Moving to Melbourne - Dartz

Wellington four-piece DARTZ are back with their first single in over a year, and they’re not

sticking around. Moving To Melbourne sees “the band from

Wellington, New Zealand” refining their pub-punk stomp into a tight, punchy rock groove,

delivering an anthemic send-off for a generation in search of greener pastures.

With the razor-sharp lyricism and trademark satirical bite of frontman Danz, Moving To

Melbourne takes aim at Aotearoa’s snowballing population exodus.

The track comes alongside a music video directed by Joe Curtis, made with support from NZ On Air.

Fittingly, DARTZ will celebrate the release of Moving To Melbourne with release shows in

both Wellington and Melbourne, before embarking on a 30-plus date European tour across

Italy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, France, and the UK. Fresh off multiple award

nominations for their 2024 classic Dangerous Day To Be A Cold One, this tour will mark

DARTZ’s largest worldwide endeavour yet.

As the boys gear up for their next chapter, Moving To Melbourne reaffirms DARTZ’s place

as New Zealand’s sharpest new rock voice: equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and politically

charged. Whether you’re booking a one-way ticket or just shaking your head at the state of

things, this one’s for you.
