits from their upcoming E.P. release (released on the same day).
Under the expert guidance of renown International producer Greg Haver these hard-working schoolboys are balancing school exams with studio time, taking every opportunity to lay down some catchy new tunes for their eagerly anticipated third major body of work.
Having already spent 9 weeks on the NZ Music Charts, they have also featured on MTV (Oz and NZ) with their music video’s Don’t Push The Button and latest single Pixie Caramel, and had air time on The RocK, Radio Hauraki and across the ditch on Triple J, Triple M, and K Rock.
This three piece is led from the front with frontman and lyrist Cory Newman, who uses a wheelchair due to his Cerebral Palsy, but whose energetic performances are enough to warm up and wow any crowd. Backed up by talented Guitarist Jackson Clarke, and multi-talented self-taught drummer Rikki Noble.
It’s hard to believe these lads are about to release their third body of work at such a tender age.
