“…a moody, industrial and rather ominous slice of warped, face-melting electronica.” – TROY MUTTON, PILERATS

Melbourne’s CABLE TIES are stoked to announce headline Aotearoa New Zealand shows this February and March, and drop a blistering remix of ‘Choking to Choose’, hand flipped and crafted by audio-visual two piece, and musical geniuses, friendships. Having recently been announced as part of the first lineup on annual music festival and conference The Great Escape in Brighton (UK) in May, these Aotearoa New Zealand shows will be Cable Ties’ first time over the pond, with local supports to be announced.
‘Choking to Choose’ (friendships Remix) is five minutes of high hats and thumping bass, chopped up vocals and rolling synths, pieced together in a way that could soundtrack your time travel as easily as it could a recurring dream. Visually it tells a similar story – psychedelic imagery of the band’s distorted faces showered with floating particles. ‘Choking to Choose’ (friendships Remix) is available to watch now and will be available on all streaming services this Friday December 14.

Cable Ties – Jenny McKechnie (vocals, guitar), Nick Brown (bass), and Shauna Boyle (drums) – are three friends who summon a rhythmic tide, with McKechnie delivering anthems that turn your latent anxieties into a rallying cry. Having spent the better part of the last 12 touring their debut self-titled album and ‘Tell Them Where To Go’/ ‘Choking To Choose’ 7”, the former of which has been included in JUNKEE’s Best Songs of 2018, Cable Ties are armed with a fistful of new songs and are ready to share them, and their electrifying live show, with the world.
Before they head off to Aotearoa New Zealand, Cable Ties will show us a bloody great time as they shout-out their community at The Cable Ties Ball – a ritzed-up, glam and glittery night taking over both stages at The Corner Hotel on Saturday February 23. For its second year they’re bringing along some of their most spectacular friends, including friendships, HITS, P-UniQue, Moody Beaches and more. Community is worth celebrating, and how better to do it than celebrating with style.
