5 reasons to see Milky Chance live in NZ this April.

Ahead of Milky Chance’s return to New Zealand this April, we’ve decided to compile a list of reasons why you need to buy your ticket to the show before it sells out - 'cuz you don’t have much time before it’s too late and you have major regrets.

But first, here’s the official show info:

‘Making their way to Auckland this April, Milky Chance are set to play one show in the city's Powerstation on Wednesday 26th April off the back of an almost sold-out world tour prior to the release of their second full-length album, Blossom (out 17th March via Muggelig Records).
 
The German dance-folk duo, comprised of Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch, rose to international stardom with the success of their infamous debut track, ‘‘Stolen Dance" (one of the most Shazamed songs in history) in 2013. Following its release, Rehbein and Dausch took the coveted number one spot in several countries, becoming "most blogged about act" on Hype Machine, and released a subsequent number of follow-up singles including '‘Down By The River’ and ‘‘Flashed Junk Mind’, which appeared on their debut album, Sadnecessary. The duo has since embarked on multiple tours that took them across several continents, to the fields of Glastonbury, the desert of Coachella, and the stage of Lollapalooza.

With a new album on the near horizon, the pair have just shared a sleek new single called ‘‘Doing Good", which follows the December release of debut Blossom track ‘‘Cocoon".
 
Across Blossom, we’re introduced to a vigorous, secure Milky Chance. With that extended period of adventure and personal development now built into their roots, there’s a renewed sense of depth to the band’s serenely alluring jams. It’s a sound that pops and bursts into life, but running through its bedrock is a sense of learning and refection. Like their previous album Sadnecessary, there’s no doubt that Blossom will enter the ears of the music world with an unrelenting force - and their hearts. Ultimately though, this is a record that belongs to Milky Chance.”

And here are five reasons why we’re excited to see them live in April:

#1. Their song ‘Stolen Dance’ is one of the most Shazam-ed songs of all time - receiving over 10 million Shazams, placing it in the Top 20 of the most Shazam-ed songs ever.

Listen to the 2013 song below:

#2. The performance will no doubt bring performances of songs from their upcoming new album, ‘Blossom’, which is set for release on March 17th.

Listen to new song ‘Ego’ below:

#3. The duo recently took to 1Live Krone to perform their latest single ‘Cocoon’, a song about, “Trying to find a place where you can be yourself and not be distracted; to slow down and reflect on yourself."

Watch the performance:

#4. Their live show is said to be energetic yet mellow, with a recent review saying: “Their mellow beats and effortless, often deliciously lazy tunes fill the venue with a refreshing, confident ease requiring no superficial gimmicks to impress.”

#5. They can perform acoustic too! Watch their performance of 'Down By The River' below:
