After over a decade away, legendary NZ electronic act Minuit are back – and bringing their iconic live show to Auckland.
..................................................................................................
This reunion makes us very happy because we thought it might never happen – ‘the Kiwi band with the French name’ are back together for a series of shows.
Singer, Ruth, describes the gigs as: "a chance to dance, laugh and sing (in my case, often the wrong words), together live one more time."
Minuit (minwee) became a must-see live act through the 2000s. Fronted by the enigmatic Ruth Carr, her coy persona ignites while bandmates Ryan Beehre and Paul Dodge forge rib-rattling beats around her.
Their debut album, The 88, released in 2003, achieved gold status in New Zealand, quickly followed up by the 'I Hate Guns' EP.
Over the following decade, the trio toured their synths and samplers from Helsinki to Hanoi crafting their own refreshing sound – storming The Crystal Method's club night in LA, the FabricLive birthday bash in London, and headlining the Hanoi Music Festival in Vietnam. Along with festivals and shows up and down Aotearoa.
Having been retired since 2014, we’re excited to announce that Minuit are back onstage for a limited number of reunion shows.
These reunion performances will pay tribute to classic tunes from all four albums 'The Boy with the Aubergine Hair', 'Except You', 'Fuji', 'Menace', ‘Aotearoa’, ‘I Hate Guns’, ‘A Room Full of Cute’, 'Last Night You Saw This Band', ‘25 Bucks’ – everything gets a look in, plus a couple of other surprises.
The show will be supported by Brother Sister.
Minuit has a heart. And it beats loud. Real loud.
This is a live show that you don't want to miss.
