About Summer Thieves

Known for their ability to start the party with their indie-pop inspired tunes, Summer Thieves have gone from playing Dunedin house parties to NZ’s biggest stages, with 2021 bringing the release of their album Paradise Down The Road. Cutting their teeth as a “Scarfie” covers band in NZ’s deep-south, Summer Thieves quickly began performing originals as their fanbase expanded. After releasing a run of singles, 2017 saw the release of their debut album, Warped, a 12-track journey laced with catchy hooks & hypnotic rhythms produced by Tiki Taane. The following years saw the band become a regular on the festival circuit, with multiple performances across the likes of Rhythm & Vines, Bay Dreams, Rhythm & Alps & Soundsplash. 2020 saw the band return with an extended five-piece lineup, and the release of their anticipated follow-up EP, Bandaids & Lipsticks. The EP saw them expanding their indie sound, incorporating more of a polished-pop feel, while continuing to embrace their party-starting roots. Their second album, Paradise Down The Road, was released November 2021. The album moves effortlessly across all aspects of their sound, bringing together elements of pop, rock, blues, indie & even tinges of hip-hop & gospel. The band followed it up with festival appearances across NZ, and their debut Australian shows in April 2022, supporting L.A.B and performing a number of headline shows. 2022 saw the band play a sold-out headline tour across New Zealand and release the single ‘Tongue & Cheek’ with the B-side ‘Pieces’ from their upcoming album. They followed it up with another massive summer run of shows, and the single 'Sunshine'. Set for release in 2023, the new Summer Thieves album will see the band pushing their sound further into weird and wonderful places, while staying true to the band’s sound that has won fans over across their massive summer shows in New Zealand and Australia.
