Ha the Unclear return to Whanganui next week as they polish up for a tour of Australia.
The Auckland-based band have won praise since the release of their debut album Bacterium, Look At Your Motor Go, and a national tour last year.
Ha the Unclear were last in Whanganui when they played at Space Monster in March and will have a collection of new tracks when they hit the stage at the Whanganui Musicians Club on February 12.
Singer, guitarist and songwriter Michael Cathro said the response to the first album has been great.
"It's been really surprising and encouraging I suppose," he said.
