BONJAH Come To London
BONJAH are due to hit English shores for the first time as the band announce two London shows for 2012 – Nambucca on June 15th & Underbelly on June 16th.
The year started with a bang as the band saw in 2012 at Pyramid Rock Festival, joined the East Coast leg of the Big Day Out Australia and sold out their national summer tour.
Multi award nominated BONJAH formed in 2006 when the now much-loved four piece moved from New Zealand to Melbourne. Since then BONJAH’s powerhouse performances have earned them a reputation for being one of the most talked about bands in Australia. With a handful of EP’s and 2 albums under their belt BONJAH have sold over 20,000 units, performed at many of Australia’s premiere music festivals and relished in a flurry of street buzz earning them numerous nods from the industry including nominations for APRA’s blues n roots album of the year.
Don’t miss your chance to see why Rolling Stone Magazine nominated BONJAH for the ‘Artist to Watch’ award in 2011. Their latest record ‘Go Go Chaos’ is out now on iTunes (worldwide).
“Glenn Mossop’s rich vocals bring to mind Jeff Buckley’s sad timbre, giving the music an edginess some of BONJAH’s contemporaries lack.” – Rolling Stone Magazine
“Go Go Chaos is evidence that the band has discovered a sound, and it is a sound that they are darn good at creating. Singer Glenn Mossop’s aching vocals are reminiscent of those of The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach.” – The 59th Sound
“New Zealand exports BONJAH have got all the makings to be one of the next big ‘Australian’ bands. Well-written songs, good-looking guys, and enough triple j airplay. There’s no doubting that they deserve the large amounts of praise that they have been receiving of late.” – Tone Deaf
“Go Go Chaos is an honest record with some incredibly inspiring moments of beautiful song writing and delivery. It’s time for that band that everyone’s talking about to break out. An explosive force in Australian music. Unstoppable.” – The Drum Media
