With a stack of new roof-raisers in the arsenal thanks to forthcoming album The System Is A Vampire, Shapeshifter cross the Tasman in winter for an overdue tour. The New Zealand crew has built a formidable reputation for its live show, and as inthemix heard recently, it’s always getting better. In the words of the group’s multi-instrumentalist Sam Trevethick: “When people come to our concerts, they should have an uplifting experience.” The System Is A Vampire saw the five-piece pushing for a ‘live’ energy in the studio, and tracks like Dutchies, Voyager and Sleepless are sure to sound colossal onstage.
