Merry Christmas
2009 has been an exceptionally big year for These Four Walls. We spent the first six months locked away in the studio working on what would become Down Falls An Empire, and the next three months preparing to release it…
Having such an awesome release party and hearing all the great feedback from people who have the album has been a real positive for us, and playing shows with Nickelback and Karnivool have definitely been huge highlights We just want to thank everybody for their support throughout the year and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
It’s not over yet though, there’s still one big show to cap the year off – The Detonate Festival in Taranaki on New Years Eve. If you haven’t made plans yet, this is a great opportunity to see some of the best rock bands in NZ performing together and to watch some shit get blown up too. Check out the details here.
Have a happy holiday season!
