European Tour Nearly Broke Die! Die! Die!

New Zealand pop punkers Die! Die! Die! have admitted that a recent European tour caused the group to consider disbanding.

Drummer Michael Prain told  this week's The Drum Media, "Once you have been touring with the same three people, sharing space all the time, it can become too much.”

Despite their latest album title Harmony the band found life on the road caused quite the opposite effect on members.

“We had a few road bumps last year,” Prain acknowledged. “We were on a large European tour that was on the back end of releasing Form, as a record label distributed it over there, and in between all the shows we got some recording time where we did most of what is Harmony, and it all became a bit too much.”

After taking the small break that they all agreed on, Die! Die! Die! are rejuvenated and exactly where they want to be.

“I never wanted to be in a band that becomes something that isn't exciting, that becomes more like work, and your band are your work mates. It needs to be this really exciting and creative thing that you are doing alongside your friends. It's what our band has always wanted to be, an extension of our friendship.”
