Dolphin Friendly - Wont Be Fools NZ Tour Part 1: POSTPONED

Hard-hitting, no-bullshit Ōtautahi band Dolphin Friendly deliver five epic tracks of unbridled, groove-laden rock with Won’t Be Fools Ep- their unapologetic salute to 90’s grunge anthems blended with elements of psychedelic rock, hip-hop, and reggae. They're now on tour around the country to promote it!

Christchurch is supported by Coast Arcade.

Dolphin Friendly are a tight unit who have established themselves as a force in their own right. The towering new EP reveals a band determined to step up and deliver outright blistering performances imbued with energising, double-tracked guitar riffs, indefectible and aggressive drum grooves, and crunch-slap jazz-infused bass - all topped off by a multi-dimensional vocal display of smooth vocality, underground rap, and hard-core screaming.

From there, Dolphin Friendly set the local music scene on fire with their authenticity and energy, securing slots on the major music festivals nationwide, and opening for acts like Sticky Fingers, Skeggs, L.A.B, The Black Seeds, Shapeshifter and more. As a result, Dolphin Friendly now enjoy a hard-earned reputation as one of the best emerging local rock acts.

That passion extends to the band members’ shared core value of humanitarianism. Their altruistic tendencies are backed up by the band actively donating 10% of all their tour profits to disadvantaged individuals, communities, or relevant causes in need. To date, Dolphin Friendly have happily donated thousands of dollars to issues associated with chronic illness, mental health, racism, poverty, and sustainability.

To celebrate the release of Won’t Be Fools, Dolphin Friendly fans will have numerous opportunities to see the band perform live as they hit the road for a nationwide run of shows all through summer. The first phase is announced today, with more summer tour dates and festival appearances to be announced soon.
