There’s a Tuesday took time out from the most exciting period of their career so far to perform a cool Rolling Stone AU/NZ In My Room session.
The Christchurch-born indie pop band recently travelled to Seoul as part of a multi-national music residency run by the Asia New Zealand Foundation, not-for-profit music hub agency BIG FAN, and South Korea’s CJ Cultural Foundation.
After being selected for the 2025 Seoul Residency, the band got to spend ten days recording at professional studios and collaborating with local musicians, and were even given the opportunity to perform live at CJ Azit, a respected venue in the buzzing South Korean capital. According to the Asia New Zealand Foundation, There’s a Tuesday stood out thanks to their dreamy sound and thoughtful approach to songwriting.
“After 10 days in the non-stop vibrancy of Seoul and being looked after by the kindest, most generous people, we honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are. We are going forward with so many new connections, a whole lot of newfound inspiration, and a serious obsession with Korean food,” the band told Rolling Stone AU/NZ after returning home. “We feel an immense amount of gratitude towards everyone in Korea and back home who made this opportunity happen for us.”
This week finds There’s a Tuesday in another new country, Australia, showcasing their music at BIGSOUND and headlining their own show at Melbourne’s Laundry Bar on September 6th, as well as a run of showcases at Brisbane’s BIGSOUND next week (more information here).
