If a space alien collided with a reverb guitar pedal, a surfer from 1950s California and a disco dancin’ fool, then you’d probably get a strange looking creature which probably made some weird freaky sounds. Thought Creature are a band that sound like this (but don’t necessarily look the party – actually, scratch that, they do).

Emerging from Wellington, Thought Creature have already toured New Zealand with Blink on one of the famed A Low Hum tours, featured at Camp A Low Hum ‘07 and ‘08 and also played a support slot for Canadian post-rockers Explosions in the Sky. Once again they are unleashing their psychadelic reverb-dunked surf disco rock ‘n’ LOL music to New Zealand’s bars, pubs and clubs with phasers set to “dance”. Tunes like “Your Telepathy” and “First One Off This Planet Lives” from their new album “Teleport Palace”, it’s sure to get you in the mood for some outer-space boogie-woogie.

Speaking of their new album, it will be exclusively available during their live show and will be released on the unsuspecting masses a little later on. A night of dancing and partying is certainly instore if Thought Creature’s name is on the bill.
