New single Jelly Inna Jar

Hallelujah Picassos are starting their year with the release of a new song 'Jelly Inna Jar' and a few live shows.

‘Jelly Inna Jar’ belongs in the lyrical esoteric field as Picassos’ song 'Peanut Butter', and like the aforementioned is a communal sing-along song.

Hallelujah Picassos will be joining Auckland cult outfit The Pet Rocks, who are reuniting after two decades for two shows as they celebrate the arrival of their unreleased album.

The Pet Rocks are marking 25 years since they completed their unreleased album PR Nightmare (finally seeing the light of day this March thru 1:12 Records).

The Pet Rocks, Hallelujah Picassos, and Warm Leather are playing at Whammy Backroom in Auckland on Friday 31st March and at the Yot Club in Raglan on Saturday 7 April.

Two gigs, two! Count em.

‘90s postmodern rockers reunite for first NZ shows in 23 years at Auckland’s Whammy Backroom and Raglan’s Yot Club in March / April 2023

The Pet Rocks, the ‘90s era postmodern rock band are returning for their first Aotearoa shows since 2000. The band are reuniting to mark 25 years since the completion of their unreleased album PR Nightmare (Out March 2023 through 1:12 Records). 

The band will headline Whammy Bar on Friday 31st March and Raglans Yot Club on Saturday April 8th (Easter Saturday) alongside Tāmaki Makaurau heroes Hallelujah Picassos, Andrew Tolley’s motorik music machine Warm Leather and Dirtbag Dj's 

Founding member Nick Kreisler (vocals / guitar) will be joined by ‘90s members Steven Shaw (bass), Kim Martinengo (drums) and Dominic Blaazer (electric piano, synthesizer). 

“Guitarist Simon Sampson is the only member we couldn’t pull in. He lives in London these days, so unfortunately, he can’t join us. We have recruited Aaron Wood (Grande Cobra, Los Hories) who is a close friend and will totally bring the guitar heat” Kreisler explained.
