Bang Bang Eche

BBE_photocredit_DoranGildMost teenagers in an unsigned band will never get to do even a small fraction of what Bang Bang Eche has already done with just a self-released EP and a combustible live show. As busy as they’ve been, these young New Zealanders still found the time to complete their second release, the four-song Sonic Death Cuntttt EP.

Coming from a town so remote that tours of Antarctica leave from it, these Kiwi teens have gladly spent most of their career away from home. This highly driven band has circumnavigated the world twice in the last year, supporting their self-titled, self-released, debut EP. Bang Bang Eche’s unrelenting ambition is most evident in a live show that has decimated parties in underground bunkers, warehouses and outdoor festivals around the globe.

Frontman and vocalist Zach Doney, whose typical performance involves the launching of his small body across obstacles and crowds, is the catalyst for such a brilliant live show. His rapid delivery and havoc-wrecking gesticulation often finds its way into the audience either by free will or force. Behind the attention whore of a lead singer is the true mastermind behind the group; calmly ruling from afar, bassist T’Nealle Worsley is a living lesson in efficiency. As an acclaimed “blogguer” and subtle fashionista, T’Nealle’s artistic genius has lead the New Zealand press to pronounce her as “the nation’s answer to Karen O.” Guitarist Charlie Ryder, a precociously private person and botanical genius, flails through songs with the gifted grace of a five-fingered hummingbird often swapping instruments midway through a song without ever missing a beat. But it’s the constant four-over-four that fuels the band, driven by former radio personality James Sullivan, who randomly finds himself disrobed halfway through a set yet never remembers how it happened.

The Sonic Death Cuntttt EP, a collection of songs written on tour between 2008 and 2009, transforms the brutality of the quartet’s live show into an orgasm’s worth of audio goodness. Building on the success of their debut release, this new EP’s lead song, “Fist Full Of Dollars,” was immediately hailed as Song Of The Day by both NME.com and Seattle’s legendary KEXP before it was even released. This follows the self-titled EP having “4 To The Floor” debut at No. 1 on the US commercial alternative specialty show chart at the end of 2008 and break the Top 50 on CMJ’s college radio chart. Closer to home, the band has been consistently championed by Australia’s national Triple J radio station and enjoyed several No. 1 songs on New Zealand radio.

Bang Bang Eche will be touring worldwide to support the Sonic Death Cuntttt EP starting with New York City’s CMJ Music Marathon in October.
