about

Recorded in Auckland at Roundhead Studios and The Lab, and mixed by UK-based engineer Dave Eringa (The Who, Manic Street Preachers), Real Dancing is Racing in their purest form.

Real Dancing was born of early hour cocktail bars in rural New Zealand and black ice drives through the Desert Road; capturing the wild and vivid journeys that the band live while touring.

Containing the already released tracks The Bass, Misbehaving, Motel Pool, Devil's Work, Party Slow, and Run Wild, the album is filled with an epicurean sensibility, Patron Anejo soaked discoesque grooves, lurid crooning and a love of the road.

Real Dancing spawned three number ones on the NZ Rock Chart and earned them a nomination for Best Rock Artist at the 2019 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.

The band is made up of long-time collaborators Ed Knowles and Sven Pettersen - two crucial parts of the colossus that was The Checks. Completing the line-up are two other heavy hitters from the Kiwi alt scene, Daniel Barrett, formerly of Sherpa and Izaak Houston, formerly of Space Creeps.

The Ghost of Freddie Cesar

Can't wait to hear the next albums in Troy's 10 albums / 10 genres / 10 years gauntlet. After giving this album a thorough listen 3 times through, I had to buy his discography so far. I defy anyone to listen to track #1: "Shake that skinny ass" without finding their foot tapping. Check yo pulse if it doesn't - odds are your soul has completely shuffled off its mortal coil! theUtmost

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin

My favorite rock band of the 21st century, and I've heard all the best there is to hear. Can't really put into words that feeling I had discovering them through KEXP. Thank you and much love from South Africa! Nqobani
