The band have been locked away in the studio for much of 2020 working on their third full-length album with producer Jol Mulholland (Tami Neilson, Delaney Davidson).
Although not due out until next year, they will be debuting many of these songs in a live setting alongside fan favourites.
Originally formed in the small coastal township of Waikuku Beach by vocalist and songwriter Brooke Singer and guitarist John Fitzgerald, French for Rabbits expanded to include multi-instrumentalists Ben Lemi (Trinity Roots, Dawn Diver) and Penelope Esplin (Grawlixes) alongside drummer Hikurangi Schaverien-Kaa.
They have released three records including the NZ Music Award-nominated debut EP Claimed by the Sea in 2012, achieved international success with more than 20 million streams of singles The Other Side and Goat, and toured internationally in the US and Europe.
On their last (fondly remembered) trip to Hamilton, the band's car broke down on the Desert Rd - only making it to the venue in the nick of time! They are "pretty sure" it will be a less eventful trip this time, opting to drive from Auckland instead.
