South Summit: Lost In Space

Exciting West Australian indie rock band, South Summit, are kicking off their three New Zealand shows in support of their recently-released TALES OF THE YETI EP tonight! This is the bands first time performing in Aotearoa after having traversed more of Australia than most over the past 18 months.

The three shows take in Auckland (November 17), Christchurch (November 18) and Wellington (November 19). There are still tickets available,
so get in quick
HERE!

To prepare you for these epic shows, we wanted to know what inspires the bands music. So we asked them if they got lost in space with a record player, what are 5 albums they couldn't live without?

Album #1


Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Josh: “This record holds a special place in my music collection. The album's impeccable production and mixing enhance its captivating sound. Tracks like 'Charlie,' 'Desecration Smile,' and 'We Believe' showcase the band's unique blend of rock and funk that I absolutely love. This record feels like a comprehensive snapshot of what the Chili Peppers represent, making it a top contender for one of my all-time favorites.”

Album #2

Graduation - Kanye West

Nemo: "I feel like Kanyes album 'Graduation' fits the vibe when trapped in space alone, he ventures towards a more atmospheric soundscape that explores rock elements. The cover art says it all and the music as a whole, definitely takes you into the stratosphere."

Album #3

Humbug - Arctic Monkeys


Fynn: “This album and all the other Arctic Monkeys songs were pretty much my entire catalog of music through childhood. I loved the story telling creative lyrics that Alex Turner would write. It also has some importance in my journey into music, listening to these songs was the first time i could pick out the different instruments and appreciate the writing of music. I don’t necessarily listen to them as much anymore, but it’s still the band that comes on and i know every word to every song.”

Album #4

Con Todo El Mundo - Khruangbin


Nathan: “I think Khruangbin would be the perfect band to listen to when you’re stranded in space. ‘Con Todo El Mundo’ would be my choice of album, as it’s got that feel-good mood to keep you going when you’re all alone floating away.”

Album #5

Uprising - Bob Marley

Zaya: “If I was stuck in space, my album of choice would be Bob Marleys uprising. It would be something about listening to Bob Marley while staring at the globe from a distance. The pinnacle of one of earths best creations.”
