Bang! Bang! Aids! are an experimental hardcore band from Melbourne, Australia. The duo will soon be rocking New Zealand, playing shows in Auckland and Wellington before heading to Camp A Low Hum in early February. Einstein caught up with Rhys via myspace and found out the bands future plans.

After several years of playing together, touring and releasing an EP in 2006 titled Tales, New Zealand will mark a stopping point for Bang! Bang! Aids!. With flourishing ambitions to explore different avenues, Bang! Bang! Aids! will be put on hold until further notice, “B!B!A! are dead after Camp. Camp and New Zealand will be our last shows” says Rhys. This may or may not explain Rhys’ eagerness to play a house party in Auckland, but with the end in sight I’m sure the pair is looking to play as often as possible.

With their final show less than a month away, the pair will soon set their sights on new exciting adventures, and for Rhys that doesn’t involve playing music. “I am off to China for a year to teach”. But for his band mate and long time companion it means a chance to try life as a solo musician, “Hobbs is sticking around in NZ/Melbourne to party and rock solo stuff.” The details of this project are yet to be revealed, but with a chance of local involvement I’m sure it won’t go unnoticed.

It’s recommended that you go out and support Bang! Bang! Aids! on their final tour of New Zealand. Rhys was extremely kind and generous to Einstein and we’d like to wish him all the best for his year in China.
