NZ Shapeshifter Live At The Forum

Following the success of their 2013 release ‘Delta’, elemental soul outfit NZ Shapeshifter will be performing a series of UK dates this spring, culminating in a show at The Forum in London on 12th April 2014.

NZ Shapeshifter boast a stadium-sized sound which adds layers of depth-charge bass, jazz, funk, rock and electronica to barrelling breakbeats, capable of morphing from rolling drum ‘n’ bass to pummelling guitar-driven jams to horizon-shifting electronic soundscapes.

‘Delta’, their fifth and most recent album, is their most fearless release yet – embodying the spirit of experimentation in its innovative all-analogue instrumentation of vintage synths, horns and guitar. These are showcased beautifully in the sublime opening chords of ‘Arcadia’, through to the junglist jabs of ‘Shadowboxer’ and elevated trance progressions of ‘Diamond Trade’. Having morphed through elastic electronic textures to bedrocks of soul and rave, their sound is constantly evolving to motivate dancefloors worldwide.

The Forum, a former cinema situated in Kentish Town, is one of London’s major live entertainment venues, as well as a Grade II listed building that makes it one of the UK’s best-preserved original theatres.

The venue’s rich history boasts legendary past stage alumni such as The Velvet Underground and the Pixies, as well as more recent acts including The Libertines, Chase & Status and the Gorillaz, making it the ideal platform for NZ Shapeshifter to unleash their multifaceted brand of music.

With record-breaking tours in their home country of New Zealand, scene-setting appearances at festivals like Glastonbury, The Big Chill and Parklife, sold-out European performances, four EPs and five LPs (three with platinum sales) under their belts, this multi-award-winning electronic outfit packs a serious punch - and the London leg of their tour promises to deliver more of their trademark high energy.

Tickets can be purchased online at mamacolive.com/theforum. Doors open at 7pm.
