Sell your soul for Rock n Roll on Highway One Fifty Six
In late March Auckland band, ‘These Automatic Changers’ administered a shot of adrenaline into the veins of New Zealand music, with the release of their latest single, ‘One Fifty Six’. In June the band are embarking on a mission to take that energy on the road with their One Fifty Six Tour.
The four-piece power house has been working hard to revive rock-n-roll since 2010 with their unique blend of Delta blues, Zeppelin riffs and 70’s soul. NZ Musician Magazine says, “Solomon Coles’ vocals are reminiscent of Dan Auerbach, yet heavier than The Black Keys produce.” The latest single heralds the coming of the band’s debut album set for release sometime this summer.
As members of now defunct band Payola, Solomon and fellow band member Lee Catlin are no strangers to the New Zealand music scene. “We loved our time with Payola but we feel These Automatic Changers has taken our music to the next level,” says Lee. “The feedback we’re getting from the people who’ve experienced us live has been phenomenal.”
And in June that experience is coming to a town near you. Kicking off in Auckland on 8th June at The Lucha Lounge, These Automatic Changers will be setting out to sell their souls “just for rock and roll”.
These Automatic Changers “One Fifty Six Tour” dates:
The Lucha Lounge Auckland Friday 8th
Mangawhai Tavern Saturday June 9th
Krazy Jacks Tauranga Friday June 15th
Raglan Yot Club Saturday June 16th
MARCH 2012
In the year of the apocalypse, only one band will deliver you unto safety, a higher ground. A rock solid foundation of mammoth sized riffs, raw and unfetted energy, unmatched and outgunning all who choose to get in their way.
This is a righteous racket, stripping things to the primal oil. A blood infusion of electrified delta blues, Zeppelin riffage and 70's soul, These Automatic Changes return to the stage for their first show of 2012. Consider yourself warned...
They are the new heavyweight champions of Rock 'n' Roll and they bring their new show to you on March 8th @ The Kings Arms.

Southern Collective Music presents two shows of quality kiwi rock 'n roll in Wellington. Local band Supermodel (with Auckland's These Automatic Changers in support) will raise a righteous racket between them as they gather together for a collective hum of amplifiers on high, tons of feedback, sweat on guitars and well-dressed frontmen for two shows only.
Supermodel's debut album To The Mountains is out now and debuted at number one on the NZ Rock Chart. They have just completed a national tour in support. Auckland's These Automatic Changers have just released the new single Out On A Wire from their follow-up EP These Automatic Changers 2.
Both bands can - and should - be seen on the following dates!
