SACHI are back and are ready to kick off UCSA Re-Ori 2020! Tickets on sale Thursday 18th June. Support acts to be announced.
When crowds relate, music connects. SACHI cling to this truth like “the golden rule.”
The New Zealand duo—Nick Chrisp and Will Thomas— transform their every day, real life experiences into a vibrant, dazzling electronic-pop party. As a result, uncompromising creativity, unrestricted energy and an infectious spirit define the pair and translate right back to their audience – as evidenced by one sold out show after another and over 30 million streams in 2020.
Establishing themselves in North America for the first time in 2018, the duo began recording intermittently in Los Angeles before moving to the land of opportunity to live for six months in 2019 and tour with LA locals Phantoms. The sessions eventually became the flaming, appropriately dubbed, Nights with Ruby EP, a project brimming with buzzing, electronic evening energy.
Off the back of a hectic Summer festival run, SACHI took the stage on coveted lineups including Rhythm & Vines, Northern Bass, SoundSplash, Six60 Saturday’s and many more. Coming from a band background, Will and Nick inject elements of a live band setting into their own exhilarating live show. Their dynamic chemistry see’s SACHI swapping instruments, as well as playing bass, drums and keys in addition to vocals; forming a non-traditional electronic experience.
